Davis averaged 26 points and 17 rebounds at Chico High which made him the leader in both categories for Superior California (Sacramento to the Oregon border). He was named All-Northern California and selected to the Eastern Athletic League All-Conference team for two years (1981 and 1982). Also, he was a member of the Northern California All-Star Team.

Davis was a high-jumper on the school's track team.

He committed to San Diego State and attended the institution for one semester before transferring to Butte College (CA).

Davis earned All-American distinction by the California Community College Basketball Coaches' Association receiving the second highest number of votes after averaging 18.2 points and 10.7 rebounds for Butte College, the #1 ranked team in the state.

He led Butte to 29 straight wins but lost to Santa Barbara City College in the state semi-finals, 66-54.

Davis was named MVP of the Lassen Tournament as well as members of the following all-tournament teams: Napa Valley Classic and Butte Classic.

He scored 40 points against Chabot and collected 41 blocked shots in a five-game period during November and December in 1983.

Basketball Times listed Mike as one of the Top 30 Junior College players “that can make a significant contribution”.

Majerus on Mike Davis:
“Mike runs the court well and is a good passer. He has to learn that at his size, rebounding and defense are the two most important aspects of the game. I think he;s going to bother some people with his timing, his long arms and his height. He;s more of a perimeter player than an inside player, and his contributions should come from playing food defense and making opponents contest their shots. I'm looking forward to the dimension of a 6-10 guy who can flat out shoot and can pas extremely well. He has been extraordinarily well-coached and is also a well-liked player.”

Father, Gerald, played basketball at Chico State.
