BYU basketball: Cougars very proud of what Davies has done with his second chance
Davies isn't motivated by individual accolades — for him, it's about the team.
"I like to see progression. That's one thing that's a positive thing, to see that you're getting better and helping other people get better as well," he said. "It becomes contagious. When you're doing that for yourself, other people hop on board with it as well. That's a great part of being on this team."
The Cougars are looking to contend for a West Coast Conference championship, post their seventh consecutive 25-win season and make their seventh straight NCAA Tournament appearance. Davies is determined to make sure BYU reaches those goals and fashion a happy ending to his "really unique" career.

Sorry, but the title of this article (using the words "path to repentance") makes me very uncomfortable. Repentance is something personal and private. I'm OK with the "Second Chance" wording and LOVE the fact the Brandon is back. More..
Davies is a greaat story. I admire him for his his perserverance through a difficult situation. I hope others, including one or two on the football team, will show the same level of commitment. I'd like to see them back on the team.
