Nah. Keep the hair. Last time we had a transfer like this cut the lettuce didn’t pan out to well for us. Keep the hair or you can’t come.

Actually Davis's game kind of reminds me of MM's. He's shorter and built a bit heavier, but he moves to get open in a similar fashion and he's always ready to pull the trigger coming off a quick screen. He has that super quick release while falling away and sticking his leg out at the same time. Also appears he doesnt venture into the paint very much. Different player for sure but some of his movements and mannerisms remind me of MM.

So weird to me the portal opens before the end of NCAA tournament.

It makes absolutely no sense to me. It'd be like opening the trading window and having all contract negotiations and free agency signing right before the playoffs. Just makes no sense to add this pure distraction as teams and players are getting ready to play the most important games of their seasons. And to require coaches of tourney teams to take time out of their schedule to worry about this is asinine. I mean what are they supposed to do, live text words of affection midgame? Ridiculous stuff

Jake Davis, Indy Cathedral kid, 6' 6" SG can really, really stroke it. Major range, gets it off quickly and can shoot off the move. Very impressive clip:

he's in the portal and has 3 years left. his shot translates

I’m all for that as I think MM was a decent player. The problem was the head on his shoulders thinking and wanting to be more than he was. The attitude in the locker room transitioned to his selfish play and attitude on the court, which spread to the team’s performance. If we can have a player like him with those talents be a team player, get him!

BUT KEEP THE HAIR! ;)
