Early life and college career

Davies was born in Philadelphia, but adopted by single mother Kathy Davies and raised in Provo, Utah. He attended Provo High School, where his team won state titles in his sophomore and junior seasons.

After playing a reserve role as a freshman in 2009–10, Davies became a key player for the Cougars as a sophomore. He served as the key inside player for the small, sharp-shooting 2010–11 Cougars (led by eventual National Player of the Year Jimmer Fredette). BYU raced to a 27–2 record and was ranked no. 3 in the AP Poll when Davies was suspended from the team for violating BYU's honor code.
