MrGold from BOL

CAJ is visiting 2017 PF Deng Gak (originally from Australia) and 2017 PG Matt Turner. Both play with Blair Academy in New Jersey. Gak is a 7-footer that plays like Skal Labissiere of UK.

Deng Gak


I always think you can find out more from a big man's highlights than any other position. I'll admit, I stereotyped Gak by his name and figured he'd be just an athletic big with no offensive polish. The most impressive thing about his tape was his offensive polish. Exceptional footwork for a player that size and he not only has the ability to hit the open midrange jumper, but he can create space for that shot as well with his jab step. He's decently athletic as well. He's highly ranked, but with that sort of offensive game to go with his frame, I'm surprised he's not one of the top 5-Stars in the class.

Still in the running for PF Darius Hicks. 247 seems to think he'll go to Providence though.

I don't think this staff is currently recruiting him.

Damn, thought we had good chance of signing him.

I'm dying for some good recruiting news in basketball.

If William Lee decides to transfer from UAB, do u think they would block us from being able to get him if he's interested in coming here?

That's what I thought. I hate that rule. A kid should be able to play where he wants. I've always been a fan of Lee and wish he played at Bama. I'm still mad at Grant for not pushing hard to get him. I know he recruited him but he did not recruit him as hard as UAB did. I live close to his high school so I know that for a fact.

William Lee wanted to play with the fall in his hands. Grant didn't want that smh. Really would like to have him though.

Alabama offered 2017 4-star PG Nick Weatherspoon. Verbalcommits.com said we offered him 2 days ago. Not sure if this has already been mentioned or not LINK

Antoine Pettway is now following Memphis Graduate transfer Avery Woodson on twitter, as well as grad transfer Canyon Barry, and Jon Severe.

Think Avery Woodson could be persuaded to come to Bama with Nick King here?

I don't think it hurts anything. King was one of the first people to retweet Woodson's message about transferring. I don't think you do that unless you're friends...or just really hate Memphis

The Auburn/Opelika newspaper did a little mini-series with Garrison Brooks and this was the final episode: LINK

Some interesting notes are that his mom is a huge Auburn fan while his step-dad is a big Bama fan. Obviously we all knew his dad is a coach at MSU. He said us and MSU have really come on the hardest.
