Since the arrival of Nate Oats and his staff in Tuscaloosa, they have turned Alabama into a forced to be reckoned with on the recruiting trail. They struck again on Sunday when they landed four-star wing Jusaun Holt from the Atlanta area. In Holt, the Crimson Tide landed a guy who may be one of the top defensive wings in the country. He plays hard, his instincts are there and he is able to switch all around the perimeter defensively.

On the offensive end he's a sneaky athlete, has a nose for the rim on drives, makes mid-range shots and has potential as a deep jump shooter. Holt needs to add strength, but the will is there and Alabama had to put in some serious work to land him after he looked to be a near lock to Xavier during the summer.

The first member of Bama's 2021 recruiting class, Holt is the fifth four-star prospect (of six recruits) to choose the Tide since Oats arrival.

JD is a diehard Bama fan. If it truly is between us and the Barn I give us a 60% chance

My birthday is Halloween. Between playing Leach and State in football that day and the JD Davison announcement, this thing can go one of two ways...

After the Holt commitment, we are currently #68 nationally and #11 in the SEC.

If Davison commits we would jump to #25 nationally and #4 in the SEC.

My birthday is the day we play Ole Miss in football so I’m already preparing for Kiffin to screw that up for me

But I’m feeling cautiously optimistic about JD now that Slater said that. I just know our hearts are gonna be ripped out tho.

If we somehow end up with a class of Holt, Davison, Cardet and Bediako - that would almost assuredly be top 10 nationally, maybe top 5.

That class would be #2 right now, but obviously a lot will change before all is said and done.

I like our odds against them better than LSU. Any big time recruit seriously considering LSU with the cloud over that program right now is without a doubt on the take. Bruce is shady but he isn't 6 figure signing bonuses for the entire recruiting class shady.

I’ve never seen a basketball recruit that was more of an outspoken and committed fan of Alabama than Trendon Watford was...
