Looks like DeAndre Daniels is going to take another visit on December 19th. North Carolina State has gained some interest from the Kentucky recruit because of a good friend of his being recruited by the Wolfpack. This from Packinsider.com

2011’s Christian Garrett and DeAndre Daniels are not only friends, they’re teammates, and very talented teammates at that. Hailing from the California, the duo decided to take their games east to IMG Academy where head coach Andy Borman assured them that they’d get the proper exposure and training needed to reach their potential at the next level. There’s no doubt they’ve gotten that exposure, especially Garrett who was a little known guard before making the move. “Now I’m being recruited by NC State, Alabama, and Virginia.” said Garrett who is a big 6’5 heady point guard who is just starting to be recognized.
Daniels, on the other hand, was already a well known commodity in the college basketball world. The 6’8 forward is a post-grad who can score from anywhere on the court and had been courted by major schools even before his move to IMG.
“DeAndre is a great player. He’s 6’8 and can do it all on the basketball court and he’s really fun to play with. We’re close friends on and off the floor.” said Garrett of his 5 star teammate who has already taken official visits to Oregon, Kansas and reportedly Kentucky.
NC State has been pushing hard for both Daniels and Garrett since this summer when Larry Harris first had contact with Garrett’s step-father and expressed NC State’s interest. Since then it hasn’t been only Harris on the case, head coach Sidney Lowe and Monte Towe have also made their way down to Florida to visit the two stars. With NC State on both of their lists and the Wolfpack eager to land them, they’ve decided to take a visit to Raleigh together on December 19th when State takes on Arizona in the RBC Center, according to Garrett.
[INDENT]”We decided to take the visit together since NC State is recruiting both of us pretty hard. We wanted to go together since we’ve talked about playing together in the future. It’s definitely a possibility.” Garrett told us.

You would have to think with the idea that Daniels wants to redshirt this year has taken the glow off of him for Kentucky. The Cats need him this year, in my opinion, not for 2011.
