On June 15, college coaches can contact class of 2018 kids directly for the first time. It will be then that Bagley’s recruitment picks up major steam.

“They’re all showing love,” Bagley told SNY.tv in April in Brooklyn. “I’m not worried about the college part of it yet, I still have another two years left of high school. I’m just sucking it all in, the high school experience, being able to play with my teammates in different states, going around the world.

“I’m just enjoying it. When the college time comes, that’s when I’ll worry about it. I see the coaches out there, but I try not to think about it.”
