Josh Davis to Santa Barbara

Davis was also being recruited by California, Oregon, Texas-El Paso and Santa Clara. He took an official visit to UC Santa Barbara September 14-16 and was sold on the program. He was also impressed with the community, and academics. Coach Williams' straight-forward, honest approach to recruiting was also a factor.

The versatile star emerged on the scene at the Mats Madness Tournament in Fresno where, as a member of SSA, he almost single-handedly beat the Oakland Soldiers team in a semi-final game. He also impressed many a scout at the Pump West Coast All-Star Camp in July, being selected to the camp's elite All-Star team.

Josh was an All-City selection by the Sacramento Bee as a junior, averaging 17.5 points and eight rebounds per game.
