Norman North's Daniel Davis commits to Pennsylvania

The struggle and stress of the last two months for Norman North star Daniel Davis came to an end Sunday night.

The Timberwolves all-around talent announced he is committing to the University of Pennsylvania.

Davis was once a Stanford commit, having given his verbal to the Cardinal in December 2009. However, after a falling out with the coaching staff in which both parties decided to go their separate ways, Davis was back on the market in November.

A three-star prospect by Rivals.com as a linebacker, Davis was unable to find offers from some of the top schools. Not because of his lack of talent but because most schools did not have any offers to give out.

A positive, Davis said, to committing to Pennsylvania is Ivy League schools do not give out athletic scholarships. So if something happens at a bigger school where a signee drops out, Davis is able to transfer and not be penalized.

“I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again — I’ll do whatever is asked of me. I’m never going to stop working hard and giving everything I have,” Davis said.

Davis had given me every inclination in my interview with him last week that Penn was going to be his destination. You really cannot discount the fact that he is able to get on out if something happens at a major school.
