IU earned a commitment from four-star power forward De’Ron Davis on Thursday evening. Davis, a 6-foot-10, 235-pound senior in high school, also signed his National Letter of Intent Thursday.
The Aurora, Colorado, native is ranked as the No. 38 prospect in the 2016 recruiting class, according to 247Sports’ composite rankings. He chose IU instead of Mississippi State.
“First off, Tom Crean has been there since my eighth-grade year so I was able to build a good connection with him,” Davis said at his announcement. “When I took my visit, just the family atmosphere I’ve seen at Indiana and how they compete every day in practice and get each other better.”
Davis is the third player to commit to IU’s 2016 recruiting class, as he joins Crown Point, Indiana, shooting guard Grant Gelon and Huntington Prep, West Virginia, combo guard Curtis Jones.
