Greg said he texted Hale last night who says he's 100% committed to Bama. So if he flips his commitment, he's lied to a lot of people.

Is UT openly recruiting him? Not very nice if so

According to the insider, Hale's dad instructed him to to say anything until he formally decommits.

That guy seems to be trolling 100%. One of the weirdest trolls ever imo.

Who's trolling, Hale or the insider?

Well I'm glad he was trolling. You may not think he's a good player, but I think he'll be a very good 4 year player for us and possibly developing into a second team type SEC guy by his junior year.

"Insider" is trolling imo.

I have no idea why he would choose Hale to troll about though rather than Hubbs or Nichols.

Hale has really never been on our radar at all.

This is what Rob Lewis said last night
quote:

I've done a little digging and what I've found out is that nothing seems to be very far along. I think Tennessee may have reached out to Hale in the last couple of days to just see what was up, but feel fairly certain that in no way did Tennessee instigate anything or try to 'entice' him into looking around.

I don't think he's not talented, he is just extremely soft imo, which is not what we need out of that spot in the class.

Nichols is more of a tweener between a stretch 4 and a true post.

I think we need a banger in this class with Maymon and possibly Stokes gone, and Hale is far from it.

I do agree that he's not as physical as he probably should be, but he's really improved his strength at his new school and been more physical/aggressive this summer from most reports I've read.

Well he has been one of the best players on the AAU circuit this year so ill take him. Seems like a good hard worker as well. Could stretch some teams out. Could really kill teams who like to sit in zones on us with his mid range shooting as well.

The site where the rumors originated have posts saying he committed to UT. I guess we'll have to sit back and wait.

@jerrymeyer247: @Devans100 I keep hearing Alabama with Anthony Barber.


That was a Kansas fan asking Meyer what he's heard about Barber's recruitment.

This Hale thing is interesting.

If the kid who is posting on VolNation is the one who just spammed every single basketball recruiting writer with the tweet that Hale is now committed to Tennessee, then I don't think he's trolling. But Hale, is shooting it down.

Maybe he's our basketball Reuben Foster?

Yeah, UT site just talked to Hale's father.

"He says definitively that there are no truth to the rumors, Shannon remains committed to Alabama, talks to the staff there all the time and has no interest in looking around at Tennessee or anyone else at this time."
