Article about Mike Davis

Here's a nice story about Mike Davis of the Illini. The freshman seems determined to work hard in the off-season to try to earn the 4 spot next season. Weber points out that Davis always played next to the basket in high school, so he has to learn how to play from the outside in the motion offense. Davis is still growing and should put on more muscle in the next year.

It's Official, Mike Davis commits to Illini

The Daily Herald has now confirmed that Mike Davis has commited to the Illini for this fall. The Chicago Tribune agrees. He apparently decided during a visit to the campus this past weekend and will start school this fall. It is possible he will play for the Illini this coming season, and Illini fans are already getting more excited about him, since he is a shooter, he is athletic, and plays big. He is apparently now 200 pounds and should be able to gain more weight. Davis was originally planning to attend a prep school but his play really improved during the AAU season. Some major programs like Clemson and Florida were after him, so nice job Coach Weber!
