He was selected to the NACA All-Tournament Team and has been named a NACA Tournament MVP.
In January 2015, half way through his junior year at Prime Prep Academy, the academy was closed due to allegations of looting and mishandling of funds. Advanced Preparatory International, a new group that opened in September 2015, took its place in place of Prime Prep. Coach Ray Forsett came back to Advanced Prep, while four others, including Ferguson, went from Prime Prep with Forsett to Advanced Prep in 2015–16.

It was the most lopsided victory in Nike Hoop Summit history.

Ferguson's coach Rick Pitino of the University of Louisville began recruiting Ferguson in January 2015. Kansas, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Oklahoma, Arizona, North Carolina, Wichita State, Iowa State, Wake Forest, Arkansas, and Maryland were among other teams showing an interest in him at the time.
He committed to play for Alabama in 2016-17 in August 2015. However, he never signed a letter of intent, and when the early signing period began in November without Ferguson's signature, several colleges began contacting him. This resulted in him leaving Alabama on March 1, 2016. He committed to Arizona on the first day of the spring signing period, but didn't sign a letter of intent despite expectations that he would, eventually signing non-binding financial aid papers.
His service to Arizona lasted until early June, when rumors emerged that Ferguson had dropped out of college for a chance to play abroad. Australia was deemed the most probable destination on June 6, with the Adelaide 36ers rumored to be close to formalizing a deal with Ferguson. He had told Wildcats coach Sean Miller that he had decided to pursue career paths rather than attending Arizona by the end of the month.
