re: Alabama Basketball: 2016 (and beyond) Recruiting

I understand the uneasy feeling some of you have regarding Ferguson, because i'd be lying if I said I had absolutely no worries at all, but I feel extremely confident that he will sign his LOI with Alabama soon enough.



Also, a player this highly rated waiting a few days to make some sort of a special announcement that will have many more eyeballs on it than it would have had if he had just signed on the first day, is a huge bonus for Alabama basketball. Signing Ferguson is so much more than signing a 5* kid. He is literally the first big mark that Avery has put on his new program and is the foundation of Avery's tenure here.

I wouldn't be shocked if him waiting to have a major announcement was a little bit of Avery's idea in the first place. Let's get as many people as possible see a MAJOR prospect choose Alabama basketball over the Kansas' of the world. Marketing 101 is at play here imo.
