The 19th ranked player in the class of 2006. A McDonalds All-American, for those of you unfamiliar with player rankings D.J. White was #13 2 years ago so this is an immediate starter/impact type freshman.
He's rumored to have IU leader and has been verbally quoted as saying IU and Kansas are his two leaders.
A win tonight in front of him could seal him up as a commitment for us.

First, I'm just funning with the mis-spelling of his name. He's a local kid here.
Second, tap the brake on what these recruiting websites say. Time and again they'll have people on their top list who aren't being recruited by anybody and they get exposed on that shit. As long as they keep asking the kids for their vitals and who's recruiting them and taking their word for it, they're gonna get duped. Usually, a list comes out and there's a handful of local guys on it who nobody ever heard of locally. Not saying that's the case with Darrel, his team won the 4A state championship last year (Note: 5A is top rung in Texas). Right now his biggest problem is scoring 2 points in the second half in a loss to Cater that has one player at least 6'6" coupled with his dismal performance in summer league play. Didn't know he was a McDonald AM. That flew under the radar here.
Also of note, It appears that his list has been paired down to four teams. Indiana, Baylor, SMU, and Kansas. Seems odd that Texas gets dropped from his list after they say they don't think there's a scholarship for him with the commitment of Durant.
He's no Larry Johnson or Chris Bosh (or Bracey Wright for that matter). But he is a very good player who most likely will go to Indiana.
