He is the fourth BYU player to enter the portal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">The 6-foot-6 wing started all 32 games he played for BYU, averaging 8.5 points on 39.5% shooting from the field and 32% from three. Davis transferred to BYU after two season at Southern Illinois. BYU\u2019s staff hoped he would turn into a Three-and-D player on the wing next to AJ Dybantsa and Richie Saunders, but Davis\u2019 shooting was never consistent enough to have the impact BYU had hoped for BYU. Davis had his moments and showed flashes where he was a difference maker on the offensive end. Some of his highlights included a late season surge that included 15+ point performances in wins over Texas Tech and Iowa State.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Ultimately, Davis wasn\u2019t consistent enough and shot just 27% from three in Big 12 play. With Davis gone, BYU must replace all three starting wings from this season\u2019s team and all five starters. 5-Star Bruce Branch and 4-Star Dean Rueckert join the team, and BYU will add other players from the transfer portal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Sources tell me BYU is the favorite to land Collin Chandler.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"BYU starting forward Kennard Davis announced that he is entering the transfer portal.
