From what I’ve read from Tech fans, seems like they expect to land Obanor and Shack.


Saw a rando Tech fan on Twitter earlier saying they will have a top 5 roster if they add Obanor and Shack.

I trust oats obviously, but this sucks if we aren’t actually recruiting him.

I thought he’d fit like a glove in our system.

I'd think so too if we didn't already have Gurley, they are really similar, both 6'8 and have had seasons where they shot over 40% from three. Gurley is the better defender. Obanor does a few things better than Gurley too, but they are similar players.

I thought us recruiting Obanor meant Tchikou must not have been gonan be healthy for a while.

If we aren’t recruiting him and he included us in his top 4, that means he’s gotta be leaning Arkansas right? Smells like a Muss thing to do since they “stole” Dunning from us too.

Alabama has stopped recruiting Kevin Obanor. Likely meaning we are all out for Jaden Shackelford.


"all out for"

How am I supposed to be reading this?

That would be dirty.


I already really disklike Muss (even though I think he is a great coach). This would make me REALLY hate him.

Were we recruiting him and then stopped or were we never recruiting him to begin with?

Shack probably told Nate he was coming back so we withdrew

Looks like we were recruiting him, something happened, and then we stopped. Idk what happened tho. Maybe he told Bama his decision already and we “stopped” knowing we were out. Or maybe there’s someone else we’re gonna add that’s just as good or better. I really have no clue.

That makes the most sense if everything we are hearing is true.

Just give me Shack back and I trust Oats to develop Miles or Holt to pick up Primos slack and let’s ride.

I'm not saying that it ended up as a CB for us, but that we had one (I actually think it was a few) at one time. That's why I don't get overly excited with the guys with high percentages picking us. It's known before commitment day where most of these high-profile recruits are going. High percentage CBs generally means they're good at updating before a commitment.
