You have to hand it to Bruce Pearl. He's a smart guy.

Did everyone notice that he gave the story to the Montgomery Advertiser beat writer (James Crepea) and was very specific about where he was headed this weekend (Nike EYBL in Virginia)?

Why is that important?

It's important because (4) big time 2017 recruits (Austin Wiley, Garrison Brooks, Jamal Johnson, and John Petty) will be playing there.

And, it's extremely important for the Advertiser to write the article because all (4) play for the Montgomery based and Nike sponsored Alabama Challenge. He wants it in their local paper.

That may seem minor to some, but it speaks volumes to the way BP thinks. He is always thinking, always recruiting, and always paying attention to every detail.
