Davis said another major key to the Blue Raiders success this year will be 6’10’’ senior center
Brandon Walters, who he said has the talent level of one of the top-10 centers in all of college basketball.
One of the freshmen that Davis expects to make an immediate impact is Canadian Therren Shelton-Szmidt. The 6’5’’ guard from Mississauga, ON played at Hamilton Heights Academy (TN) alongside fellow Canadians Shai Alexander, who will play for Kentucky this year, as well as
Nickeil Alexander-Walker, who is expected to be a star for Virginia Tech.
Davis had high praise for Shelton-Szmidt.
“He could be the most talented freshman we’ve ever had here,” he said.
Wow.........that is a mighty big compliment considering Jones, Potts and Upshaw. Can't wait to see him play.
