@DrewDALIntel: Per his HS coach Jack Doss: Trevor Lacey will not return to UA (rumor floating around); he will begin taking visits & sign in a few weeks!

A guy from Switzerland is transferring to Alabama. Michael Kessens. Averaged 14 and 9 at Longwood University last year. Don't know if he's eligible next year or not.

ETA: Suttles says he has to sit out. Damn

I'll be interested to see what he can do against better competition. Looks like a finesse guy, but can't tell much from this video of him in a 2-on-2 tournament.

Saw Cecil tweet about Malik Smith, a FIU transfer. He visited the past couple days.

Apparently Malik Smith was on an official visit Thursday. Not eligible imediately I don't think. Pretty much Tarrant's numbers. 6'2", 14.1 ppg, 36% from the field, 36% from 3. Looks like a 3 point shooter only though. 8 of his 11 shots a game were 3s.

What year is he?

I asked him who he's deciding between and he said us, Arkansas, and Minnesota.

He also told our newest commit that it's very possible they'll be teammates next year. That'd be sweet

He was a junior last year. CBS doesn't list him as eligible to play next year, but I researched and found a UMASS board where someone said he is eligible immediately because FIU is under sanctions.

Just judging from his twitter, I'm beginning to think we lead for Devin Mitchell.

If we landed him and he was immediately eligible, it'd nullify the loss of Lacey. I do wish the 6'9 kid was immediately eligible though.

A class of Coleman, Mitchell, Norris, and Lee would be awesome That's a shot blocking enforcer, a crafty PG, and 2 deep specialists.

It'd be huge. We could definitely use a proven shooter.

That's kind of what I think our class will be. Just not sure what the Kessens pickup means though

Grant getting these transfer because if this season doesn't go well he can say he has some good guys coming in.

If Malik Smith comes here, it sounds like he'll be eligible this coming year.

Yea looks like he will fit right in. Sits on the perimeter and wants to jack up treys. Looks real similar to Lacey.
