From what I've heard Hall has significant more offensive game than Taylor had coming in, but still needs to get much stronger. Taylor, Hall, Kessens and WK would be a decent group. If AJ brings in WK then it would appear that Hale and Norris would primarily play the 3 instead of the 4 like they did under AG. I like the idea of having 4 true big men on a roster with a SF or two capable of playing the 4 if we chose to go small.

Speaking of WK, I'm trying to remember this correctly but did he not have some connections to a B'ham AAU coach or a high school coach when he initially came out of HS and AG did something that bruised the relationship? It seems like we might have offended the coach and he steered WK to Auburn. Maybe I'm wrong but if so, it would seem like a double win to give a second chance to a Sr. big man at the SEC level while repairing a relationship damaged in the past.

His high school, AAU coach, and guardian is Darien Knox. That's Justin Knox's uncle. When Grant blocked Knox's transfer to UAB, that started a lot of bad blood.
