Hargrave Military Academy (VA) senior power forward Deshawn Painter has received a release from the letter of intent he signed with the University of Florida, and the 6-9, 210-pound prospect is now free to be recruited by other schools. Painter knows of three schools that have shown immediate interest and expects to learn about more when he returns to Hargrave tomorrow.

“When I get back to school, I’ll really know which schools are looking at me,” said Painter, who is rated a 4-star prospect by Rivals.com and Scout.com. “[Hargrave Postgraduate Head Coach Kevin Keatts] said schools are calling. The only ones I know of as of right now are Maryland, Virginia Tech and N.C. State. I haven’t been back to school yet, so I don’t know what other ones have expressed interest yet.”

Painter discussed the situation with Florida.
