By a wide margin. I would be shocked and thrilled at the same time.

I can't see it happening, but it'd be awesome if it did.

BOL said they'll have an interview with Herb Jones up tonight or tomorrow about how his visit went today.

Probably: "visit went well"

BOL kills me with what they consider VIP worthy.

John Petty

Final 5 coming out this week stay tuned


Kinda concerning that he has a list of 5 after all summer we've heard its us and UK. Probably just doing that to have a list tho instead of just having two.

Austin Wiley (AU Commit) is transferring from Spain Park to out-of-state prep school.

You think this might increase our chances to get Jamal Johnson? Crystal Balls still indicate that Auburn and Memphis have the lead, but AU's chances have gone down significantly since August.

I think Johnson would be ours if we showed that we wanted him. As of right now I think Herb Jones is our plan B and Johnson is a plan C.

Can't sign everyone unfortunately. That's the con of teams like Alabama, that don't lose guys to the draft every year. Conversely, it help builds experience and chemistry, which makes a great team.

I was snooping around for some B-Ball news and found this on Braxton Key.

Alabama has a highly-rated recruit in Braxton Key. Will he contribute early?

He said he loved his visit, the enthusiasm around campus was great, Avery tells him he's a priority, we are in his top 5, and he'll definitely sign in November.

so far in the month of August, we have gotten another Crystal Ball for 5* Collin Sexton, we got a crystal ball for 4* Herb Jones today, and we got a crystal ball for 5* Troy Brown on August 1st.

I am gaining back my confidence for this class.

Like the fact that he's talking to other "players interested in Bama". Coincides with what we heard about Brown liking some "players interested in Bama".

I do wish we could get a commitment from Collin soon. I think that would really get the ball rolling.

FWIW the guy that CB'd Brown to us did the same with Sexton 7 minutes later. He sees a connection.

This is great news. Hopefully the dominoes start to fall soon..in a good way.

He said they're hoping to wrap up his recruiting before their season, which is right around the corner.
