“I decided I want to go play for my dad,” the younger Davis said via Fox 26. That was the reason I got out of Houston. We had a long talk about it. I’m excited. I’m ready to work with him, work for him. I feel like its going to be a great year.
A three-star recruit by ESPN, Davis committed to Houston back in November. He initially chose Houston over Nevada, Stephen F. Austin, UTEP, Colorado State and Little Rock.
After de-committing from Houston, the elder Davis says that Auburn, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Memphis and Southern Methodist University all wanted him to visit.
The freshman will join a talented Tigers team that has won three of the last four SWAC Tournaments and won its first NCAA Tournament game this year. He will have to compete for time in a backcourt that features high-volume scorer Trae Jefferson, who scored better than 23 points a game in 27 appearances, including 25 points in the win against North Carolina Central.
