Daimion Collins is a "blank slate," a rarity among high-profile recruits

A five-star athlete out of Atlanta High School (TX), Daimion Collins averaged 35.2 points, 14.4 rebounds, 7.0 assists, and 6.2 blocks per contest en route to 2020-21 MaxPreps Texas High School Basketball Player of the Year honors as a senior. He would finish the year ranked as a top-20 prospect, sitting at No. 16 overall in the final On3 Consensus.

The numbers and ranking are clearly there, and his highlights are out of this world. He looks like a man amongst boys — mostly because he was.

Standing 6-foot-9 with a 7-foot-5 wingspan, there simply wasn’t anyone in his area that could stop him.
