Davis leaves Cowboy basketball program
I'd be pulling your chain if I said that I didn't see this coming, but sophomore A.J. Davis has left the Cowboy basketball team.
Wyoming head coach Heath Schroyer announced the move on Friday in a short press release -- they are always short when a player leaves a program. The release stated that Davis left the program for personal reasons.
“We wish A.J. all the best in the future,” said Schroyer.
The quote of course is what all coaches say in this type of release ... just fill in the blank with the name.
That's fine. What else is the coach supposed to say?
Davis, a sophomore from Columbus, Ohio, had played in all 22 games this season. He was averaging 10.0 points, 2.5 rebounds, 1.7 steals and 0.7 assists per game.
In Mountain West Conference games, Davis was averaging 4.4 points, 1.4 rebounds, 0.9 steals and 0.4 assists.
My money is on the latter of his season stats as to the reason for Davis' departure.
On Wednesday against UNLV, Davis stole the opening tip and took it in for a layup. As it turned out, they were his last points as a Cowboy, as he was fouled and missed the free throw, then missed his only other shot in the game. He played eight minutes and stayed on the bench after his third straight turnover and fourth in the game.
In the release, it was stated that Schroyer will not have any further comment.
As will I (not have any further comment).
