The class of 2021 point guard, who is now playing a key role for the Baltimore Panthers, had a unique path that has helped mold him into the player he is today.
Davis started his high school career at DeMatha, where he earned plaudits for being a pesky defender. He gained valuable experience learning from the great players and coaches within the Stags program but ultimately felt like something was missing.
“It was a good experience,” Davis told Prep Hoops. “But I wasn’t the player I wanted to be. My confidence wasn’t there.”
Davis ultimately decided to transfer to St. Frances. He was fortunate to learn from one of the best point guards to come through the Baltimore/DC area in recent memory, Ace Baldwin.
“My playmaking and IQ are the most improved parts of my game,” Davis told Prep Hoops. “I got to watch him [Ace] play. My reads are better. I’m becoming more of a point guard.”
Based on his tidy performances with the Baltimore Panthers at The St. James NIBC Invitational, it’s clear that Davis has taken his game to another level. He mentioned a variety of programs that are currently involved with his recruitment.
“Salisbury and McDaniel are two D3’s that are recruiting me hard,” Davis stated. “I’m also hearing from Fairfield, Columbia, Bryant, and NJIT.”
What is Davis looking for in a school?
“I just want to go somewhere that I can be comfortable and be myself, no matter what level it is.”
