A New Mexico State recruit of interest

From Alex Kline/Recruit Scoop comes this tweet:

"2012 Team NJABC forward Jarrod Davis, who recently added an offer from UTEP, spoke with New Mexico State tonight"
The 6-foot-6 Davis is listed as a 2011 recruit by ESPN, with this description:
Strengths: 
Jarrod is a skilled wing. He is a very good scorer that can attack from anywhere. He is a good shooter to 20 feet and is also a very good slasher that can finish above the rim. Davis is a solid basketball athlete. He is a good rebounder for a wing player. He has long arms that allow him to grab rebounder over his opponents. Defensively Jarrod is decent but he has solid tools to be good defender down the road.
Weaknesses: 
He needs to continue to improve the range and consistency of his jump shot. But to his credit, he seems comfortable in the midrange and rarely ventures beyond the 3-point line for offense. He will also benefit immensely from improving his ballhandling skills.
Bottom Line: 
Davis is a natural small forward that can play power forward or shooting guard if needed. Jarrod displays physical toughness, a willingness to learn and carries himself well while experiencing adversity.
Here's another Davis feature but PTW couldn't locate a date on it.

Here's a July 20, 2010 one.

There are reports on the net of Davis committing to Seton Hall back in 2010 and plenty of links indicating interest from some high majors.

It appears something happened academically moving him back a year and the recruiting attention he is currently receiving is mid-major level.
