Arizona target Nico Mannion expected to narrow finalists Wednesday

On Friday, Nico Mannion made a “huge announcement” when he declared that he is reclassifying from 2020 to 2019.

Another “huge announcement” is coming Wednesday at the Under Armour Finals in Las Vegas, according to Ryan Silver of West Coast Elite Basketball.

Mannion is expected to trim his list of finalists to five or six schools. He is currently down to 10 — Arizona, Duke, Kansas, Villanova, Oregon, UCLA, USC, Utah, Marquette, and Vanderbilt.

If you ask the experts that submit Crystal Ball predictions, Arizona is the overwhelming favorite. Meanwhile, recruiting guru Evan Daniels believes Mannion’s recruitment will come down to Arizona and Duke.
