re: 2017 Basketball recruiting and offseason news thread

I am in no way shape or form an insider or will I ever claim that I am. In my lifetime, I have been lucky enough to be on the inside 2 times when it comes to big recruits.

The 1st time was a few years ago when we had a huge 4-Star football recruit here in town. I was at work, and my office is next door to our kitchen. A worker in the kitchen that I know pretty well asked me if I liked football. She started telling me about her son playing for all stars teams, and I started zoning out thinking she was talking about middle school teams, etc. Then she started saying "yeah Georgia, Tennessee, Auburn, Alabama all visit and call him all the time." That obviously caught my attention again so I said "wait...who's your son!?" She told me his name, and I told her "well hell I was just reading his profile on Rivals last nite!" So in this situation, I was heavily in the loop, she was so proud & excited and told us everything. I knew where he was going obviously 2 weeks or so before he announced. (Bama didn't get him by the way :(. Lol)

I found out Tuesday night that I just happened to be in the right place right time for a 2nd time, and I associate with a close John Petty relative. When we found out, we just flat out asked what was up., will he be in Crimson. They said it's maybe a hair below a done deal. I said what percentage do you put on him committing to Bama, and they said 95%

Take it or leave it, bash me if you must, but that's what I heard
