Again, I would not take it seriously. It also states he has no interest in Rice, a school he has said publicly he would like to visit (in addition to Davidson). Richmond also offered recently and is listed as no interest. Looking at the schools it says he is interested in, they were the earliest to offer him (and lesser basketball schools), so it looks like when the person at rivals updated his page, they did not update each school with an accompanying interest level. Outside of the big time (top 50ish) prospects these sites are not run that meticulously, and sites like Scout which are run much better still are far from perfect and don't fully represent prospect interest levels properly, and base them solely off of what the kids and their coaches say publicly.

However, a prospect stating the schools he's interested in an article and not listing Davidson I would see as a bad sign, like with Tomas Muprhy.

Yeah, Rivals, Scout, and ESPN are not typically very useful or reliable when it comes to information about Davidson recruiting. Verbal Commits (which relies heavily on various Tweets) is generally much more accurate.

Steph in a Davidson jersey, smack on ESPN's main page.

How much do you suppose that's worth in free advertising / recruiting?

That tells me all I need to know about recruiting reports, relying on tweets is the most accurate source of information.

Next thing you will tell me is that Donald Trump will be our next president.....

It's more that prospects and coaches used to tell reporters who they were interested, which fueled those sites. Now they have an avenue to just report it themselves.

Davidson is apparently involved with some really good guards to add alongside Kellan Grady.

Here are some highlights of Luke Frampton and Trey Wertz (who recently got offer from LaSalle and Clemson to go along with offers from Rice and Richmond). I don't have any inside information regarding their recruitment status with Davidson, but they've been mentioned on this thread before.

Hoopseen updated their 2017 rankings and expanded the list from 50 to 125: http://www.hoopseen.com/rankings/national/2017

Kellan Grady is now listed at 37 (previously listed in the mid-40s), while Brad Davison is ranked 107 and Kyle Young (who we haven't heard from in awhile, at least publicly) comes in at 125.

Random thought, we will lose six after 2017-18 season. Magarity, Aldridge, Ekwu, Watson, Mickelson and Reigel.
