Talked with the father of Tallahassee Lincoln High quarterback B.J. Daniels Tuesday and he said Memphis remained in the running for his son, rated the No. 8 dual-threat QB in the country according to Rivals.com.

It was difficult to get a handle on B.J.’s preference. His father, Bruce, said his son will make his decision between Memphis and South Florida during a noon press conference at the school Wednesday. And Bruce said he had no idea on which way his son will go.

Daniels could be one of most significant signees for Tiger coach Tommy West during his seven-year run at the U of M. He is the ideal run-pass threat to make a spread offense hum.

Bruce praised the recruiting effort of Tiger assistant Darin Hinshaw, a former University of Central Florida quarterback and said his son was captivated by the thought of playing some basketball for the top-ranked men’s team.
