If you are Rice, how would you react? Not sure I'd be ok with a kid saying he is reopening his recruitment but hasn't decommitted yet. I'm not criticizing Davis or his family but my point is if I'm at Rice I'd be tempted to say make a choice. Tough situation. He's had a great year.

The issue with Rice and the reason that Jackson Davis was probably wise to commit and NOT sign the Letter of Intent is that Owl Coach Ben Braun is more than likely finished in Houston. He has won about 34% of his games at Rice and is currently about that same percentage this season (7-19). Had Davis signed the LOI, he would be in a lame duck situation.

 

Jackson's father (former UK player, Johnathan Davis), has been through the process before and has played the situation correctly, in my opinion. Secure a very nice offer, but leave options open for any potential changes.

 

The major change is the Jackson has had a phenomenal senior season. He has worked very hard and made dramatic improvement to his game, thus, more interest from the quality institutions he desires to attend.

I agree with Randy Parker. I have seen all of the Mr Basketball finalists at least once and he is the best player in the state. No disrespect to Rice but he could get a better offer.

Stallings is watching Davis tonite.

This would be a great fit for him.

Vanderbilt has offered, per Evan Daniels.

Awesome. He is a great kid, and will do well wherever he goes.

Love to see him go to Butler

@SteveJones_CJ: UGA and Ga Tech offered Jackson Davis, but Rice (where he's softly committed), Butler and Bama were at his game too. He had 31 and 32.

@SteveJones_CJ: Correction: he had 32 and 31
