Yeah. Avery Johnson posted a pic on Twitter saying AJ Jr's bday was last month but he wanted to celebrate yesterday. Didn't give any reason why. The pic showed the whole team in their practice jerseys surrounding AJ Jr holding a cake. There's gotta be a reason he postponed his party for a month. Just happened to land on the day Petty visits.

Also, last night AJ Jr tweeted the address of the party trying to get everyone possible there. There's just something about that that seems.....different

He delayed his party a month in order to have more people on campus.

Fwiw, my son's friend and HS teammate who plays EYBL with Troy Brown has changed his tune, says he is very interested in Alabama. In the past he has said he would never go that far from home, but now says Alabama has a real shot with Brown.

Rayshaun Hammonds to WKU by Andrew Slater (Boooooo )
Rayshaun Hammonds to Alabama by Jonah Jordan (Whooo Hooo )

Then a guy named Dylan Prezkop changed his Hammonds pick to foggy. I don't know which team he previously picked.

Alabama men's basketball has officially announced the addition of Southern Illinois grad transfer Bola Olaniyan.

quote:

“We are just thrilled to have Bola join our team,” head coach Avery Johnson said in a University press release. “His experience and leadership are going to be very valuable for us. We wanted to upgrade in the area of rebounding and that’s one of Bola’s strengths.”

The 6-foot-7, 220-pound big man chose the Tide over Houston, Iona, Pittsburgh and UNLV on Aug. 16.

Rumor is our staff is pursuing Herb Jones as hard as any other recruit. If he chooses to sign elsewhere it will not be due to lack of effort on our part. We are not slow playing him.

Take it for what it's worth.

Here's an update with Jones from Dan McDonald: LINK

quote:

Alabama, Auburn, Florida, Florida State, Georgia Tech and UAB are the other schools in the mix for Jones as he begins to take official visits. Auburn is up first this weekend with an official visit followed by Florida next weekend and Alabama at the end of September. Georgia and Georgia Tech will likely get the last two visits.
Jones plans to come to a decision in the middle or towards the back end of October after taking all his official visits.


We may not be slow playing him now, but we definitely slow played him until the summer evaluation period by not extending an offer until then. Some writers have speculated that that really put off Jones towards Bama. Hopefully that doesn't come back to bite us in the end. I'd hate for him to end up at auburn or Georgia.
