I see what you're saying, but until Alabama builds a program capable of recruiting nationally, we have to be almost perfect in-state.


Even if not nationally, there is enough talent in the Southeast for a solid recruiting SEC staff at Bama to easily get their share.

Recruiting nationally for basketball is also significantly easier than for say football.

Not offering McDaniel or Sword was a bonehead move that was ultimately more frustrating than our misses,



In KJ McDaniels' 2011 class, Alabama signed 5 players that were higher rated than KJ McDaniels, including 2 that played the same position as KJ


So not sure what you are trying to get at here

or Sword



No one expected Sword to be a good college player. That's why he only had 1 major offer in MSU

Not offering



Are yo uabout to start advocating that Bama use all their scholarships on the kids in Alabama other schools don't want?

A big part of recruiting is talent evaluation, not just offering the highest ranked guys according to Scout or Rivals. We offered Sexton before he blew up and got in on Walton before most others. Unlike our last staff, this staff understands how to evaluate talent. And yes, considering how thin our depth was during those years, Sword and McDaniel definitely should have been offered. No question.
