1 NATION (MICH.)

Josh Jackson, SF, 6-7, 185, Napa (Calif.) Prolific Prep

NOTES: Josh Jackson is one of the elite recruits of the Class of 2016, a bonafide five-star recruit who played for Sean Miller on Team USA’s U19 World Junior Championships in Greece earlier this month. Jackson is playing for 1 Nation out of Michigan because he once lived in Southfield, near Detroit. He moved last year to California, where he was born. He is from the San Diego area.

D.C. PREMIER

Markelle Fultz, SG, 6-4, 180, Hyattsville (Md.) DeMatha

NOTES: Fultz’s rags to riches story — from junior varsity as a sophomore to a major-college prospect last season — made headlines this week with USA Today. Arizona is in on him behind Book Richardson’s east coast ties. Fultz, who normally plays for the D.C. Blue Devils, is listed here because last year he traveled to Las Vegas as part of the D.C. Premier team.

PRO SKILLS ELITE (TEXAS)

Andrew Jones, SG, 6-4, 175, Irving (Texas) MacArthur

NOTES: According to Scout.com, Andrew Jones is one of the biggest breakout performers this summer and Arizona’s coaches have taken notice. Scout.com director of recruiting Evan Daniels writes of Jones: “Trmendous speed and athleticism. He thrives in the open court and has a burst that not many in high school basketball can get to. And because of his pure speed, lateral quickness and length, Jones projects as a good defender down the road.”

16U INVITATIONAL

WE CAN ALL GO ALL-STARS

Marvin Bagley, PF, 6-10, 210, Tempe Corona del Sol

NOTES: Bagley is a very highly-touted Class of 2018 post player from Tempe who is high on Arizona’s list. The thing is nearly every other major program is on him, including Kentucky. Sean Miller and ASU’s Bobby Hurley want to keep him in the state at their schools very badly.
