Bagley, the number one recruit in 2018 according to multiple sites, committed to The Duke Blue Devils over UCLA Basketball last night. The decision comes on the heels of him being reclassified to the 2017 class according to Scout.com.
The decision while not a deathblow to the Bruins was a bit of letdown since there were plenty of reports and a general sense that UCLA stood at least a fighting chance of landing his commitment.
UCLA Basketball lost a star player in Lonzo Ball who was selected second overall by the Los Angeles Lakers this year.
