Writing on the wall for Reese to Bama has been there for a while.

AU doesn't feel great about Garrison Brooks right now. I'm sensing UGA. Unclear of Bama's involvement really

He's trending UNC right now and will visit them on the 7th. I'm honestly not sure Mark Fox last another year in Athens, which could affect Brooks options. He's been there for 7 years now and has only been to the tournament twice and has never gotten past the first round.

Honestly, I'm thinking State. Howland is a good recruiter and I think there is some connection on the staff with Brooks.

Yeah that ship has sailed. I'll be shocked if he doesn't go to UNC. We've stopped pursuing him though. Anyway...I guess Thursday is our trial day, lol.

Supposedly, MSU has been ruled out, kid lives with momma, and momma wants to keep hima away from daddy.

I was pretty sure of it before, but this has to move both Jones and Reese to locks.

Speaking of kids we've stopped pursuing, are we still going for Rashaun Hammonds? #50 player on 247 with us at 40% Crystal Ball picks. Any news on him?

He's scheduled to visit for Tide Tipoff. I'm hopeful that even if Reese commits, we continue to pursue Hammonds. They could easily coexist.

Thanks. You're right they could definitely coexist. From what I've seen Reese is better in the post and is a good pick and pop guy while Hammonds is more athletic and a better ball handler. Would love to have them both.

Would we even have room for Hammonds?

Another CB to Oregon for Troy Brown.



We very well could be playing against him next season.

We wouldn't play Oregon next year. We had a home and home.

ESPN had an article on Troy Brown and Oregon was listed as the favorite while Alabama was listed as the first of 4 other contenders. Most recruiting sites have us as a legit contender for his signature.
