Nice pick-up. Many sites list him as 6-8. Some have him at 6-9. Had offers from Charleston, Lipscomb, Lehigh, Western Carolina, Presbyterian, and Columbia.
One NC analyist had this to say: "Big time get for Nathan Davis. All conference caliber player. Stretches the floor as well as any forward in NC 2019 class. Reminds me of Zach Thomas."

A taller version of Zach Thomas would be OK.

Maybe with him and Timmerman the calls for a big will become cries of we need a point guard.
Here is his tweet with the announcement.

Actually that is the tweet quoted above, but it gets you there.

The offer from Western Carolina means Coach Davis prevailed over his fellow Bucknell assistant in the Flannery era, Mark Prosser.

Nice ranking. For comparison, Meeks ended up #15 in NC after his senior year and Robertson was #55.
Btw, a reliable source reports that Meeks was looking very good in the practices leading up to the European trip.

Can pick out Jake and the coaching staff. Any ideas who the others in the picture are?

The entire team, plus next year's incoming freshmen, were at the women's volleyball games over the weekend. You can see the whole team, with the exception of O'Reilly I believe, in this picture:

O'Reilly, whose girl friend is on the team, was also in attendance but apparently missed out on the picture.

Yes, "rather positive" to say the least. It has been hard to find stats on him. Seeing that he hit 48% on threes is so good it's almost hard to believe. And developing his ability to attack the rim is a very big positive as well.
On another note, his soph brother looks like a strong prospect - #10 in NC in one ranking. I wonder if the Bison are already recruiting him.

One slight correction. He calls Bucknell getting him "a MONSTER Steal" . . . not just a regular uncapitalized one.
Let's hope he's right.
