    Marvin Bagley III mulls reclassifying, playing in college this year; Duke, USC, Zona in play

    Bagley has long been 2018's No. 1 prospect; if he plays this season, it would be huge


    NORTH AUGUSTA, S.C. -- Marvin Bagley III, the top-rated prospect in the Class of 2018, is exploring the possibility of reclassifying and enrolling in time to play college basketball this season, a source confirmed to CBS Sports on Friday.

    A source insisted no decision has been finalized. But it does appear to be academically possible, the source said.

    "You should probably ask CBS Sports; it seems like they know more than I know," Bagley's father, Marvin Bagley Jr., said to FanRagSports.com late Friday when asked if reclassifying s a possibility. "That's my answer -- ask CBS Sports."

    Bagley told reporters here at the Nike Peach Jam on Thursday that he plans to officially visit Duke next week -- then Arizona and USC in some order. If the 6-foot-10 forward were able to graduate from high school in time, get cleared academically and play in college this season, he would change the landscape of the sport drastically in the sense that Duke, Arizona and even USC could have a reasonable claim to the preseason No. 1 ranking by adding Bagley. Additionally, Bagley would immediately move to the top of most 2018 NBA mock drafts -- ahead of Michael Porter Jr., DeAndre Ayton and everybody else.

    Jerry Meyer of 247 Sports wrote earlier Friday that it's possible Bagley will reclassify while adding that his recruitment "has the feel of a Duke and USC showdown." The Arizona native who attends high school in California drew the biggest crowds at Peach Jam this week while dunking relentlessly, making jumpers and further establishing himself as the world's best high school prospect. He had 30 points and 16 rebounds in a win Friday night but was not made available to the media afterward.

    It's not a bad trade.  Plus they have Rose so loaded at PG...

    Cleveland got Crowder and Brooklyns unprotected 1. If Thomas signs a non max deal then I think Cleveland won. If Thomas still insists on a max then horrible trade.

    going from lebron and kyrie to crowder and thomas is not a win.

    But it's not a lose either, and that was the objective.  It had to get done before the year started.  Kyrie was such a prick that he didn't talk to ANYONE during long stretches of the playoffs.  He had to be moved.  Plus an unprotected #1 is pretty good. 

    One bright side is that IT has never had a good player mentor really.  Now he'll play with Lebron.  He can only get better, so long as his hip is okay.

    Lebron possible leaving is a separate thing. They had to dump Kyrie and seeing as everyone knew that I thought Cleveland did well. Yes, if Lebron leaves they will no longer be a title contending team, but this secures this year and they got back 2 nice building pieces should Lebron bail again.

    Most likely next year's #1 pick (Nets) was traded to Cleveland as well.  Could be two years in a row that Ainge trades the #1 pick.  

    In a situation where Cleveland had little leverage, I think they got a pretty good haul.

    He's okay. I don't think he turned out to be the really good player, everyone thought he would be when he was 18-20 years-old.
