Milan senior point guard Latin Davis has already accomplished numerous accolades throughout his high school playing career. Such as recognized for the Class B all-state team, and leading his Big Reds to the Class B crown as a junior. The latest achievements for Davis was his decision on where he will play next year in college, the Youngstown State Penguins of the Horizon League.
“It feels good,” Davis had to say, “I feel great about my decision.”
The Penguins currently have four players from the greater Detroit area on their roster for the upcoming season. Perhaps one reason for Youngstown State connection to the region is assistant coach Steve Hall. Hall, who attended and played for Cass Tech in high school, guided Detroit Rogers Academy to three straight MHSAA Class D titles (2003-2005), before resurrecting the ailing Northwestern program to their first city league title since 1978 in 2008.
In addition to Coach Hall as Davis’ main recruiter, Latin also felt a connection to the campus as well. He committed while on an official visit, and says he enjoyed the atmosphere, and hanging out with his soon to be teammates. Another aspect of the Penguin program Latin appreciated was the educational opportunities Youngstown State provides. Basketball won’t last forever according to Latin, and placed a heavy emphasis on schooling during the recruiting process.
