Good rebounding #s fwiw.

Unclear as to whether he has an offer....

Georgia recruiting site says that, as of October, he had offers from UTEP, Louisiana-Monroe, UALR, Colorado State and Arkansas State

Really like his motor, athleticism. The paint would be filled with length and activity if you paired him next to Marv, Kass and Tariq.

Also, the Bonnies offered him recently and Ole Miss & Iowa St. been snooping around.

Johnnies need a guy with dreads

Not exactly a great pool of offers. Cmon now

Davenport was also named "Player of the Week" about a week ago....

Looks pretty skilled with the ball for a PF.

Looks like hes very athletic with a decent shooting stroke and solid post game but man that red team had no size whatsoever. If he is a solid rebounder as well he could end up being a decent piece to add if there are no other options for next year. We can not have our only true bigs be Owens Yakwe and Williams next year and expect to make a big jump

When asked about what he is looking for in a program, Davenport said “I want to go to a program with an up-tempo style of play, have the opportunity to play from the perimeter and have the chance to play right way and make an impact.  I have worked really hard on my perimeter shot and seen the results.  I want to keep improving my outside shooting and work more on my ballhandling.”

Another big that wants to play on the perimeter. Not really what we need

Kid looks pretty good.   I know it's not against Duke.  Don't think he's really a post-guy per se, but my guess is we won't have Alibgovic any more, and this kid is a net gain almost assuredly.   We don't have tons of options.  This kid and the right grad transfer could actually probably help quite a bit next year.  Seems quite athletic and works hard out there. Any chance a kid like this is a replacement for a guy like Freudenberg and not the post player us fans are looking to?  Maybe we grab a big as a grad transfer instead?   Not trying to start rumors,  up that makes some sense if so.

Davenport was injured last night in game Matt attended

If we are desperate, something is seriously wrong with the staff's approach to recruiting. Next season they either get their shit together, or the get the F out.

This is a guy who would likely be the 9th or 10th player on next year's squad, at most, and provide short term depth.  And it isn't even accounting for our ability to snag a grad transfer big for a one-year filler on the front line.  And you are hammering the recruiting?  The recruiting has been good in the short term.

Desperate is when you have 5 seniors who play and your sixth man is a young guy who is not talented enough for the league or an older player who likewise isn't talented enough but on the team because his brother was supposed to play.  There is a difference between taking fliers late in the game on a guy to be the fourth or fifth big in a rotation and taking fliers for guys to come in and play major minutes.
