<p>Dailey has not taken any official visits, but he intends to once the recruiting period begins this month. The 6-7, 215-pound forward is a three-time gold medalist while playing for Team USA U18 team. Dailey was an original Class of 2022 prospect, but he decided to reclassify to 2023 last spring. "I also have not ruled out any possibilities of going pro" Dailey said. There is no set commitment date for Dailey's decision, but he is expected to play for one of the eight schools on his target list once he commits. </p>
