He is transferring to Oak Hill Academy. This is the same school that had Carmelo Anthony, Rajon Rondo, Brandon Jennings, Josh Smith, Tyson Lawson, and for 1 year Kevin Durant.
Also already gaining interest from D1 Universities:
Another product of Boo Williams' program, rising junior guard Chris Tang of Hampton Roads Academy, is Oak Hill-bound, according to his host family in Williamsburg. Tang hails from China and as a sophomore earned first-team Division II all-state honors from the Virginia Independent Schools Athletic Association.
While Lin slipped almost completely below the radar, it seems exceedingly unlikely that a similar fate will befall Tang, who has been living in Virginia with a foster family since arriving in the U.S. as an eighth-grader and is reportedly completely comfortable with life as an American teen.
The sophomore -- who is currently averaging more than 20 points per game -- also stars for the powerhouse Boo Williams AAU program on the summer circuit, where he has already caught the eye of recruiters from Virginia, Virginia Tech, Maryland and Davidson, among other schools. A strong academic candidate, Tang has also reportedly piqued the interest of Lin's alma mater Harvard.

Maryland recruiting 2014 PG Chris Tang, the "next Jeremy Lin"
I don't like the stereotypical "He's Asian so he has to be the next Jeremy Lin!" thing, but I know we'll see it everywhere for the next few months. Anyway, Tang, a 2014 PG from Newport News, is drawing interest from Virginia, VT, and Maryland - he actually visited for the UNC game a few weeks ago, our friend Joe Davis at ScoutsFocus tells us.
Truth be told he looks way bouncier than Lin and a good bit flashier as well. It's a ways out, but add him to the growing list of potentially elite locals in the 2014 class.
