Marvin Bagley III, the consensus top recruit in the class of 2018, will announce his commitment Monday night, according to multiple reports.
Bagley is expected to make public his choice of schools during ESPN's 11 p.m. ET SportsCenter.
But there's a second question to be answered beyond who the 6-11 forward will choose from among Arizona, Duke, UCLA and USC: Will he reclassify into the class of 2017, meaning he could play this season and be eligible for the 2018 NBA Draft?

According to CBS Sports, which cited unidentified sources, Bagley's effort to reclassify is aimed at that 2018 draft and, if eligible for it, he "would likely shoot to the top of most NBA franchises' big boards — ahead of Missouri's Michael Porter Jr., Arizona's DeAndre Ayton and EuroLeague star Luka Doncic."
Some have described Bagley as the most NBA-ready player since LeBron James.
