In nearly three years under Head Coach Steve McClain, the Flames have seen several players transfer out of the program. For the first time, UIC is delving into the transfer market to take in players. Ar’Mond Davis, a senior wing at Alabama, is leaving as a grad transfer and UIC offered him yesterday.
Davis suffered a knee injury this past season, forcing him to miss the entire year and redshirt. He appeared in 32 games in 2016-2017, averaging 6.0 points in just 13.8 minutes. His playing time fluctuated throughout the season, yet he still managed to score in double-figures in 10 out of 32 games.
Originally from Tacoma, Washington, Davis was a highly-touted junior college wing, ranking in the top ten in 2016 before landing at Alabama. Since announcing his intentions to transfer, Davis has picked up offers from Horizon League foes Northern Kentucky and Oakland in addition to UC Santa Barbara.
UIC has two openings and are casting a wide net with offers to the following players:
Chase Adams from Orr High School in Chicago, IL
Tyler Cheese from Florida Southwestern State College
Tyreek Scott-Grayson from State Fair Community College
Kawanise Wilkins from Barton Community College
David Wingett from Bull City Preparatory Academy
UIC already has commitments from big men Isaac Bassey and Brandon John in the 2018 class.
