Victor Davis (6-5 F, Galesburg H.S.) - Illinois Wesleyan Class of 2014

In Galesburg standout Victor Davis, Ron Rose has landed that "scholarship caliber" player every Division III coach works very hard to find. Davis is the headliner in the incredibly talented IWU Class of 2014 and has a chance to be a star player for the Titans. City/Suburban Hoops Report calls Davis, "perhaps the premier Division III in-state recruit."

The 6-5 combo forward is a physical specimen, built like a Division I post player. As a senior he averaged 17.8 points and 12.7 rebounds, earning 3rd Team all-state honors on the IBCA 3A/4A team. He received interest from a number of D1 schools, but never received an offer. But Division 2 Quincy pursued him aggressively and did offer a scholarship.

Davis should present big matchup problems for opponents at the D3 level. If you put a bigger defender, he'll take you off the dribble...go with a smaller player and he'll post-up. On the other end of the floor, he is a relentless rebounder.

Davis has a very good chance to make an immediate impact at the varsity level for the Titans...even considering how loaded the Titans will be in 2010-11 and how many options they currently have at the 4. Victor Davis has a chance to be a special player at Illinois Wesleyan.
