I text Fray every week checking in. He’s incredible. Didn’t start playing basketball until a few years ago. He tries to play too fast at times, but will push for 5 stars

You can never tell the whole story behind a FutureCast selection. Certain pieces of information are best kept between sources and yours truly - but I did want to dish on a few of my latest predictions.
There was a bit of a stir when I placed an Auburn FutureCast for JD Davison, maybe the most explosive guard in his class. Do I believe that a commitment is near? No, but rather it is months down the line. My original prediction was for Memphis, but with the feeling that he won’t end up at the AAC program there has been some scuttlebutt surrounding Bruce Pearl’s Tigers. But don’t count out Alabama, as I see this being more of a neck-and-neck race rather than there being a real leader. That said, also keep an eye on Kansas and LSU, who are also right in the thick of it.
Speaking of Memphis, the Tigers would love to have five-star guard Kennedy Chandler, but momentum continues to swing toward Tennessee. I am not sure a commitment is near, but if things ended today I would actually be surprised if he didn’t pick the Volunteers.
And now ... the good news for Memphis, which we have written about quite frequently lately. LSU was in a great spot with Moussa Cisse just a month ago, but Memphis has flip-flopped spots with Will Wade’s crew for the premier shot blocker. A commitment could be made any day, with the expectations being that Cisse will be manning the center position for Penny Hardaway beginning in the fall.
Going from one former NBA vet to another: Juwan Howard is expected to reel in the commitment of Kobe Bufkin on Thursday. The information I had gathered Sunday evening led me to place my initial FutureCast on Michigan. The four-star then announced that he would be making his college decision Friday. What a week it will be for the Wolverines, kicking it off with Rivals150 forward Will Tschetter and completing it with the smooth-scoring wing that is Bufkin.

Do we have a legit shot or is it way too early to tell? Is the staff actively recruiting him?

Who's the other realistic options at pg for Bama? Whitt kid from North Carolina?

Carter Whitt and Hunter Sallis are two in the 2021 class.
There are more in the 2022 class that may or may not be able to reclassify.

Penny upped the bid for Cisse. Your move, Will. Time for a strong arse offer.

He’s becoming more and more on teams’s radar, but he does really like Alabama.

Javian Davis has entered the transfer portal. Not surprising considering I’ve said he would be the one to leave if John Petty were to return.
Posted on 7/9/20 at 5:15 pm to Harper41
Bah Gawd... if we get Petty back this a legit team that can play with anyone and I think has a real chance to win the SEC if they mesh quickly

Just begging for many gifs and jpegs but don't want to get banned.....
Also, I hate to see Davis go because I thought he showed some great flashes last year but yeah, if you gotta choose him or Petty for another year it isn't close at all.

Has Petty told them he's coming back then? Or is this precautionary in case he comes back?

Don't think pettey is coming back if anybody promises him any money.
Hope I am wrong but he wants to go badly.

Might be Petty leaning towards coming back, but it could just as easily be Javian reading the tea leaves after the Tchikou signing and realizing he wasn’t going to see the floor.

Javian isn’t going to see much playing time, but it could be for him to see what’s out there Incase Petty does come back. If he decides to not then he could always return. I think you see a Petty decision Within a couple weeks

The deadline is August 3rd so he has no choice

He will announce his decision that night at 11:59pm on Twitter.
Posted on 7/10/20 at 7:41 am to Bryant91092
He has 3 1/2 weeks left. I don’t think he lets it go that long

When it comes to the Crimson Tide, Henderson said their style of play sticks out.
“He is telling me that they’re very interested and they’re trying to get me over there for a visit for some games and I’m their number one guy they’re recruiting right now,” he said. “They let kids go and they let them play to their full potential.”
