Likes Brannen and Grant, talks to Brannen once a week

Feels he fits in well with our style of play, obligatory "he likes how we get up and down the court" (blacking out games for recruits is one of the REC's most notable accomplishments)

Says we want him as a 4 but he could play the 3 too.

It would be nice to play with the talented guys we've brought in but he has to make the right decision for him. He doesn't have a "for real" relationship with any of our commits, but Mitchell texts him some.

Hears a lot from "Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Florida State, UAB, Notre Dame, Stanford, Wichita State and LSU" and doesn't have a "top group or anything."

Will probably sign in the first signing period but might not.

If Brannen leaves we are so unbelievably fricked. Does anyone else on the staff even have a cell phone?

Pettway gets mentioned some but Brannen gets mentioned in every single article. I think this will be his last year here. He's going to get a head job.

If Brannen leaves, Pettway would probably become the social recruiter.

Cecil Hurt just retweeted something from Lee saying his decision date will be January 10. Which is fairly specific.

@Haha34lee1: My decision date will be Jan 10!!

I bet he decides before then and signs early.

So much for deciding soon. Sucks if he actually sticks to it. Big schools will probably come calling after they miss on their Plan A.

Grant doesnt seem like the type to wait.

He might wait, but my guess is we will put some pressure on him to sign early. Not many realistic remaining big men that we are currently after outside of Lee. Maybe Hurt?

Id rather have Lee than Hurt. Dont know why the hell he would wait that late for.

@EvanDanielsFOX: Jakeenan Gant has committed to Missouri, his coach says.

Don't think anyone saw this coming.

I kind of wish we wouldn't have slow-played him, now that Lee is deciding late. He's going to be a very good player in college and an immediate contributor IMO.

Woah. Don't know much about him, but if he has a committable offer this early he must have really impressed Grant.

Heres the updated scout rankings for our commits and target: Coleman (#74) and Mitchell (#95). Norris fell out of the top 100 and lost a star and Lee is still a 3-star.

Not exactly sure why I'm posting these because these rankings have always been a joke.

I thought Norris had been tearing it up this summer.

He was. Most of his blowing up happened towards the beginning of the AAU season, and Evan Daniels has a short memory.

@BamaHoopsNews: Hearing @AlabamaHoops big man Nick Jacobs dislocated his (right) shoulder.

No word on how long he'll be sidelined.
