Dallas, TX (Future150) -- UT-Arlington was the first school to offer twin sensations Derrick and Erick Neal, and it payed off on Tuesday with a commitment from the Dallas Lincoln (TX) stars.
The point guard tandem were 2012 Future150 Camp All-Americans after shredding the competition at our Dallas camp last fall. Football standouts as well, the allure of dazzling fans and media on the hardwood won out over a future on the gridiron in the Lone Star State.
Both standing at 5-foot-9, they are known as ball-handling wizards with a penchant for scoring the basketball as well. What they lack in height, they make up for in quickness and court vision.
What makes them more dangerous is how well they play together, which will make the Mavericks a perennial threat in the Western Athletic Conference.
Erick is currently ranked #142 in the Future150 class of 2014 rankings, while Derrick comes in four spots later at #146.
