A source close to Davis, tells PSN that Davis will make an unofficial visit to Pitt on August 2, which is the end of the college basketball recruiting dead period that and the first day that prospective recruits are able to visit.

Jeff Capel and Tim O’Toole have been recruiting Davis hard now for over a year and our source says they’ve developed a strong relationship.

“Coach Capel is an authentic person who is interested in developing R.J. as a player. He likes R.J.’s leadership on the court and his demeanor. He is really high on R.J. as a person and player in that order. He has built a relationship with R.J. and is in touch with his parents as well. He is honest about the direction of the program and the need for R.J. at the point position. The university will also provide him a good education. He’s excited to learn more about Pittsburgh as a community on his unofficial visit.”

It’s not a stretch to characterize Davis as possibly Capel’s top priority in the upcoming recruiting class.
