2016 CG Davion Mintz (Signed)

Mac has put together an amazing roster of players who represent the school well. We're adding another next year:

“Davion takes his grades as serious as he does basketball,” Lewis said about his 4.0-plus student-athlete.
“He really cares. He’s the guy on campus that at the start of the year, he talks in front of the whole school about what it means to be a Viking. He’s just a leader. You can throw off the basketball stuff, he’s going to be a successful person outside of that.”

But then there's the basketball part of the equation:

Lewis said that passion shines through in Mintz in everything from conditioning sessions to the biggest moments of the biggest games.
“He’s always doing something to get better – always,” Lewis said. “I’ve had talented players; everybody’s had talented players, but maybe they didn’t have that desire.”
Lewis added, however, that Mintz’s tenacity shouldn’t overshadow his prodigious talent.
“He’s a freak athlete,” Lewis said, likely getting no argument from anyone who saw Mintz soar for a dunk Saturday in his masterful 10-point second quarter. “… His athleticism is off the charts for a 6-4 point guard.”

Damn, that kind is already pretty ripped. Seriously though, he has to be watching how coach allows Watson ditect this team and just drool. If he has Watson's vision and motor, it's going to be a fun three or four years with him at the helm (depending on whether he redshirts first year or backs up Mo).

Based on what I've seen this year, he might well have the chance to backup Mo unless Marcus plays the point when Mo sits.

I agree. All I meant is whether he chooses to play a little behind Mo next year, who is certain to go 30+ per game next year or sit a year and have four to play.

Imo, Mo would be a better player at 30 mpg versus the 38 he is playing now. I hope Davion can be the guy to to give us a solid 10 mpg at PG next year. We obviously have no one to do it this year.

His trainer is familiar with the Jays. Small world sometimes.

I know Mintz wasn't highly recruited but he really excites me. Seems like someone who is dedicated and excited about being a Jay. I could see two bigger guards like he and Harrell teaming up well together.
