Keeping an eye on a few D-I transfers

It was reported earlier this week that freshman backup point guard Malcolm Walters will be leaving the University of Akron's men's basketball team after this semester. Walters is a native of Cleveland, Ohio. He played his high school basketball at St. Edward High School in Cleveland. During his senior year, he helped lead St. Edward to a Division I Ohio state championship.

Alderson Broaddus has not offered Walters to any one's knowledge here at BattlerBeat. But there is a connection from AB to St. Edward. Head coach Greg Zimmerman was once the head coach at St. Edward. Assistant coach Samario Clancy was also a former player at St. Edward. We post this as something to keep an eye on. We have not seen any mutual interest or any thing like that. His name was one of the D-I transfers that caught our eye as someone to keep an eye on.

Another D-1 player that has left his school is Jermaine Davis. He is a 6'9/280 pound post player from Garland Heights, Ohio. He was a redshirt freshman this past season for the Explorers. Davis led his high school basketball team to an Ohio state championship as a junior.

These are just players from D-I schools that are transferring. We are just posting these two names as players to keep an eye on. There have been no official offers from AB at this point.
