He knows what Zion is going through; Larry Davis came home before it was too late

Larry Davis can relate to the scrutiny that Zion Williamson, Seventh Woods and P.J. Dozier have faced in recent years.

Davis was a high-profile high school basketball recruit when he was coming out of Denmark-Olar High School, where he averaged 44 points per game and was Mr. Basketball during his senior season in 1990-91. Like Woods, Williamson and Dozier, he felt the tug and pressure to play college basketball in the Palmetto State.

Davis chose North Carolina and playing for Hall of Fame coach Dean Smith over playing for the Gamecocks. He played two seasons for the Tar Heels and was part of UNC’s 1993 national title team.
