2017 Guard commit Davion Mitchell is now 5* BY 247. That makes both 5* commits somewhere.

#13 OVERALL

It's incredible seeing us snag a couple of those top guys.

And disregard Harris and Herons size I'm talking skill set. both thrive in the paint both finish well around the rim both can play outside or inside.

Harden is a good size comparison but skill wise Hardens a 2 guard IMO someone that can knock down shots and run the point.


Heron has a complete game just Like Harden did as a HS Senior. He just needs to polish that jumper.

We get Trayvon Reed back and have Anfernee Mckelmore committed

We are looking at a 4* C and want a grad transfer big (maybe JUCO?)


We will be very thin inside but we have some height at SF at least

Not officially but I've given up on him playing this season.

We only have 1 spot left if Reed and Tahj are on the roster next year. If Tahj is done we almost have to take another PG so we aren't relying on a true freshman to give us minutes backing up Canty.

Isn't New Williams supposed to be a future PG? Got to imagine we could make something work at PG with Dunans, Williams and Brown.


I'd rather take another HS big + Grad transfer big. We are painfully short there

If we have to rely on Duncan's taking it up the court I'd poop my pants.

Williams and Brown could do it though

We would have Canty/Harper + the option of a 3guard backcourt with Brown/Williams/Dunans.


If Harper is reasonable, I'm comfortable with those 3 options to handle ball handling responsibility

That will make 13 schollied players on roster & leave no spots left unless we take Waddell off scholly. I hope I'm wrong but I think TSD is done & we get a big to replace him.

Outside of Azabukie which it looks like we aren't getting, no. GT news starts flowing after teams seasons are over.

E what's the deal with Garrison Brooks? I haven't followed his recruitment since I figured he would be an AU lean. His mom was at AU with me and were friends on FB. She is 100% Auburn but he doesnt seem to be. Is he a priority for this staff?

PF probably just isn't a priority for that class.

-Already got Wiley commited. He may end up at C or a 4/5 combo but he's being recruited as a PF
-McLemore coming in
-Spencer would still have 2 years left


Good year for PFs in the state in 2017. Alex Reese from Pelham is a top 50 recruit in the country. Wiley, Reese, and Brooks make 3 top 100 recruits all at PF in the state for '17

Alex Reese likely ends up at Alabama. I wish we would take Brooks and Wiley and have a solid front court for years to come with McLemore + Spencer

Yeah hate to pass up on a local kid or legacy. Especially one as highly ranked as Brooks. We've seen in football time after time how that can bite us in the arse.
