re: This year with Avery Johnson proves just how bad Anthony Grant was

Blame Gottfried for letting Cousins and Bledsoe go -- that's not on Grant.

I didn't say the in state talent wasn't going to Alabama, I said it wasn't staying in Alabama.

I didn't blame Grant any more than Gottfried or Jeff Lebo or Tony Barbee or Bruce Pearl or Mike Davis or Jerod Hass.

The in state talent left during that era, and at least a part of it is because all three of the traditional in state hoops powers were boring and mediocre or worse.

While he can't be blamed for losing every recruit, Grant certainly contributed to the boring and mediocre.
