Davies From BYU

Interesting from Andy Katz's twitter feed:

@ESPNAndyKatz Does BYU's Davies have to sit out a year if he transfers? BC will need big men next year & I would love to see him at Conte.

Davies would be a huge get. This is something Donahue should absolutely look at. We need depth inside.

Is he mormon? Would that matter if he transferred to a Catholic university?

Didn't matter to Paul Peterson.

The Don should recruit him hard. I mean he obviously is not that dogmatic of a Mormon and seems like he is a high-character guy. BC would be a good transition from BYU which cares about developing well-rounded student athletes. BC obviously wouldn't care if he was a Morman, the question is if he would be willing to go to a Catholic school. Unlike other religiously-affiliated schools BC probably has a majority non-Catholics. If he wants to play hoops, I would assume he would transfer to a non-Mormon school anyways because to my knowledge BYU is the only Mormon school that plays hoops at a high level.

Obviously a long-shot, but it seems like Davies would fill a need and be a good fit for Boston College. Let's make it happen!

I am friends with a Mormon who played sports at BC. The Catholic nature of the school was never a problem for her. Can't see why it would be for him.

Do we even know that he is considering transferring? If he does I can't really see why he would not have to sit a year. Even if he did have to sit I would go after him if he decides to transfer.

I can see him wanting to stay out west since he's from Utah. I think transfer rules still apply since he is transferring schools and even disciplinary dismissals are subject to the sitting out rules. He can petition the NCAA to waive the rule but I would be surprised to see them waive it. Still, he has two seasons of playing left. It could even lead to some beef between BC and BYU. We can even say that Catholics welcome sinners...especially if they can play basketball.

70% of students identify themselves as Catholic.
