In this article:
<p>Coming from Anne Arundel County, <strong>[player_tooltip player_id="904668" first="Elijah" last="Davis"]</strong> is a hidden gem within the state of Maryland. The class of 2021 point guard, who is now playing a key role for the Baltimore Panthers, had a unique path that has helped mold him into the player he is today. </p>
<p>Davis started his high school career at DeMatha, where he earned plaudits for being a pesky defender. He gained valuable experience learning from the great players and coaches within the Stags program but ultimately felt like something was missing. </p>
<p>"It was a good experience," Davis told Prep Hoops. "But I wasn’t the player I wanted to be. My confidence wasn’t there."</p>
<p>Davis ultimately decided to transfer to St. Frances. He was fortunate to learn from one of the best point guards to come through the Baltimore/DC area in recent memory, <a href="https://vcuathletics.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/adrian-baldwin-jr-/3646"><strong>Ace Baldwin</strong></a>. </p>
<p>"My playmaking and IQ are the most improved parts of my game," Davis told Prep Hoops. "I got to watch him [Ace] play. My reads are better. I’m becoming more of a point guard."</p>
<p>Based on his tidy performances with the Baltimore Panthers at The St. James NIBC Invitational, it’s clear that Davis has taken his game to another level. He mentioned a variety of programs that are currently involved with his recruitment. </p>
<p>"Salisbury and McDaniel are two D3’s that are recruiting me hard," Davis stated. "I’m also hearing from Fairfield, Columbia, Bryant, and NJIT."</p>
<p>What is Davis looking for in a school?</p>
<p>"I just want to go somewhere that I can be comfortable and be myself, no matter what level it is."</p>
