Certainly!
On Tuesday, Johnell Davis, hailed as college basketball’s top transfer guard, made the decision to join Coach John Calipari’s squad at Arkansas. The news was initially brought to light by seasoned basketball analyst Jeff Goodman. Davis had reportedly visited Fayetteville officially over the past weekend.
Standing at 6 feet 4 inches and weighing 203 pounds, Davis made quite a mark during his time at Florida Atlantic, where he was named co-American Athletic Conference Player of the Year. His stats speak volumes: an average of 18.2 points, 6.3 rebounds, and 2.9 assists per game, with an impressive shooting record of 48.3% from the field and 41.4% from downtown.
With On3.com ranking him as the top prospect in the NCAA transfer portal, Davis’s talent is undeniable. His contributions were instrumental in guiding the Owls to the 2023 Final Four, where he maintained solid numbers across the board.
Davis’s skill set extends beyond scoring, boasting a career free-throw percentage of 84.5% and a knack for defensive play showcased by his 155 steals over his four seasons at FAU.
Hailing from Gary, Indiana, Davis has his sights set on the 2024 NBA Draft, although he retains the option to withdraw until May 29 and retain his college eligibility.
His commitment marks the sixth addition to Coach Calipari’s roster since taking the reins at Arkansas on April 10th.
