The Arizona Wildcats are in the battle for Marvin Bagley III, who would be the top pick in this year's draft.  "The 2018 class has a once in a decade type of player in Marvin Bagley," ESPN basketball recruiting director Paul Biancardi said. "He may be the best prospect I've seen in my time at ESPN." "The NBA looks hard at position size combined with athletic ability, measurables, scoring skills and basketball knowledge." Bagley's game has a maturity with high-end results as he flirts with a triple-double on some nights. He will be the top pick in the 2019 NBA draft if he continues to do his job.

Bagley was one of the first elite players in 2018 to cut his list but changed up his final six in April to Arizona, Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, UCLA and USC. Sean Miller and John Calipari watched him multiple times during the April live period, while his other four schools also tracked him closely. Arizona, UCLA and Kentucky appear to be the early leaders, but there's still a long way to go.

Sean Miller and Arizona have been the most consistent program on the recruiting trail the past several years and already have two top-100 prospects under their belt. The Wildcats would likely need to land Bagley to have the #1 recruiting class in the country.
