DeAndre Daniels will remain at IMG Academy through the spring and will not attend college until the fall, sources with knowledge said.
The 6-foot-8 Daniels had considered leaving IMG and attending college for the second semester.
A onetime Texas commit, he had narrowed his list to Kansas, Kentucky and Texas, although Kentucky reportedly withdrew its offer.
LaRon Daniels, DeAndre’s father, was not available for comment and IMG coach Andy Borman politely declined comment.
When Daniels does arrive on a college campus, Borman expects him to have an immediate impact.
“He’s going to be an impact player,” Borman told ZAGSBLOG last month.”He’s 6-8, 6-9, he weighs about 197 right now so he’s put on 17 pounds. He can score. He’s a three. So even though he’s 6-9 he’s a face-up three. He’s a guard, he’s not a four. So he’s going to create a lot of matchup problems. He’s a tough kid, too.
“So he’s going to be an impact player, just like [St. John’s commit] Phil [Greene] will be on the next level, and immediately on the next level.”
