In case you haven’t heard (and I”m sure everyone has heard), a death in the family caused DeAndre Daniels to drop out of the Derby Festival Basketball Classic.
Daniels had been linked to Kentucky. Now, he’s said to be considering Duke, Texas and Kansas. He played for IMG Academy this past season.
The death of a grandfather caused Daniels to drop out of the Derby Festival game.
Among the players in the game is Trevor Lacey, a wing from Huntsville, Ala. UK Coach John Calipari visited with Lacey since the season ended.
Jerry Tipton of the Lexington Herald- Leader has covered Kentucky basketball since the 1981-82 season. That time includes five coaches, five Final Fours, four athletic directors, two interim athletic directors and many memories. Before coming to Lexington, Tipton worked eight years for the Huntington (W.Va.) Herald-Dispatch. He covered Marshall’s basketball team for two seasons before coming to the Herald-Leader.
