Tigers in 20: A Memphis Tigers Athletics podcast

Tiger fans were excited when AAC Player of the Year, Kendric Davis, entered the transfer portal and committed to play for Penny Hardaway and the Memphis Tigers. On Friday, May 20th Kendric withdrew his name from the NBA Draft and announced that he would be signing to play for Memphis for the 2022-23 season. Tiger fans are very aware of Kendric Davis and what he can do on the court. Kendric is one of the best tough shot makers in college basketball and immediately comes in as the best point guard Penny has had on his roster over the past four years.

In this episode we are joined by Kendric one day after he announced his intentions of signing with Memphis. Kendric expressed his excitement about playing for Penny and how Penny's game plan and schemes are what drew him to play for the Tigers. Kendric shares his story of growing up in Houston and how an AAU matchup with De'Aaron Fox was the start of building his confidence to become the player he is today.

Kendric shares what his goals and expectations are for his personal game and for the Memphis Tigers this year. Kendric was close to staying in the draft this year, but his decision to come to Memphis was spurred on by a desire to win at a much bigger level and solidify his draft stock for next year's draft. Kendric shares his philosophy on playing the point guard position and how his leadership skills and abilities have allowed him to be successful at every level he's played. He discusses how playing against Penny's defense over the past two years showed him how being under Penny's coaching can help him fully round out to be the best player he can possibly be.
