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.


Lee and Haas were the two best players in-state for the 2014 class and we desperately needed a big man. Both were brutal misses. KJ Mcdaniel and Craig Sword come to mind as well. Bottom Line: On the rare occasion when this state produces some elite talent, you better get them signed or you're screwed.

Neither one of these guys were considered elite HS recruits/talents. They weren't even offered by Bama or Auburn

No you don't.

This isn't football, you only recruit 3-4 players a yr on avg. It is impossible to build a fence and you don't even need to


Also, you'd have to have perfect scouting/development for the state of Alabama to produce consistent NCAA tournament success
