meh, nice shot but wasn't all that impressed by the video I watched when we first offered. that said he has been a late rising recruit so if he's on a growth spurt or upward trajectory of improvement he could continue to get a lot better. this puts some of the unproven wings on this year's roster on a bit of notice since we have no open scholarships. i'd assume someone from the farmer, wilson, eoppersen trio of frosh will be nudged out to make room.
fwiw, verbal commits continues to list UT as his only D1 offer
edit: ok, here's his most recent video.

i also rewatched his jr year mix tape. what jumps out is the consistency of form, angle, release on his shot. it's a highlight reel, soooooo, but he really shoots a pure soft ball. also maintains his form and stroke with a hand in his face, which is something some players struggle to develop. looks like he's still growing. lots of blocked shots on his reel too. not sure how much of that translates from mid level ohio high school basketball to D1, but it shows well for his instincts on defense.
certainly, a lower profile recruit, but a kid we've seen a lot since he plays on the AAU/tourney circuit with our other recruit. i won't complain about a kid with a great stroke and some size who likes to play defense. under the rim players like him tend to be underrated. that's not to call him unathletic. just that guys who make plays above the rim get more hype and attention as recruits. davis is first and foremost a catch and shoot player-that translates to D1, especially in our system. he won't dunk on anyone but he moves well and isn't soft.
