quote:McDaniels was in the same class as Randolph and Cooper, who were both considered better prospects. Getting mad at Grant for not recruiting McDaniels would be like getting mad at K for not recruiting Steph. Sword (who wasn't even that good) was in the same class as Pollard.
Not offering McDaniel or Sword was a bonehead move that was ultimately more frustrating than our misses, especially since we entered the 2012-13 season with only 10 scholarship players. The 2013 team stands out as one that could have been really good. That team was loaded with talent in the weakest SEC I've ever seen, but ultimately poor roster management and coaching did them in.
Not getting the best in-state talent is probably the last reason that Grant didn't work out. He did a pretty good job of it overall; Alabama was just barren there for a few years

There'some truth to that, but mostly it was more a case of poor player development by historically bad coaching staffs at Alabama and Auburn.
