    Mean Green Basketball Signs Kendrick Davis

    DENTON (6/7/04) – The North Texas men’s basketball team issued its final scholarship for the season as head coach Johnny Jones signed Houston, Tex., native and Univ. of Arkansas transfer Kendrick Davis.

    Out of Clements High School in Sugar Land , Tex. , Davis originally signed with Arkansas and spent his freshman and sophomore seasons playing for the Razorbacks. The 6-4, 181-pound guard will have to sit out the 2004-05 season due to NCAA transferring rules, but will have two years of eligibility remaining with the Mean Green.

    “We’re excited about the addition of Kendrick Davis to our basketball program,” said Jones. “He is an exceptional player and this will give us a head start on recruiting for our 2005 class. After visiting with Kendrick and his family, I feel that he will be a great fit for UNT and UNT will be a great fit for him and as well.”

    After an exceptional freshman season, Davis came back to average 5.4 points and 1.2 rebounds per game in 12.7 minutes per contest as a sophomore. He shot .341 from the field, .262 from the three-point line and ranked second on the team in free-throw percentage at .895 (34-38).

    Davis scored a season-high 19 points twice, against Jacksonville and South Carolina , and posted a season-high four assists in two games as well. He put up his best single-game numbers in the outing against Jacksonville , recording four assists, four rebounds and one block to go along with his 19 points. He reached double figures in the scoring column six times, including a 10-point effort in 12 minutes against nationally-ranked Mississippi State .

    The left-handed shooting guard made an immediate impact on the Arkansas team his freshman season, averaging the third most points on the team with 10.3 points per game. He also averaged two rebounds and 1.4 assists per game while shooting 37.9 percent from the field, .339 from beyond the arc and a team-best 79.1 percent at the free throw line. Davis began his career with a 13-point effort in the season-opener against Jackson State and the next game scored 23 points against Oral Roberts to become the first UA newcomer to score game highs in his first two outings since 1996.

    Some of Davis ’ best games during his freshman campaign came against nationally-ranked competition. He hit his biggest shot of the season against then-No. 20 Mississippi State as he made a driving layup with 25 seconds remaining in the game that gave the Razorbacks a 53-51 victory. Davis scored 14 points and added four rebounds, three assists and two steals against then-No. 20 Illinois . He made three of five three-pointers and scored a team-high 13 points against No. 4 Alabama on Jan. 8 and scored 15 points (all in the second half) and had four rebounds against No. 20 Georgia on Jan. 18.

    Davis led the team in scoring during 2002-03 eight times, scored in double figures 18 times, had a pair of 20-point performances and led the team in assists five times.

    At Clements High School , Davis earned all-state, all-city and all-district recognition and was named District 20-5A MVP after averaging 30 points, 5.4 assists and 4.6 rebounds as senior. The high-school standout led Clements to the district championship and a 22-11 record under head coach Ralph Farley. He had games of 46, 45 and 41 points during his senior season. Davis ended his high school career as Clements’ all-time leader in points scored (1,563) and three-point field goals made (241).

    As a junior, Davis averaged 19.5 points and 3.6 assists on a 25-10 team. He averaged 6.6 points and 5.0 assists as a sophomore on a 26-9 club, and 7.0 points and 4.0 assists as a freshman on a 25-8 squad.

    Dr. Irma Caton, retired professor in the Kinesiology department, passed away Monday morning after a year long illness. I don't know if anyone that posts on this site knew her, but she was an outstanding woman and a lifelong friend of my family. She was also a season ticket holder for over 30 years.

    Atkinson Fires 66 To Lead The Texas Amateur After The First Round

    THE WOODLANDS, Tex. - North Texas golfer Zach Atkinson fired an opening round of 66 to take a two-shot lead in the Texas Amateur at The Club at Carlton Woods. Atkinson shot a bogey free round six-under par and set a competitive course record on his way to the first round lead.

    Atkinson started the round strong with a three-under 33 on the front nine. He continued with his strong play as he moved to five-under par with birdies on the 10th and 11th holes. Atkinson sank his final birdie on the 15th hole to move to six-under par as he went onto close out the round at six-under par.

    Atkinson, who finished his career at North Texas at the NCAA Central Regional, is looking to win the Texas Amateur after placing second last year at the Dallas Athletic Club in the event. Atkinson will also compete in the Texas State Open later this season where last year he was the low amateur in the field.

    There was also an article in this mornings DMN, which is a paper going downhill fast.

    I think there are many pro basketball players that could start practicing to play football, soccer, track and field, etc... and eventually become some of the best players in those sports. Just think having Vince Carter high jumping, Kevin Garnett a goalie in soccer, or Dirk as a tight end.

    Kind of like Michael Jordan playing baseball or golf? Obviously, I disagree that they would excel at other sports, but they are great athletes.
