NCAA Basketball: Analyzing top 3 teams for 2024 guard Ty Davis
Ahead of a looming commitment, NCAA Basketball class of 2024 guard Ty Davis is down to just three options. Which of them makes the most sense for the sharpshooter?
One of the better overall shooters in the 2024 NCAA Basketball recruiting class is Ty Davis. He’s grown into being a 6’5 guard and is from the state of Alabama. He’s a consensus three-star prospect and the type of player that can be a solid depth piece anywhere he goes.
Davis has seen his interest rise via power conference programs, reportedly taking visits to three of them in the past couple of months. That’s who the three finalists are for his services, as Davis is set to announce a decision on Monday.

Here’s a look at how he fits with each of the potential options.
Creighton Bluejays
Davis fits the mold of previous quality shooters that played for the Bluejays. Marcus Zegarowski is a more recent example, along with incoming Utah State transfer, Steven Ashworth. There’s a chance that he leaves a year from now, as well as potential NBA Draft pick, Trey Alexander. Plus, wing Baylor Scheierman will run out of eligibility. This is an option where Davis could find some minutes early and he’ll play in a system that fits his style.
Northwestern Wildcats
It’s going to be a completely new backcourt for the Big Ten program a year from now. Chase Audige is gone and both Boo Buie and Princeton transfer, Ryan Langborg, will follow. That leaves a core of unproven backcourt players such as Ty Berry, transfer Justin Mullins, and incoming freshman guard, Jordan Clayton. This is an option that Davis could certainly compete with early on, with his shooting ability potentially setting him apart from the others.
Oregon Ducks
The Ducks are another team that has struggled in the shooting category this past season. They also have a number of guards and wings that are likely leaving after next season, including transfers Jesse Zarzuela and Kario Oquendo, along with five-star freshmen, Kwame Evans and Mookie Cook.

If Davis has the desire to play more on the ball, that’ll be determined by how long top-40 incoming freshman, Jackson Shelstad, is around. If he leaves early, then there’s a clear path in the future. But at the same time, head coach Dana Altman is always landing five-star recruits in almost every class. So if Davis isn’t careful, he could get jumped in the pecking order by a more talented guard down the line.
