Growing up with a dad (Terry) who played 10 seasons in the NBA, you might expect that Ed Davis was pushed from the time he could hold a basketball. But his father let Ed's love of the game develop naturally before training him on the court, at the track, and in the weight room when he was a teenager. Ed also benefited from a mom who let him put basketball first, pickup games with the likes of Ben Wallace at Virginia Union, and the discipline and timekeeping he learned at a private military school.All these things helped Ed become a top-10 high school prospect and McDonald's High School All-American. His decision to play for Roy Williams at UNC was vindicated when the team won the national championship his freshman year. After his sophomore season, Ed declared for the 2010 NBA Draft and was picked 13th by the Toronto Raptors. In his 12-year career, he also played for the Grizzlies, Lakers, Jazz, Nets, and Cavaliers, and led the league in offensive rebounding rate one season.In this episode, Ed dishes on:·       Why he chose to fight for playing time at North Carolina over starting at other schools·       How breaking his wrist against Duke changed his pre-draft process·       Why the Transfer Portal, NIL, and mixtapes have changed high school and college basketball  ·       How guidance from Reggie Evans and DeMar DeRozan helped him navigate his rookie year·       Who was his worst coach in the NBA and how this contrasted with the leadership of Quin Snyder and Roy WilliamsKeep up with Ed on Twitter @eddavisXVII.

FAMU has to have an effective running game to win the SWAC. Their 2021 season was much more dominant and they had a really good running game. If they want that type of dominance back and a potential conference title, they'll need to bring the running game back as well. The spring session of the transfer portal is the most exciting to me. It's this session where coaches and players have a more informed view of their team. Andrew Body and Jada Byers sat out of their spring games and I support the decision. Body is still rehabbing from an injury, so it's easy to understand why he was held out. Byers was held out simply because of load management. Virginia Union didn't want their star RB having too many touches after totaling over 300 last year. This will benefit him and them. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…

Corey Fields Jr had a great spring game for South Carolina State.Jada Byers staying at Virginia Union is an understated big deal. Howard recruited Notre Dame's Dominick Campbell, and he could partially replace Elijah Hawkins and Steve Settle. Corey Fields Jr had a great spring game for South Carolina State. That is the type of performance he must carry over into the fall if the Bulldogs want to win the MEAC and compete with QBs like Davius Richard. Jada Byers staying at Virginia Union is an understated big deal. People don't think about it because Byers didn't have draft eligibility. The season he is coming off of, though, would result in the player going up a subdivision often. It should have shocked no one if Byers left the D2 ranks. Howard recruited Notre Dame's Dominick Campbell, and he could partially replace Elijah Hawkins and Steve Settle. He might not fully replace either of those players, but Campbell does have some traits that could fill voids left by both of those departing players. Follow & Subscribe on all Podcast platforms…
