Wilson's Davis to play hoops at Johnson C. Smith University

FLORENCE, South Carolina -- Alandre Davis has improved as a player during his last three seasons on the Wilson basketball team. Now, Davis hopes to continue that in college as he signed a letter of intent to play at Johnson C. Smith, a Division II school in Charlotte, N.C.

“I haven’t nearly reached my potential yet and I feel like if I keep working hard then the possibilities are endless for me,” Davis said.

The 6-foot-7 Davis also considered Francis Marion and USC Aiken before settling on Johnson C. Smith. The Golden Bulls play in the CIAA and went 12-15 this season. Davis will probably play power forward in college.

Davis came off this bench as a sophomore and junior before cracking the starting lineup this year. He averaged 11.9 pts, 9.4 rebounds and 2.9 blocks this year and selected to play in the North-South All-Star game.

“He has had continuous improvement during his last three years and he was better at the end of the season than he was at the beginning,” said former Wilson coach DeAndre Scott, who coached Davis the last three years. “At the end of the year, he was playing great ball and really think his best basketball is in front of him.
