Bailey is ranked as the 94th player in the nation by Rivals and is listed as the 24th best point guard by ESPN. the 6-foot-3, 175 pound guard is playing his senior season at McNeil High School in Round Rock, Texas. Bailey also received offers from Arizona, Kansas and Ohio State among others.

With the addition of Bailey, the Ducks are slated to have three strong options at point guard on their roster next season. Junior Casey Benson and freshman Payton Pritchard are both expected to return, and junior combo guard Tyler Dorsey could also be in the mix for playing time at point guard should he choose to return next season.
