re: Alabama Basketball Recruiting and Offseason Talk

Failure to sign in state talent had literally nothing to do with Grant failing to build a consistent program. Mostly because there was very little of it while he was here. He could have maybe gotten one or both of Cousins and Bledsoe if he had a year or two to recruit them, but he had no such opportunity. Otherwise who could he have maybe signed that he didn't? William Lee? Isaac Haas? It would have been nice to have those guys, but they wouldn't have changed the direction of the program. Avery has gotten pretty lucky. Last year had a really good crop of in state players, and so does next year. Both are as good or better than any Grant ever got.
