It's pretty sorry anyone would want key and Norris gone. I guess some of these ignorant Fricktards have forgotten Norris was injured last year. He not only gives us experience and depth , but also does stuff that the stat sheet doesn't show. If giddens doesn't transfer then I don't see anyone else leaving.

He is overrated. His production is even less than Key and people wanted him gone. Why no outrage at that?

Giddens can go as well.

I'd rather fill their positions with a nice transfers. Sue me.

Somehow, I highly doubt the coaching staff is looking for a grad transfer or a JUCO player. Seems like they're satisfied with the roster. All we can hope for is for the younger players to progress in the off season.

Disagree. Coaches are recruiting a player that would be eligible next year. Tells me at minimum they have a spot available.

Is said player a 2018 guy or grad transfer? Do we know what position?

2018. I don’t know if we’ll sign him but we wouldn’t recruit him if we had no spot.

Are we talking about Dmitry Rivny? If so he's a 4.

If nothing else, I think Norris would bring something that was sorely lacking on the team this year: experience and a senior presence. How many times this past season did we need a leader to step up and hold it together and nobody answered the call except for some attempts by Collin that may not have been well received. Nobody every mistook Norris for Scottie Pippen but he will be a contributor.

Key leaving is more of the same: a very talented player who feels he isn't getting his just due and development at Bama. The reasons for that are numerous and the blame can be shared by all. It's disappointing that Braxton is leaving but it's also disappointing that he never regained or even surpassed his freshman form and potential. But based on his performance this season, both parties might be better off. I just hope somebody develops down there. I'm tired of wasted potential.

I think so. Didn’t ask name. Just know that we are still recruiting c/o ‘18.

Walton got Florida and Louisville offers today. I had no idea he was this type of prospect.

In Walton's one game Under Armour Assoiciation game yesterday that stats have been posted for, he led all scorers with 19 points on 57% shooting and 3 of 8 from 3.

His AAU team, Team Thad, is usually pretty good, so being their main scorer is pretty impressive.

There's a lot of noise online about a 2020 guard named Austin Harvell from Athens, AL.

Avery is back watching Lewis and Watford this morning. I don't think he's missed a game for them yet this weekend.

Yeah it's good that they're on the same team. I think coaches can't technically recruit at these events, but I'm sure it's important to be there even if we probably incorrectly assume everyone's following those rules.

Also, the best players typically play for Nike teams, so we'll be able to scout lots other guys at Watford and Kira's EYBL events.

The only problem is that since Walton is on the Under Armour shoe circuit, it'll be hard to follow him while going to all of Kira and Watford's Nike events.

One recruiting analyst tweeted out yesterday that Kira is the fastest player in the country end to end on the court. That's high praise.

We offered Drew Timme who's a 4* PF/C out of Texas. It'll be an uphill battle for him, but he does play for Mo's AAU team.
