While I for one think that getting a solid guard in the 2009 class is big I do think that maybe holding the spot open for a year may not be the biggest thing in the world if we can give this guy playing time. Here is the early news around from web on who many believe to be the best prospect from Wisconsin in 2010 (Anderson who?). PS many websites have Marquette as his number one.

Scout.com has him as a four star prospect
ESPN.com ranks Flavien as a an 88 overall, the 6th SG in the country while also ranking him 22nd in the top 60 of his class.
Flavien Davis is a physical wing who is starting to play all three perimeter positions. Because of his size and strength, Davis had played inside a lot when he was younger and is really starting to develop as a player as his game expands. He is a big time athlete and can really finish in the paint. Davis is explosive and can create his own shot against anyone in his class. He still needs to become a better 3-point shooter and needs to be more consistent on the perimeter. Like most players his age, he gets down on himself too easily and sometimes gets frustrated and forces things on the court. With his size, strength and explosiveness, Davis is sure to develop into a high major prospect as long as he continues to work on his skills and develops his game.
here is some video of him in action as well (he is number 14)
