Bloomington South junior Darwin Davis ended the college recruitment process early, giving a verbal commitment tonight to Chris Mack‘s Xavier program.
“After talking with my family, I felt 100 percent sure that was the place,” Davis told HoosierHillsHoops.com after just announcing his decision. “I didn’t have a single reason why I wouldn’t go to Xavier.”
The 6-foot point guard also had scholarship offers from Purdue and Ohio, and was receiving serious interest from Butler, Illinois and Ohio State.
“Now that I’ve made my decision it’s about me getting better and stronger and preparing myself for the college level,” he added. “Coach Mack and I made a good relationship and had some good conversations about what I could bring to the table if I came. I’m definitely excited.”
Davis is the third player from the Panther’s current roster to announce their college intentions. Matt Carlino and Erik Fromm, both seniors-to-be, will attend Indiana and Butler, respectively.
“I think (already having three commitments) says we have a lot of talent,” he said. “We’re looking forward to playing with each another, and I think we’ll have another good group (next season).”
