Marvin Bagley the No.1 ranked player of 2018 has setup an official visit with the Arizona Wildcats. He will be on campus to visit once the AAU season is done. He'll also be visiting Duke & USC. Then plans to visit Kentucky later. I'll be posting an in depth look into Arizona's chances of landing Bagley this weekend.

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but wouldn't that mean that an elite school is not going to get an official visit?
Arizona/Duke/USC set, figuring out Kentucky, then Kansas/UCLA has to battle it out for the last official?
I am going to guess and say that UCLA gets bunched in right before/after the USC visit as an unofficial.
This kid is so hyped, I am not sure I even want him to come to Arizona.
He would have been the best player that Miller has landed during his tenure, and I get the notion that he is going to have a "bigger than the program" hype that is going to accompany him.
Per Jeff Dean of sports radio 1580 in Phoenix Arizona is in the lead to get Bagley
Check out the article below. I will have more of an in depth look on Bagley going to Arizona posted tomorrow.
The Arizona Wildcats are the favorites to land Marvin Bagley III, the nation's top basketball recruit in the Class of 2018, sources have told 1580 The Fanatic's Jeff Dean.
During the debut of "Wildcat Country" on 1580 the Fanatic on Wednesday, Dean confirmed the Wildcats are "in the driver's seat" to earn Bagley's services. Dean noted UCLA, which is located less than 25 miles from Bagley's high school in California, has also emerged as a top contender for Bagley.
The 6-foot-10, 220-pound power forward is originally from Tempe. He attended Tempe Corona Del Sol High School and Phoenix Hillcrest Prep before transferring to Sierra Canyon School in Chatsworth, California. Bagley averaged 24.6 points and 10.1 rebounds last season.
Bagley has received scholarship offers from over 20 basketball programs, including Duke, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisville, USC and Oregon. He received his first collegiate offer from Northern Arizona when he was 14 years old.
Alex Barcello, who played alongside Bagley at Corona and is part of Arizona's 2017 recruiting class, could be a key factor in bringing Bagley to Tucson, Dean reported.

If we pull 1 of Bagley, Bol, Reddish for 2018 thats a huge win.
Marvin Bagley III, the country's No. 1 basketball recruit, could skip senior year. This has been talked since last year & he is still in the class of 2018, but I guess you never know.

SB Nation is also saying that Bagley may reclassify to play this year Click Here (https://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/2017/7/14/15972042/marvin-bagley-iii-recruiting-duke-usc-reclassify-nba-draft)
I don't think Bagley would be eligible academically to play right away if he did reclassify.
