Davis is among the top overall prospects in Arizona's loaded 2014 class, but became academically ineligible for the start to the season. Now back and ready to go academically, Davis looks prepared to finish off the remaining games of the season with a strong performance for the Pride. Mountain Pointe currently has a 7-4 overall record in the state's Division-I class.
Anyone that has spent time with Davis since he moved to the state of Arizona from Mississippi and Ohio before that understands the amount of potential and sheer talent that this young man possesses. A long and rangy and also ultra-athletic post player that plays much bigger than his size suggests, Davis has the body of a much older prospect. He attacks the rim with vigor and finishes very strong in the paint. Looking very similar facially to that of NBA forward Michael Beasley, this young man is only scratching the surface of just how good he can become as a player, since he has only been playing the game of basketball for 5 years.
As Davis can develop a consistent jump shot out to three-point distance, he will see his game develop for the collegiate level – making him much tougher to defend as a player.
Currently, Davis is hearing from such college programs as Portland State, Eastern Washington, Cal-State Bakersfield and Portland, and his recruitment should soar throughout the high school season, as more of the top-rated prospects in Arizona’s 2014 class begin to fall of the recruiting board. Davis will look to make his college decision during the late signing period in the spring.
Davis also comes from strong basketball bloodlines, as his mother was a standout forward prospect for Arizona State University in the mid-1990′s.
