SMU will have former TCU guard Kendric Davis available when the program takes the court Saturday night against UNLV in Las Vegas, sources told Pony Stampede. The Mustangs sit at 4-0 on the season, fresh off a road win over Evansville on Monday night. The school confirmed the news in a tweet on Friday.

"Thanks to my Mom, Family, teammates, Coaches and everybody who kept me positive through it all," Davis said in a tweet after the news dropped. "I really couldn’t done it without you guys. Time to #PONYUP"

The team is still awaiting word on Cal transfer Darius McNeill, who is still waiting on a decision from the NCAA as to whether or not he'll be eligible to play this season. Davis will start at point guard.

In 37 games as a true freshman, Davis averaged 6.3 points, 1.7 rebounds and two assists per game for the Horned Frogs while McNeill started 28-of-31 games, averaging 11 points, 1.4 steals and .9 assists while hitting 34.9 percent from three-point range.

"A lot. They're both established, outstanding Division I players," SMU head coach Tim Jankovich said of what the two guards bring. "Darius was a double-figure scorer in the Pac-12 for gosh sakes. That's pretty impressive. Kendric was an outstanding freshman last year and is a true, true point guard and a tremendous talent. They're getting their waivers in a favorable way is no small thing."

Former junior college standout Tyson Jolly has been running the point guard position alongside CJ White and Emmanuel Bandoumel so far this season. Jolly, who is averaging 18.3 points per game and 6.5 rebounds per game while shooting 60 percent from the floor, is expected to still see a starting role at this point.

"He's a lot of things. He's very very versatile. He's very athletic," Jankovich said earlier this season. "He's a very tough competitor and he can do a lot of things to hurt the other team. He can rebound, he can drive, he can shoot a three, he's a good passer, he's a very good defender. Really checks a lot of boxes."

Jankovich was thrilled with the team overcoming an off night shooting the ball on Monday night against the Purple Aces, who beat the No. 1 team in the country, Kentucky, just a week prior.

"I really really love what I saw. First road game. Great crowd, great arena," Jankovich said during his postgame interview. "Team that's full of confidence, as you can see. How could they not? Given what they've done. They had a really good Ball State team in here ahead 40-18 at halftime. Ball State is good. We knew we had our work cut out and I thought our guys were so prepared defensively.

"They were on point. So many times we made very few defensive mistakes, which in the last few games, we've made many defensive mistakes so really proud of the way they were cut in and showed what we are capable of on the defensive end and rebounding."
