I'm guessing it's us. Don't know how I missed this but...

All I know is Key wants a Bama offer. Not sure past that, and yea Thompson is likely UT bound, but getting a visit at least give us an outside shot.

Dont know why we wouldnt offer Key and we would offer this kid. Is Thompson a pure point?

From my understanding he is a PG and that's what he wants to play in college. I can see prioritizing Thompson over Key simply b/c Key is a JUCO SG. That said, if it's looking like UT for Thompson lets get Key committed.

Im thinking we wont dont need another gaurd in this class now. Getting Hale and Taylor would allow for Cooper to play the 2 or 3 primarily now. Also I looked at Keys stats and he was like 17 percent from 3. I wish we would add knock down shooter if possible.

I don't like the prospects of a true freshman PG taking over for Releford. I'd love to get Thompson.

Id love to get Colemon even more. Id take Thompson over Key as well. I think we just need to get someone who can play. I said it once ill say it again we cant keep letting these scholarships go to waste.

Key would be graduating same time as Lacey, Randolph, and Cooper. It would call for a helluva good wing recruiting class in 2015. Thompson has PG skills, but early on he would probably play more at the 2. His problem now is defensively he isn't quick enough to guard the little, quick guys.

Not sure how deep our in-state class is for 2015. I know Purifoy is a good wing. Ethan Stair (wing shooter) and Lamonte Turner (6'1" scoring point) are other possibilities.

Well i was saying that in reference to Langford but I didnt know he was a 16' kid. Saw some film on him and its hard to believe he is a 16 kid.

He'll probably be the most highly regarded Alabama prospect to come out since Wallace.

@AdamZagoria
Mergin Sina tells @SNYtv Jaren will ask for and get his release from Northwestern but will keep them on his list.

Just about to post that. I doubt we'd even be on his list though.

Seeing he's probably going to Seton Hall, and that makes sense with the Aquille Carr decommittment.

We may as well try though.

Might as well. Guess I gotta go follow the little bastard again.

He did say it was between us and Northwestern when he committed there, though that was probably a courtesy mention.
