Derrick Favors is pretty much a household name at this point. Favors graces the top 5, in every major publication in the nation. Favors has that factor to his advantage so he is enjoying the recruiting process and soaking up the attention. Favors list of potential suitors are pretty much a who’s who list of college basketball and has always included 15 or more programs. Favors, was recently asked what schools he is considering, he went on to rail off,

“Georgia, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Memphis, UConn, N.C. State, Texas,” he eagerly said with a smile.

Favors went on to name off another formidable list,

“Indiana, Illinois, Miami,” he continued. “Florida State, Tennessee, Kentucky, Kansas, Duke.”

Favors has made it clear for sometime that his decision will be a well thought out one, he wants to find that perfect fit for his 6′9 235 pound frame. Over Memorial Day weekend Favors gave the schools on his list a reason to be patient, leading his Atlanta Celtics AAU squad to the Tournament of Champions Title over Kenny Boynton and Team Breakdown in the U17 championship game. Favors had a triple double in the final scoring 20 points, pulling down 16 boards and declining 11, two-point transactions. When asked about his time frame for a decision Favors said,

“I probably won’t make a choice until next April,”

Favors has been rumored to be leaning towards choosing a school close to his family and support system. Gergia Tech has long been in with Favors. The Yellow Jackets are probably the team to beat at this point for the kids services. Georgia is fresh off of a Cinderella S.E.C. tournament win and has peaked the interest of Mr. Favors as well. Derrick’s Coach’s, Family and Friends have been title lipped for the most part on which way he is leaning. When Favors was asked what the determining factor would be for his decision he stated,

“What feels right,”

“What feels right” to most people, is what they are familiar with and those three words may very well be the difference in the frantic frenzy for Favor’s phenomenal presence
