Ray McCallum Jr., a 6-foot-1 guard from Detroit Country Day and Trey Zeigler, a 6-5 forward from Mt. Pleasant, will announce their decisions on which school each will attend on ESPNU today.

Indications are that both will play for their fathers.

Ray McCallum Sr., is the coach at Detroit Mercy and Zeigler's father, Ernie Zeigler, is the coach at Central Michigan.

The first day of the spring signing period is today.

"I'll talk with Ray tonight and see where his heart is," Ray McCallum Sr. said.

Ray McCallum Jr. had narrowed his choices to Arizona, Detroit Mercy, Florida and UCLA.

Zeigler had recently narrowed his choices to five schools, Arizona State, Central, Michigan, Michigan State and UCLA. What may have him leaning toward Central is the fact his father received a four-year contract at the university.

Both players were selected to The Detroit News Dream Team the past two seasons.

Should Zeigler sign with Central, Michigan coach John Beilein would lose a valuable recruit he had hoped would fill the void left by junior Manny Harris, who decided to forego his senior season and enter the NBA draft.

A player who could help fill that slot is Isaiah Sykes, a 6-5 guard/forward from Detroit Denby. Sykes will make an official visit to Michigan this weekend.
