Davis is the pg. Penny is the Man.

Woo-Hoo! That’s one starter. Four to go. We need you LQ, to round out a monster back court!

Wow!

Penny is about to reload

so Ja, Desmond and the Grizz played a huge factor

Kendrick and Lester would be a hell of a backcourt.

He’s the best player in the portal.

Apparently Shawn Forrest is a big reason why we got Kendric and the other guy from GA southern. and his time at WKY is probably why we are in on the 7-5 dude too. Props to Shawn!

Shawn Forrest joined head coach Penny Hardaway's staff as Assistant to the Head Coach prior to the 2021-22 season. A 25-year veteran of college basketball, Forrest most recently was an assistant coach at Georgia Southern during the 2020-21 campaign.

Before coming to Statesboro, Forrest spent three seasons (2016-19) at SMU, where he helped the Mustangs to a 30-5 record in 2016-17. SMU went 18-0 at home that season, won The American regular-season and tournament titles and advanced to the NCAA Tournament. SMU was ranked in the Associated Press Top-25 for the last six weeks of the season and finished 11th in the poll. Forrest was also instrumental in the development of three NBA draft picks during his tenure at SMU, Semi Ojeleye, Sterling Brown and Shake Milton.

Prior to that, Forrest spent three seasons at Western Kentucky (2013-16), helping the Hilltoppers to consecutive 20-win seasons, and he mentored NBA draft picks Elfrid Payton and Shawn Long at Louisiana in 2012-13. He helped North Texas to four consecutive 20-plus win seasons (2008-12) and coached NBA Draft selection Tony Mitchell. The Mean Green won the 2010 Sun Belt Tournament, earning the league’s bid to the NCAA Tournament. Forrest began his career as a graduate assistant at Troy (1998-2001) and spent six seasons at Arkansas State (2002-08), where he played a part in recruiting multiple top-100 classes.

Forrest is the all-time leading NCAA Division I scorer at Arkansas-Pine Bluff, where he received his bachelor's degree in 1998. He and his wife, Renea, have three daughters, Abri, Aaliyah and Alyssa.

Interesting. Davis and Murphy are both PGs. I’m sure they can coexist, although I’m not crazy about 20% from 3. He must be spectacular at everything else since he’s apparently not a shooter.

AWESOME NEWS!
Welcome Here Mr Davis! It will be soooooooooo nice having you on our side vs taking on the challenge of defending you ! Lol
