Muncie Central’s Jeremiah Davis, one of the state’s top prospects in a loaded junior class, has some new college options on his radar.
UNLV has offered a scholarship to the 6-3 Davis, who is ranked as the No. 40 player nationally in the 2011 class, and Arizona has shown recent interest, he said. Davis also claims offers from Ball State, Cincinnati, Dayton, DePaul, Indiana, Miami (Fla.), Michigan State, Ohio State, Purdue, Tennessee and Xavier.
It’s a long list. Davis said he doesn’t plan on paring it down until he makes a final decision.
“I’m still wide open,” he said. “When the stars align I’ll make a decision. But I’m not sure when that will be.”
Like his team, Davis’ season got off to a bit of a rocky start. He was suspended for one game in early December after actions he displayed in a 68-64 loss to Monroe Central on Dec. 1.
But Davis has picked it up recently and his team took a six-game winning streak into a Feb. 25 game at Ben Davis, a 70-53 loss. Davis scored 18 points in the first half, but was held to just two in the second as the Giants pulled away for their sixth straight win.
Muncie Central (10-10) opens play in Sectional 8 at New Castle on Wednesday against Greenfield-Central (5-15).
“I think my year has gone pretty well,” Davis said. “I’m just trying to go with the flow and listen to the coaches, things like that.”
