Marvin Bagley is the biggest recruit in the 2018 recruiting class, and he became the biggest one in the 2017 as he reclassified to this season. Bagley will be attended Duke University joining an already loaded young roster, and Blue Devils will once again be the preseason number one team in college basketball. They’re going to be very talented, and Bagley only makes Duke better. He is a must-watch player that is going to draw many eyeballs to Blue Devils.

From what I read about Bagley, he will get some LeBron comparisons. For the first time since Jabari Parker, we’ll see a high school athlete get the James’ honor heading out of high school. Parker did not reach up to those standards and ended up as a second pick overall. The James-Parker comp was unfair though. They were not the same player whatsoever. People got way too excited with Parker’s potential without really honing in his skillset on the court. On the other hand, Bagley looks more like a young James than anything we saw from Parker.

The question remains can Duke live up to the hype? The young guns of Duke will be very young. Like Kentucky-style youth movement with Grayson Allen being the veteran as a junior. Duke let us down in this spot before such as last year where Blue Devils struggled through the middle of the season before they figured their shit out to make a two seed. Currently, their non-conference schedule is not as daunting as years past.

College basketball got a whole hell of a lot funner with Bagley in the mix.
