Prep basketball star Daniel Alexander jokes that he lives in a house divided.

His mother attended the University of Texas and his dad has season tickets to Longhorn football games. Alexander, who lives close to Austin in Dripping Springs, will soon call Texas A&M home.

The 6-foot-8 senior-to-be wing/forward verbally committed to the Aggies last month and was at A&M checking out his future digs over the past two days at Aggie coach Mark Turgeon's elite camp.

"In a way, I do," Alexander said of starting to feel at home already. "I have to get used to the facilities a little bit. It's so big I find myself getting lost once in a while, but the coaches are great and I pretty much think of them as family at this point."

Alexander had a long day Monday, working out at the camp and then playing some pickup games.

"[Monday] was pretty grueling so I just kind of tried to keep my feet under me," Alexander said. "Last night after the actual camp we played five or six high-intensity games with the current players and some NBA players. The game was a lot faster and a lot more physical and I enjoyed it."

Alexander is ranked 32nd in Rivals.com's top 150 and is the No. 3 player out of Texas. He is listed as the nation's No. 10 power forward. With his ability to run the court and with his quick release on a jump shot that ranges past the 3-point line, though, he could easily play the wing.

"I'm definitely working on strength and quickness, that's definitely the next step for me as a player toward being good or even great at the next level," Alexander said. "Every time I come to a camp like this it's kind of a reassurance that I need to not be lazy or take any breaks, that I still have to work hard. Just because I dominated my high school level doesn't mean I'm going to come in here and have a cakewalk."

As a junior, Alexander averaged 19 points and nine rebounds for Dripping Springs, which plays in District 25-4A.

Alexander -- who was also being looked at by Big 12 schools Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, along with Arizona -- gave plenty of reasons as to why he's selected Texas A&M, which has won at least one NCAA Tournament game in each of the last four years.

"The coaching staff has been there since the beginning. They were the first school to offer me [a scholarship] and to actually show interest," Alexander said. "The playing style, distance from home, the facilities are great, it just seems like an all-around good situation."

NOTES -- Alexander has been invited to the Nike Vince Carter Camp for the Top 20 wings in the country, and to Nike's LeBron James Camp in July.
