Ex-Washington commit Davis still looking around

Four-star point guard Daejon Davis (Seattle, WA/Garfield) decided to end the recruiting process early last summer by committing to Washington. Last month, he came to the conclusion that he may have rushed that decision and wants to open back up to explore new options.

Since opening up, the class of 2017 prospect has heard from Oregon, Gonzaga, Arizona, Baylor, Kansas, UCLA, California, Washington State, and Oregon State.

IN HIS OWN WORDS: Davis explains his decision to de-commit from Washington and what stands out about a few of the schools recruiting him.

“I’m still considering (Washington). I just didn’t know if it was what I wanted to do any more. I want to see what else is out there.”

Oregon: “They have been really successful during their run with their coaching staff now. They have NBA players. They have been doing a good job with their players and winning at a high level. Everybody is getting a piece of the cookie.”

Gonzaga: “They are winners too. They also have a lot of guys that have made the NBA.”

Arizona: “They have a lot of pros. They have been winning a lot too. They talk to me about where they see me playing and how I would fit in there.”

WHAT’S NEXT? Davis said he wants to really take his time with the recruiting process this time around. He plans to look into all the schools thoroughly and will his take as many visits as he needs before making a commitment to a school.

RIVALS’ REACTION: Oregon certainly has caught his attention with its recent success under Dana Altman. Washington has generally done a pretty good job under Lorenzo Romar of keeping local kids home, so it could end up being a battle between the two Pac-12 rivals.
