    I've never actually seen him play, those were the sentiments of Jerry Meyer, who is Rivals.com national recruiting analyst. Here is his direct quote:

    At 6 feet 8 Daniels has a well-rounded skill set and is a terrific outside shooter. His versatility at his length makes him good. His ability to spot up and stretch the defense with his outside shooting makes him great. Daniels is a smart player who typically makes good decisions on the dribble, but as he moves up to higher levels of play, it will be his ability to make shots that will separate him from his fellow combo forwards.

    As far as weaknesses are concerned, Daniels needs to improve his physical strength. Also, he is a good athlete, but he is not a great athlete.

    As for his position, Daniels is a true combo forward in my estimation. His primary position in college will likely be as a face-up four man, but he is fully capable of playing the three as well.

    I don't see him as a one-and-done player, but I do see him as a player who will have the opportunity to leave prior to his senior year.

    Unrelated to the fact that Duke has begun to show recruiting interest in Daniels, he reminds me of Kyle Singler as a player.

    Hmmm, where'd you read that? Maybe the TDD Premium board?

    Oh I know, that wasn't meant as an attack on you. I just happen to think Meyer is way off with his comparison.

    Dave Telep seems to think that Duke is very much in the mix for Daniels. He even thinks the Andy Borman / Greg Spatola connections with IMG may give Duke an advantage. You need Insider to view:

    Mentions that we're giving him a visit this week before the Tourney starts. Did he officially reclassify to the class of 2011?

    I saw something from apx. two months ago where he said clearly that he was going to do this.

    It sounds like duke is closing in on Daniels. It would be a great class if they did

    In a free article from rivals.com it says that we are neck and neck with KU for Daniels. any of the recruiting experts have an analysis on his game or recruitment? he seems like more of a luxury recruit

    If the staff is recruiting him, they obviously don't feel this way. Daniels sounds like a guy who can make an impact his freshman, but would not necessarily be a one and done guy, either. That means he can come off the bench if necessary his freshman year before getting a more prominent roll his sophomore year. I'm sure the staff is not recruiting someone just to let them sit in the trophy case as an extra recruiting prize.

    I think coach Cal already has his third straight recruiting trophy set to go in the UK trophy case. A threepeat would be the greatest accomplishment in UK's history.

    Does this mean the coaching staff does not feel like Alex Murphy will reclassify? I understand Murphy is a small forward and Daniels is a power forward but it looks to me that Murphy would have to play the four to get on the court next year.

    Yeah i imagine that Alex Murphy wont be coming in 2011.
    However, I believe I read somewhere on here, you cannot have enough 6'6-6'8 athletic sf/pf's.

    St. John's has like 8 coming in next season. DeAndre definitely seems like an interesting prospect. If the Duke staff wants him, so do I!

    UK's greatest achievement was having 5 first round draft picks last year. Doesn't get any better than that for Coach Cal!

    Not that it means much, but Rivals shows him as having an offer from Duke.

    UK's greatest achievement was convincing the world that graduation does not exist.
