Great get late in the game for 2019!

Now let’s lock up a few more!

Davenport is a local 2-star or unranked (on 247) guy. A late bloomer type. Offered by VT and a bunch of mid-majors, but some other bigger schools (NC State, Virginia) are said to have given him a look.

That said, he looks like a very good get. He looks like he has bulked up quite a bit with his year at Hargrave and should be instantly ready to play at UC (won't need to add weight/muscle first). It seems like the 6'7" listing is accurate, though I guess we will see when he arrives. Seems similar to the Hardnett/Prince mold (with a big less athleticism) of a guy who can bang inside or handle the ball and step out and shoot the three. Here's a nice tidbit from a scouting report on him.

The 6’7″ hybrid forward reminds me a little bit of a guy like Grant Williams over at Tennessee, the reigning SEC Player of the Year as just a sophomore. I’m not saying Davenport will do that, but he’s a guy who’s, traditionally, a little short to play the power forward position, but he’s explosive and strong and can shoot the three ball, making him a versatile guy that can play all over the court and create mismatches.

its actually crazy how few players transferred under cronin everyone else has these shake ups every year coaching change or not

Seems odd a all these people complaining about Mick's guys leaving when everyone says he sucks at recruiting. To the brannen haters almost every coach starts at a small school works up the chain. You will realize real quick this guy can coach. Don't count on them going 13-15 for long if ever and if Jarron comes back they'll finish top 4 with Houston,Wichita, and Memphis.

This makes me happy. He was one I really wanted. Chad said 247 is going to do an updated ranking on him but it sounds like he took huge leaps his senior season. Some calling him the best player in the state, a late bloomer, and oozing with potential. Love that shit. Nice get!

I doubt we will ever be the bottom of the league. But even with Jarron back we need I'd expect us to be more in the 5th-6th range (without Jarron I think we will be 7th-9th in the league). If Brannen can get us into the top 4 even with Jarron back it will be a big accomplishment.
