Jamichael Davis arrived on campus on Monday and set to join the Rutgers men’s basketball 2023-24 team. With the recent departures of guards Cam Spencer and Paul Mulcahy, reinforcements such as Davis are very much needed.
The three-star recruit committed to the Scarlet Knights in December over VCU, Auburn, Wichita State, and UAB. As a junior at McEachern High School (Powder Springs, Ga.), the 6-foot-2, 165-pound point guard averaged 22 points, 13.1 rebounds, and 4.1 assists per game.
The Georgia native is excellent on the perimeter while also possessing speed and agility to drive past defenders. The 2023 prospect plays with explosiveness and terrific vision. He is a great competitor who competes on the defensive end. Also, Davis plays intense defense and is an excellent rebounder for a point guard.

Davis can provide instant offense, creating shots and getting his teammates involved. Rutgers struggled on offense in 2022-23, an aspect the Scarlet Knights would like to improve this upcoming season. Rutgers head coach Steve Pikiell loves the energy, intensity, and athleticism Davis brings to the team.Â
The new Scarlet Knight is an under-the-radar recruit, battling some injuries the past two summers. He has a high basketball IQ and plays unselfish basketball. According to 247Sports, Davis has a player rating of 87 and is the No. 215 ranked prospect in the class of 2023.
