By JACOB POLACHECK

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.”
