Darius Washington Jr will be attending the University of Memphis, not declaring for the NBA draft as reported by the Orlando Sentinel, according to his father.

"They took one quote with me talking about 'the next level' and ran with it," said Darius Washington Sr. "I'm giving you my word as a parent that my son is not turning pro. The next level for Darius is Memphis and to play for coach (John) Calipari. He will be in Memphis at the beginning of June to enroll in summer classes and he's going to play for coach Calipari next year."
