Dearring was a highly touted player coming out of middle school who's had a tough time living up to the incredible hype so far as a high schooler. Once a physical superior 8th grader, Dearring has worked hard to reform his game as an outside shooter over the last year. He has also moved around a bit -- transferring from basketball factory Hopkins to his father's alma mater De La Salle, and then last year again to Minnetonka, where he'll hopefully play out his final two seasons. After impressing coaches at Wisconsin's summer team camp, associate head coach Greg Gard watched Dearring intently in Milwaukee at a recent NY2LA Sports event and the staff offered the rising senior a scholarship on Sunday night, July 15. The Badger offer is his first such high-major offer. Drake has offered, plus Illinois is coming on strong along with St. Louis.
