re: Alabama Basketball Recruiting and Offseason Talk

Me and Bird were pros at reading into twitter back a few years ago but you and a few other guys take it to a whole new level

quote:

---

comment at least twice on twitter about how he could’ve went to other schools as if he wanted to.

---

Sounds like he wants it to be known he was wanted. Especially if the home state didn't offer, got to imagine that is an ego blow

quote:

---

last year about how he probably would’ve committed to some Mississippi school (either MSU or OM) if they had offered. 

---

This isn't that unreasonable and doesn't necessarily reflect about his happiness about being w Bama

Think about all the kids who'd be locks with an early offer who teams can't flip with late offers. For example, Coynis Miller couldn't be flipped but would have been an easy Bama lock

quote:

---

Then tonight he made a comment about how it’s crazy that Loyola recruited him and now they’re in the Final 4 and he put the crying emoji and facepalm emoji after it smh

---

That's a pretty common wtf feeling though. Doubt he'd flip to Loyola even if Bama released him


All the tweets together look bad, but I think y'all are reading too much into it

quote:

---

It’s normal for a player to feel that way but usually they don’t publicly say it lol

---

I mean, we have to remember we are talking about a 17YO with a twitter account

He only has 5k followers on twitter, it probably hasn't occurred to him that people outside his circle care about what he tweets

I need to get a degree in deciphering secret twitter messages

You can make a good living off of being a social media specialist.

Has butthurt Bob Simon posted anything about Bama lately? I'm sure it hurt him seeing us making the tourney and winning a game.

His signature literally says....

I dont like fake people (AL&LA)

Michigan is shooting free throws like we do

quote:

---

university that gave him a job and treated him with respect?

---

Not sure he feels similarly about how he was treated given he was fired


He left an AHC gig at Providence then got fired to make room for Pelphrey it looks like?

I wouldn't be too thrilled if I left a good thing only to be shown the door 2 years later

I know that I'm going to catch hell for this, but I'd like for us to part ways with Pettway. I think we need to see if we can find someone that can help us shoot. I really think it would be beneficial for Pettway too.
