Demetrius Henry is down to two schools.
The 6-foot-9 center from Fort Pierce (Fla.) Faith Baptist School will choose between Miami and South Carolina and will announce today at 10 a.m. at Fort Lauderdale Northeast High on Wednesday. South Florida is no longer on his list.
“It’s down between South Carolina and Miami and he’ll decide the on the 24th,” his coach, Kenny Gillion, told SNY.tv. “He cancelled his visit to South Florida.”
On Twitter, Henry wrote: “In deep thoughts about my college for the next couple years. I’ve never been so indecisive to make a decision. But I know both will be a great decision.”
Henry likes Miami’s style of play under coach Jim Larranaga, but is also close with South Carolina assistant Lamont Evans, a former coach with Team Breakdown, Henry’s AAU outfit.
He visited Miami last week and South Carolina two weeks before.
The Rivals No. 17 center in the Class of 2013, Henry averaged 18 points and 12 rebounds this season.
“He’s just a highly skilled post guy that can score inside and on the perimeter,” Gillion said.
“Defensively, he’s really good. He’s always been a double-digit rebounder and averaged 2-3 blocks a game.
“The biggest thing is he’s really versatile. He can defend, 3’s and 4’s and 5’s. Same same thing on the offensive end.”
Gillion said Henry would travel with Team Breakdown to the Pittsburgh Jam Fest this weekend to “support his teammates and use that time to think about what’s going on.”
