SMU guard Kendric Davis will transfer to Memphis next season, he announced on Friday night. The reigning AAC Player of the Year averaged 19.4 points, 4.4 assists and 3.8 rebounds a contest in 2021-22 while leading the Mustangs to the second round of the NIT.
Davis ranked as The Athletic’s No. 3 transfer available in college basketball.
“It came down to Memphis, Texas Tech, TCU Kansas and Houston, and I can tell you that there were definitely some sleepless nights because I had some really great options,” he told Sports Illustrated. “Coaches were really making great pitches and I was being pulled in a lot of different ways. For me, though, it was all about the fit. I wanted to go somewhere that I could showcase my game, but also be on the big stage.”
