Report: Delaware lands high-scoring transfer Davon Usher from MVSU

NEWARK, Delaware  --  After spending two seasons at Polk State College in Winter Haven, Florida, Baltimore native Davon Usher played at Mississippi Valley State during the 2012-13 season. Averaging 18.8 points and 6.1 rebounds per game last season, Usher was one of the best newcomers in the SWAC and earned second team All-SWAC honors.

Usher won’t be a Delta Devil next season however, as it was reported by Jeff Borzello of CBSSports.com that Usher is transferring to Delaware and will be eligible to play immediately.

That’s big news for the Blue Hens, who return guards Devon Saddler (19.9 ppg, 4.5 rpg) and Jarvis Threatt (13.0, 5.7) but have to account for the graduation of forward Jamelle Hagins (11.6, 10.7).

With Hagins, Saddler and Threatt leading the way last season Delaware posted a record of 19-14 (13-5 CAA), finishing in a tie for second place one game behind CAA regular season champion Northeastern. Delaware fell in the semifinals of the CAA tournament by one (58-57) to eventual champion James Madison.
