The Atlanta, Ga., native will return for his junior season on the 2005-06 University of Alabama basketball team where he has been a starter for the past two seasons. "I'm excited for him personally," said Alabama basketball coach Mark Gottfried. "I think it's the right decision. I always want what's best for our players. I think this gives him the chance to continue to develop, as he has done the past two years. It's also important to note he's on track to graduate within his four years here." Davidson has started in 60 of his 65 career games at Alabama. He was voted third team All-Southeastern Conference by the Associated Press in 2005. He averaged 7.6 points and 7.9 rebounds for Alabama this past season and 5.0 points and 4.3 rebounds as a freshman. _______________________________________________ RTF mailing list RTF@rolltidefan.net http://rolltidefan.net/mailman/listinfo/rtf_rolltidefan.net
