Cortez Davis: Smooth Offensive Threat

Cortez Davis, a long 6-7, 190 pound small forward from Bridgton Academy in Maine, may or may not return to Whit Lesure's basketball program next year. Davis is a legimate 12th grader and could come back for a post grad year if he wishes.

Two years ago he played at Friendly H.S. in Ft. Washington, Md. But he may end up at Hargrave Military Academy in Virginia.

Davis was brilliant this past weekend at the TOC in North Carolina. He possesses smooth offensive moves and has no fear in pressing his thin frame under stress when he goes against big forwards. The opportunities we had to watch Davis gave us the impression he is and should be looked at by high division one schools.

Davis, who needs to lift his SAT score, told us his list includes Miami of Florida, Florida State, Kentucky, Maryland, Georgia Tech, and Tennessee. He is still wide open.

Davis, who was one of the better sleepers to emerge from the adidas ABCD Camp last July, is a proficient slasher who often presents matchup problems for opponents due to his height and good quickness.
