Kentucky No Longer an Option for Daniels


According to DeAndre Daniels’ AAU coach, he has [URL=”http://coast2coastrecruiting.net/2011/03/deandre-daniels-update-3/”]removed Kentucky[/URL] from his list and is now only considering Kansas, Duke and Texas. Of course, [URL=”http://www.truebluekentucky.com/index.php/basketball/926-guest-basketball/3825-uk-has-pulled-out-of-the-deandre-daniels-recruitment-.html”]Kentucky withdrew their offer[/URL] back on January 8th, but evidently Daniels’ didn’t officially recognize that until today.

Daniels is a 5-star SF out of IMG Academy ranked 9th in his class by Rivals and 35th by Scout. He originally committed to Texas, then de-committed but kept them on his list. It was then presumed he would go to Kansas because the Jayhawks offered a walk-on opportunity to his AAU teammate Christian Garrett. Now it seems that [STRIKE]Dook[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]Puke[/STRIKE] Duke has offered Daniels, and if a visit hasn’t already happened then it’s being set up now.

So to recap: 5-star SF DeAndre Daniels who was once committed to Texas, then considered a ‘[URL=”http://twitter.com/NealNieves/status/29756824777400321#”]done deal, 100%[/URL]’ to Kansas, is now probably going to play for Duke. Or not. We’ll see. Could be somebody completely different. Did I mention he’s in the class of 2011?
