ThreeLions Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 Jackson Davis received a scholarship offer from Mississippi State yesterday. Davis also has offers from Alabama, Boston College, Butler, Central Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Oklahoma State and Vanderbilt since re-opening his recruitment last month. I understand that a few other schools, including Louisville, are also looking at him but have not offered yet. I get the feeling that Rice are going to struggle to hold on to him.

NKY Bandit Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I haven't spoken with Jackson in years....is he leaning toward going to a bigger school where he may have to wait his turn or does he expect to get minutes right away? That could impact his final decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThreeLions Posted March 11, 2014 Author Share Posted March 11, 2014 Good point, but either way I feel he won't be gracing a Rice jersey next season. Too many higher options for him now. DAVE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JokersWild24 Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 ...which Mentch predicted when the kid committed. Good call Mentch. Does anyone have any updates on Davis' recruitment? It would appear that his interest from some bigger schools are heating up. Places like Rice can offer lots academically, but so can Vanderbilt.

Wu-Tang Stan Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 He's a big time player, that's for sure. Regardless of Lexington Catholic's size, he pulled down 31 rebounds against them. Anyone who can get 31 rebounds vs LexCath is worthy of a high D1 offer. I personally hope Calipari finds a reason to offer him. But right now I personally see Davis going to a mid-level SEC school.

So you are saying he may go to Kentucky, a mid-level SEC school. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Fundamental Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 As much as I love to see kids from Kentucky go to UK, I just don't think this is going to happen. With Towns coming in, Dakari likely to come back, and Willis, Lee, maybe Poytress, I just don't see a spot for him. As for saying Kentucky is a mid level SEC school.... This isn't even the case in a down year. Earned the 2 seed with a shot to win the SEC championship. Love for the haters :clap: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cellking Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Easy to kick Uk when they have a down season. I would love to see Davis at Uk. #1 when he put's the jersey on it would mean something and #2 he would stay 4 years. Go Cats!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wu-Tang Stan Posted March 17, 2014 Share Posted March 17, 2014 Franklin Flyer, It seems that you may have an unpopular idea of what "mid-level" means. So in that case, sure. Anyway, best of luck to Davis and his recruitment. We should be happy for him wherever he goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
