His first year was the 23-24 season so he should have one year left under the new 5 years of eligibility rule.

While I agree that this will be good for long term growth, this was the year for us to utilize our returnees’ experience and then lean on the young/talented depth to run teams out of the gym. Not necessarily grow them for the future.
With how many moves that happen each year, “long term growth” is hard to wrangle. Who will even be here next year? Unless of course long term means “later in the season” then yeah, I agree it’s a benefit but hopefully not at the expense of a worse tourney resume.
Either way, this sucks but let’s hope for the best for Jake and that he can play again this year!
Gonna be a glass half full kind of guy here, this sucks but with Lincoln Williams at least back and Mirk making strides to being back, plus with how our freshman have played and will continue to grow… I’m optimistic the season can still be elite.
I hope Jake Davis can be involved while sidelined and be a Ty Rogers sort of mentor and vet to keep the chemistry high until he can return. Good news for me is that the injury isn’t like an ACL tear, or on his left arm, so when he does come back he can have comfort while shooting and not feel hesitant.
Praying there are more Jake Davis Corner 3’s in SFC

Pretty sure he's got another year if he chooses to use it.
Guessing it involved an ac joint with distal fracture of the clavicle, and potentially or even likely something more or worse.
Better than it happening in December….
Injury bug infestation!!
