He is a four-star guard from Milwaukee, Wisc. The post above states he is a top 50 player which is accurate to his rankings on On3 and Rivals, but 247Sports is much higher on him. In fact, 247Sports ranks Davion as the No. 20 player in the country and No. 5 at his position.<\/p>\n<p>Hannah has received many high-profile offers from other schools including Marquette, Wisconsin, Iowa, Oregon, and Auburn as well as Michigan State. But whenever Izzo prioritizes a recruit, I become much more confident.<\/p>\n<p>And that appears to be exactly what Izzo is doing. As I mentioned before, it\u2019s not very often that Izzo hits the road and recruits during the season. So since he is making this much of an effort right now, it speaks volumes of how much of a priority he is.<\/p>\n<h3>Recent monster game from Davion<\/h3>\n<p>Hannah recently posted highlights of his game a few days ago, and man did he shine in this game. It unfortunately wasn\u2019t the game Izzo was at, but it shows how talented he is. In the below clip, he went for 20 points, 19 rebounds, and five assists in his team&#8217;s close win.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">2025 wing Davion Hannah put up 20 points, 19 rebounds, and 5 assists to help lead Nicolet past Carmen Northwest! <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Davionhannah25?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Davionhannah25<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Full highlights: <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/wNbMUWCZQ3\">https:\/\/t.co\/wNbMUWCZQ3<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/sgI2oIh6tS\">pic.twitter.com\/sgI2oIh6tS<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Fresh Coast Hoops (@FreshCoastHoops) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FreshCoastHoops\/status\/1759360232524824711?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 18, 2024<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>No predictions have been made and no timeline has been set for Hannah&#8217;s recruitment yet.
