Needs to show up on the court soon but Wiley and Montgomery are two awesome pickups for us.

I don't think it'll be this year, but y'all will probably end up being a top 25 team when the 2017 class gets to campus.

Bruce openly says in meetings that if he can't win with that class then he questions his coaching ability. I'm amazed in what he has done.

Great pick up, is Garrison Brooks expected in your '17 class?

Tough to say. AU and UNC at the top right now with some other schools lurking. He had a great summer and really blew up. UNC is his dream school but momma wants him to stay close at home and rep the state of Alabama. I've seen an AU mod say that Auburn has the slight edge, but who knows. I wonder if Montgomery committing impacts him at all.

I wouldn't count State out. His dad is an assistant on the staff.

@Big4Dawg I have heard that Brooks eliminated MSU a few weeks ago. Official visits should be AU, UGA, UNC, Arizona State, possibly SMU.

I don't think we get Brooks either. Heard momma isn't a fan of dad. (shocking)

I have read that UNC gets Brooks if they want him. Not sure if he is a take for them though.

Here's our 247 composite classes from 2015 to what we have committed for 2017 and '18. This is way more talent than we've ever sniffed. To actually see this just shows how amazing Pearl has done getting talent in. And these classes are all high school kids, with the exception of 1, whereas his first few classes had quite a few juco kids and were just kind of pieced together.

9 top 100 players nationally(1 of those juco top 100), 4 top 50, 1 five star in each of the '16, '17 and '18 classes.

2015 -

Horace Spencer PF 6'8", 215 - .9749(4*) Natl 65, Pos 16, St 5
Danjel Purfioy SF 6'6", 190 - .9740(4*) Natl 67, Pos 12, St 1
TJ Dunans SG 6'5", 190 - .9600(4*) (juco) Natl 2, Pos 1, St 1
New Williams SG 6'2", 176 - .8816(3*) Natl 179, Pos 50, St 18
Bryce Brown SG 6'2", 173 - .8138(3*) Natl 371, Pos 96, St 24

2016 -

Mustapha Heron SF 6'5", 200 - .9908(5*) Natl 23, Pos 4, St 2
Jared Harper PG 5'11", 155 - .9514(4*) Natl 92, Pos 21, St 6
Anfernee McLemore PF 6'8", 210 - .8698(3*) Natl 203, Pos 48, St 13

2017 -

Austin Wiley 6'10.5", 250 - .9941(5*) Natl 16, Pos 7, St 1
Davion Mitchell PG 6'1", 185 - .9832(4*) Natl 40, Pos 11, St 1
Chuma Okeke SF 6'7", 225 - .9783(4*) Natl 56, Pos 11, St 8

2018 -

EJ Montgomery PF 6'10", 200 - .9943(5*) Natl 14, Pos 7 , St 2

i can hardly wait until roundball starts.....we might as well try to be a basketball school, as long as the football program stays like it is now

ya'll got a good coach over there, too.....what we are seeing over here is just hard to believe, as far as talent coming in.....5* is not something that we are used to seeing on the court

Coach Pearl was in N.Ala last week and stopped to visit Kira Lewis (2019 PG; #2 player in the state ; #8 Nat. Rank).
Lewis took an unofficial the weekend before last and received a verbal offer. Was hosted by Pearson.
