Kentucky Commit Daimion Collins is an Emerging Star from East Texas

From small-town Atlanta, Texas, Daimion Collins emerged as a top-20 prospect and Kentucky commit.

Atlanta, Texas, doesn't produce many high-profile basketball recruits, which makes Daimion Collins's emergence all the more remarkable. The 6-foot-9, 210-pound power forward has become one of the nation's best shot-blockers and rebounders.

Collins committed to Kentucky, where his combination of size, athleticism, and defensive presence projects him as an immediate impact player. Ranking among the top 20 in the 2021 class, he's put his small town on the basketball map.
