Davis is a player that first-year Iowa head men’s basketball coach Ben McCollum knows well. McCollum saw Davis and the Salukis twice last season.
Drake won both contests, but Davis poured in 22 points on an 8-for-13 shooting performance in the two teams’ first meeting on Feb. 1. Davis knocked down 4-of-6 from beyond the arc in that first meeting.
Then, Davis scored 10 points on 3-of-8 shooting in the second meeting between the two squads last season on March 7 in the Missouri Valley Conference Tournament.
Davis played in 64 games and started 41 over his two seasons with the Salukis. The St. Louis, Mo., native is ranked as a four-star transfer portal prospect per both 247Sports and On3. 247Sports ranks Davis as the nation’s No. 54 transfer and as the No. 11 small forward in the transfer portal.
