Think its getting told you wont play at your current school
I'm guessing it does depend on the language used, but if the coach tells you that he believes you're going to have a better opportunity somewhere else, I think that's essentially a nice way of putting "we'd like you to leave".I thought it was a little more than, "You are going to be nothing more than a benchwarmer." I thought it was more something like, "We need your scholarship for a better option, so you are not welcome back to the team." I thought that was a run-off.

Here’s a bit more on Transfer Target Javian Davis: https://www.isucyclonesports.com/blog/cyclone-transfer-target-javian-davis
Iowa State did recruit him out of high school and he looks solid, was a bit up and down last season, but I think he could help the Cyclones. Not sure how hard the coaching staff will go at him, however, will all the talented bigs the Cyclones already have. He would add much needed experience though.
When did Solo grow an inch?If he was a sit one, play three, then he would (1.) not clog up the 4-5 crowd and (2.) essentially replace Solomon Young after next year. Big men take extra time to develop, too, so having that year to grow as a player could really help him.
Young = 6'9" 242
Davis = 6'9" 242
Going through his freshman numbers...
PRPG! = 1.4 (roughly that of a low-quality bench guy)
MIN = 39.2%
ORTG = 110.9 (and that is pretty good, freshman Solo was 113.0)
USG = 17.9%
TS = 62.1% (very good)
OR = 9.7% (acceptable/good here)
DR = 14.9% (not as good here)
AST = 4.7%
TO = 19.6% (and this is pretty scary, definitely needs to improve here)
FT% = 61.5% (this too, otherwise it is going to be hack-a-Javian)
3% = 25.0% (on 2/8, so not an outside guy)
I do not know what he adds on defense, but based on the above, he was pretty good for a freshman big man in the SEC. I think he is worth a take assuming he has to redshirt to work on his strength and his free throw shooting.
The guy above shooting 80%+ from the line would be a very good player and be able to replace Solomon in the lineup. Maybe not as a starter, but he should be at least as good as Solomon was as a freshman and sophomore.

...but that's not important right now.It's actually a gradual process that takes place over a period of weeks or even months.
If ISU were to land another transfer we need a 3 year guy sit one play 2. Not that it matters a ton but next year we have Bolton, Conditt, Gibson, Harris and Johnson. That's alot to replace, would be nice not to have to replace another guy.
Totally get your thought process... but things change so fast from one year to the next it is just better to plan for next year and maybe the year after. The best rule is take the best talent now and figure out the roster later.

I agree. You take talent and then adjust later. I would live for another strong class for 21 and 22. But if we take a sit one play still this year it better be Shayok type rather than a Talley type.A GT TRUE PG would be the homerun. Our 2020 class is already in place to replace those guys. I'd like to see a solid 21 & 22 class to build on their talent.
According to Busting Brackets Javian Davis has a final 6 of WKU, Xavier, Gerogetown, Wake Forest, Tulane and Miss St. I haven't seen a official release on twitter and BB isn't always the most accurate. Not to surprised ISU wouldn't use the final roster spot on a sit out post though either.
