    Nico Mannion, the 6-foot-3 point guard from Pinnacle (AZ) High School, named his top ten schools on Monday via Twitter. Kansas, Duke, Oregon, Arizona, Utah, Villanova, Marquette, USC, UCLA, and Vanderbilt were the schools to make the cut.

    Mannion told ZAGSBLOG in April that he was planning on reclassifying to the Class of 2019.

    “I’m actually thinking about reclassing to 2019,” said Mannion. “I’m going to take college credits this summer so I have the option if I want to.”

    According to 247Sports, Mannion is ranked as the No. 23 overall player in the Class of 2020 and the No. 2 player from the state of Arizona.

    “I don’t know if I want to play my senior year in Arizona, it might get boring,” he said of attending Pinnacle High there. “If I’m ready after my junior year, there’s no reason to stay in high school.”

    NORWALK, CA — Scottie Barnes, the 6-foot-7 small forward from the University (FL) School, told ZAGSBLOG on Friday at the Pangos All-American Camp that Florida, Florida State, and Miami are the three schools working the hardest in his recruitment. He broke down each school:

    Florida: “It’s close to home. It’s only three hours away, so it would be easy to travel back home.”

    Florida State: “They did well this year. They made it to the Elite 8 and they’re a very good program. They know how to win.”

    Miami: “It’s only an hour from me. They have a good coach and a very nice campus.”
