Jerry Tipton has written an article this evening on the top targets for Kentucky during the Spring signing period.
Everyone knows Trevor Lacey is in the mix to join the 2011 class, but everyone sort of thought DeAndre Daniels was out of the running.
Jerry seems to think he isn’t.
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]Tipton spoke to Daniels coach Andy Borman at IMG Academy.
Borman, who happens to be Coach K’s son-in-law, says Duke isn’t the favorite for the 6’8″ power forward.

[LEFT][COLOR=#000000]Daniels, who made an official recruiting visit to Kentucky during this past season, will be playing in the Derby Festival Basketball Classic in Louisville on April 22. Besides Kentucky and Duke, he’s also considering Texas (his original college choice), Kansas and Oregon.[/COLOR][/LEFT]

[LEFT][COLOR=#000000]The IMG Academy coach said he expected Daniels to make a college choice sometime after the visit to Duke. “How soon after that, I don’t know,” he said.[/COLOR][/LEFT]

Back in January, there were reports that Kentucky had [URL=”http://www.nationofblue.com/uk-has-pulled-scholarship-offer-deandre-daniels-4617/”]rescinded their scholarship offer to Daniels.[/URL]
Now unless things have changed in the last couple of weeks, I would be really surprised if Kentucky is back recruiting DeAndre Daniels.
One thing of importance in the article is Cal is supposed to be in Huntsville this Friday to meet with Trevor Lacey… Could this have to do with what Brandon Knight’s decision is or just a chance for Coach Cal to get some good Alabama home cooking?
