Agreed, on multiple fronts. Besides the obvious benefit of adding another ballhandler with elite speed to push the pace during the conference slate, I'll take any edge in landing Davis we can get.
On the twittersphere looks like he made a decision to play basketball in college. This was his mixtape just released this week

Maybe it's just be and I love comparing current high school players to current college players but he has a lot of Ski in him.

Ski was probably the better scorer at that age, but Conway's athleticism is superior. Would love to see Conway matched up against Parker Jackson Cartwright down the line.
And that's what's going to put him at a mid-major or Ivy.

It's discouraging but his athleticism makes up for a lot. Hopefully he's got another growth spurt left. Could be a fine back up to Collier

I would love to see him here as a 10 minute per game, high-energy, speed guy to change the tempo and create mismatches. Think he'd have to be here on a football scholarship though.
Maybe not if you believe the Indiana offer.
Either way he is going to play at a level above mid-major.
That offer was a few years ago. I'm not 100% certain it's a committable offer right now.
Good point but they are after Davis so maybe.....
Also I don't subscribe to any service and only have ESPN and they have him as the 15th best PG in this class....ahead of some guys that went to UCLA and UCONN. Obviously you cannot just go by some ESPN rankings but it looks as though he is well thought of as a prospect.

If Collier is 6'3 or 6'4 it would be easier to take him than if Collier is only 6'1. Don't think Tad is too big on having a lot of smaller guards

Watched the Colorado All-Star game and I have to agree. A lot would need to improve with his game and/or size soon to get a high-major bball schollie. Still hoping for him to come on football's dime.
The staff will be monitoring him this year.
That'd be a damn good fit for him.

Jason Straight had a nice career there as a sub-6 foot guard. Beat Gonzaga in the tournament his freshman year.
According to the Twitter world he has been visited recently by coaches from Colorado, Arizona, and Arkansas.
All three schools are also recruiting Davis so......

If CU offers, it says a lot about where they stand with the higher 15 prospects they've got on their board.

This is what I've been in fear of.

Yeah, that is what I am expecting, honestly.
Excellent choice. We all love football, but the sport of basketball requires the whole package of strength, athleticism, and skill. Couple that with each player ability to influence any one game (whereas FB only the QB can really change the game), and basketball is the perfect sport for a man of Conway's size.
The higher 15 are not always truly higher. Conway has a pretty good upside here and he could end up higher than a lot of those kids. Or not. Plus, wouldn't hurt us for his buddy one class below.
Interesting how things change over almost a year. Why is everyone so hesitant on him right now?
His stocked dropped a lot during summer league last year, iirc.
Also, the caliber of player that goose would call a "realistic" target changed.
