I listened to the press conference on my lunch break. Just watched the video. I'm PUMPED. I think he's exactly what Bama basketball needs. I'd play for that guy. My 18 year old self would have run through a brick wall for that guy. I can't wait to see the team. Looks like I'm going to have to make some trips down to coleman this year.

You know, I wonder how Pearl will respond to Avery. I think Pearl is a very good coach but he gets a lot of mileage out of his "charisma." Thus far at AU, he's really been the only show in town. He looked really good/cool in contrast to Grant and I think that comparison kind of fed the mystique. He hasn't really had to compete for oxygen with anybody else.
Avery could end up being a total bust, but one thing that is for sure is he will be very visible. How will Pearl counter that? Will be interesting to see it play out.
Hell, they could actually benefit from each other.

I'd be down for a whole new fresh start. New jerseys. New court. New seat placements. Let's really do the damn thing.

It's nice to see our basketball coach promoting our football program. It might eventually get people excited about football again. #basketballschool

If he can coach and recruit half as good as he can control a room we are in for some great times ahead.

Any leaks about what assistant we are in negotiations with tonight?

Saw Rick Stansbury on twitter. Don't know if true or not.

In the next couple of years, I hope we get a chance to meet WSU in the tourney and beat them like a drum.

Could be conjecture based on AJ obviously knowing him pretty well (or, I suppose, true that there's interest for the same reason). Seems odd that he would hire someone from A&M though.

New UA coach Avery Johnson said former coach Anthony Grant had texted him and wished him well.

We are in the same preseason tournament as them next year so I bet we play them.
Posted on 4/8/15 at 7:56 pm to Tide or Die87
Yeah I'm seeing that now too. It would definitely make recruiting even more interesting.
