re: Alabama Basketball: 2016 (and beyond) Recruiting

Anyone else really excited about next year? Just having Braxton Key makes me think we've got a good shot at the tourney bc he's an all around good player and a leader. He hussles as much as anyone on the court, rebounds, can shoot good, doesn't seem to feel the pressure in critical situations. Then add a good shooter, Armond Davis. Then the player everyone was saying looked the best last year, Nick King, is finally eligible. Then, our starting PG Dazon Ingram finally gets back on the court. I can't wait!

I'm excited, but still don't know if we should expect a tournament team yet. I know we got close last season, but that doesn't always translate to success the following season, even with better players. There's more pressure on Avery to succeed now because he had success last season and raised expectations.

I am excited about Key. He's just a solid all around player and will be one of the better defenders.

I agree. I actually think Sexton is the better and more complete player. Anthony Polite is a crazy talented kid too. I just really want one of those assassin type scorers. Sexton is probably the best pure scorer of those 3. Polite is a pure shooter and Petty would make a big in state splash. As would Jamal Johnson. I'd be thrilled with one of those guys. Sure would love to get 2 of them though.

I know he was playing against high school players, but I remember watching him a few games on TV and he didn't seem like their go to guy to score and still would end up with 20 points a game somehow

Giddens paper work must be in. Huge get LINK

Goooooooood!

Avery Johnson (as mentioned above) says we have one scholarship available for this coming season and he also says we may have a player (that we haven't seen play much) that could be good enough to be an NBA lottery pick. Here's the LINK

That's what I'm thinking too

Boooooo
