Bates is teaching a master class in how to completely frick your career before you can even legally buy a beer.

Things would probably be a lot different for him right now if he just went to Michigan State like he was originally supposed to.

Re-classifying instead of spending his senior year at a basketball factory like Sierra Canyon, IMG, or Montverde was also a mistake. Spending their final year or two of high school at one of those places is a big reason you see more and more of these big time recruits hit the ground running as freshmen. They're already used to the competition.

I'm so ready to melt about something insignificant, been working on my game all summer.

I wonder if all Ala career scoring leader records are safe now with the way players come and go.
They're safe until Brandon Miller stays four years because he just has too much Bama in him to leave before he gets his diploma and breaks them all.

Driving a borrowed car, he might be hanging out with drug dealers.

Top100 SG Davin Cosby announced today that he’ll be committing on Saturday, Sept. 24 between Alabama, N.C. State, Virginia, and Wake Forest. He’s coming off a weekend official to NC State and was in Tuscaloosa two weekends back for his official visit during Utah State weekend. WF and UVA got him on campus for OVs in July and August. Checking with sources today, the early intel leads me to believe Alabama is in good shape ahead of this weekend. I’m still doing a little bit more digging, but right now if I made a prediction I’d go with Alabama. I feel like they did a good job, per sources near his recruitment. He loves the idea of being a big point guard in Nate Oats’ system, and we’re told that is a big selling point. We’ll keep y’all posted if anything changes, but Alabama looks as though it’s in the driver’s seat.

Current prediction: Alabama

Hopefully the last minute NIL deal doesn't materialize again like it did with Dilione. I don't really see Wake or UVA as a big threat there, but NC State could be.

It won’t, and NC State won’t be a threat at all

I wish they’d go ahead and start selling the single game tickets, but that usually isn’t until mid-late October I think. Ready to buy my Southern Illinois ticket.

INTEL: Ranking the contenders for 4-star Davin Cosby

Four-star wing Davin Cosby released his top four schools yesterday; Wake Forest, Alabama, Virginia, and NC State. Cosby essentially cut Tennessee and LSU from his group of choices.

Davin Cosby averaged 13 points, shot 35.5 percent from three, and led his Team Loaded Va team to the Adidas 3SSB Championship game. This performance helped jump the 6-foot-5 wing from unranked to On3’s No. 90 ranked player in the 2023 class.

With this recruitment pretty quiet in the public eye, let’s go through all the intel to rank the contenders.

1. Alabama

Alabama offered this summer and made Cosby a priority from the second they offered. Cosby spoke highly of the large campus, and when on his 9/03 visit, he saw the fit he had in the program. Alabama has already been at multiple open gyms during the Fall live evaluation period, including at 12:01 on the first day of the live recruiting period, and the Crimson Tide continues to show him the love. Cosby speaks openly about the relationship he built with assistant Antoine Pettway.

Alabama’s chances: 85 percent

2. Virginia

Cosby is originally from Richmond, Virginia, and has familiarity with Tony Bennett and his program. The way the roster shakes out, there is early playing time available, and Cosby loved the family environment he saw with the team when he visited.

Virginia’s chances: 5 percent

3. Wake Forest

Wake Forest jumped in on Cosby hard and made a quick relationship. Steve Forbes went to see Cosby at 12:01 AM on the first day college coaches could be out during the Fall live evaluation period. Cosby also mentioned Forbes by name when talking about which coaches he had the best relationship with.

Wake Forest’s chances: 5 percent

4. NC State

NC State is the lone Adidas-sponsored school on the list; Cosby played with the Adidas-sponsored Team Loaded VA program. He also transferred to Raleigh (NC) Word of God Academy for his senior season, which is a ten-minute drive from NC State’s campus. Cosby vibed quickly with head coach Kevin Keatts.

NC State’s chances: 5 percent

Final thoughts

From the second Alabama offered, the thought was they were in the lead. Throughout the process, behind the scenes, Tennessee was the only school in the conversation with Alabama. Steve Forbes did well to wedge his way into the mix and make Cosby think. Kevin Keatts’ genuine approach got him in the final conversation, and Tony Bennett’s culture had UVa in the mix.

Cosby canceled his visits to LSU and Tennessee. He officially visited all four of the remaining schools. Cosby put out he will announce on September 24.

Current prediction: Alabama


I see there are two other Alabama predictions on 247 for Bama, with high confidence level. Fingers crossed.

Anyone know how much it may cost me to buy a ticket for the Houston game if I buy one when Houston starts selling their single game tickets next month? Figured I could log on their site real quick (October 24th) and snag 1-2
