Pretty impressive!

If Davis keeps this up we might need to start thinking about getting a big 3 sticker for the front of the suites at Moody.

Find another transfer. But, yeah, like Nic he’s nearly irreplaceable

Jank has 2 guys coming in next year to hopefully compete for the position (assuming Kendric will not use his final year of eligibility?). Appears Zhuric Phelps is more highly thought of than Jalen Smith but both guys have height so would be nice if either turns out to be anywhere near the player Nic and Kendric were for us
