Pinnacle High basketball star Nico Mannion declared the top four universities he is considering over the weekend.
The five-star guard will choose between Arizona, Duke, Marquette and Villanova.
Mannion reclassified to the 2019 class in July.
Named the Gatorade Arizona Player of the Year, Mannion led Pinnacle to its first 6A Championship last season. He is ranked the No. 17 2019 prospect overall by 247 Sports.
He’s kept busy over summer, becoming the fourth-youngest player to play for the Italian National Team, according to FIBA Twitter.
He also attended the Steph Curry camp in August.
