Wish he would commit already.

We have so many highly ranked players considering us and listing is in their top 5 or 10, but none have picked their schools yet. I'll be so glad when we land that first commit.
Would be really funny if we land a few in the next month and overtake Auburn. Their fans are already bragging about being #1 but it won't last.

Crystal ball has us at 100% for Sexton. Only 12% for Petty. 66% for Hammonds. 80% for Reese and 100% for Herb.

I really hope the staff is still pursuing Herb Jones hard. JMO, but I think it would be a shame to let a local player go elsewhere. Especially since he's 6-7 and has the ability to finish in traffic.
Other than that, Sexton and Reese in one class is a helluva job by a 2nd year CBB HC.

I was told yesterday by a scout that he had heard Jones is still down the list in terms of wants for our staff. Doesn't mean that info is right though.

I've heard the same thing but I'm not sure how far down the list he is. Our top targets seem to be Sexton, Petty and Hammonds. The next tier would be Reese, Jones, Brooks and Garza. (Although Garza could be in top group.)
I think we'll turn up the heat on Jones if Petty chooses KY. It also wouldn't surprise me to leave one schollie open for a late grad transfer.

Does the staff see Hammonds as 3 or 4?
Posted on 7/25/16 at 2:17 pm to Gongora
I don't know how Reese isn't in the top tier with his shooting ability and size. I just have the bad feeling that Averymisnt taking guys that are willingn to come here which I don't believe we are at the stage where we can turn anyone away.

Was told that Reese is tough to read. Might end up at UAB. I think we still land him FWIW. Ranking the recruits he's below Hammonds and maybe Garza too.

That's a little bit different than what I heard. I was told that Sexton, Petty, and Reese are our top 3 wants.
ETA: I did hear the uab stuff though. They said it'll be us or them, but they think he'll end up choosing Bama. His girlfriend attends uab.

Garza? Behind him really. Can't be because of playing ability. Reese isn't as big but has a ton more to offer IMO.

Arthur Edwards posted a pic of him watching practice from the sideline today. Someone asked him how this year's team looked and he said "They will be in the tourney guaranteed next year". By "next year" he meant this coming season. I'm glad he thinks that. Glad to hear that come from someone who's actually around the team.

"ce1976" posted this on BOL when asked if he knew when our first commitment would be: "No sir but told it would be soon and that it will be a big commitment."
Isn't he a pretty reliable guy?

Pretty sure I just got banned from the recruiting board over a joke about Auburn in response to them ribbing Alabama. Man, those frickers are sensitive.

It's possible. Was told Hammonds is elite. Our staff really likes Garza and nobody knows what Reese is going to do.

In general, yeah, ce1976 is reliable.
