Awesome news. He was our top target. He'll be a great one IMO.

“They have a pro style offense. Coach Grant gives his players freedom & they’re in the SEC.”

Well shite...learn something new every day.

fricking awesome.

Coleman is the kind of player that can overcome our staff's ineptitude on offense.

If anyone needed more confirmation @JeffSentell_: Just got off the phone with @JCole30 and he has committed to Alabama. Story to follow on Justin Coleman's choice.

Now we need to get Lee, Norris, a 2, and another big on board and it will be a solid class.

Landing Coleman is a huge early get for us considering that other players love playing with a true PG that knows how to pass the ball.

I think we get Lee. Norris is going to be tough with some of the offers he is getting, but landing Coleman immensely helps our chances with him. Devin Mitchell would be a nice get for the 2-spot with his shooting ability and he played AAU ball with Coleman. I still think Jackson is a possibility as well. I also really liked how well the Holston kid moves off-ball to get his shot. If we go with another big Turman is a strong possibility. Turman + Lee would be a killer rebounding duo.

We know Turman wants to come here. It's all about us giving him the commitable offer though. Like you, I think coleman helps us land Lee.

Here Sentell's story on his commitment: LINK

Sentell kept his slandering in this article to a minimum.

That's why I'm not sure if we are going after another big if we get Lee. Seems like he'd have a commitable offer otherwise.

Grant hates quality depth in the post.

With a PG like Coleman in our "system", we need to recruit a lot of skilled bigs and start running a lot of pick and rolls or pick and pops. His talents will be wasted if we continue to run the same old 4 guards passing the ball around the perimeter for 25 seconds offense.

With Lee we would have 6 posts (Engstrom, Taylor, Hale, Jacobs, Kessens, and Lee) for 2014-2015 barring transfers, though that does seem inevitable.

EDIT: I also forgot about Hurt, who would be the only other post I could see us waiting on.

He tweeted to Holston that he "wants to talk." Hopefully Holston doesn't believe the doucher. I really would like to know what the hell his problem is with Grant.

Really didnt expect this at all. This is huge. I think he helps us get Mitchell and Lee and hopefully Riley Norris.

Looks like a nice pickup.

When is early signing?
Any other top targets expected to make commitments early?

Early signing is in November, and I think most of the guys we are recruiting plan on signing then.
