CAG got his attention by pulling the scholarship offer last week. He is a 6-7 combo forward who averaged 23 points and 12 boards as a junior at Albertville last year.

He is our second in state commitment for next year. Last week PG Justin Coleman committed.

Well done coach. There is a way to get their attention and I guess sometimes you have to jar it a bit. RTR!

A bit Saban-esque, no?  :clap:

That is two 4 star in state recruits for the 2014 class. CAG is after several others. This could turn out to be a very good recruiting class.

We definitely need them.

I think it was a great recruit by CAG. This kid looks good in his video, especially shooting from the perimeter. It will also quiet some of the rumblings that are going around that Bama doesn't recruit white kids.

Rumblings?  Really?  European guys don't count?

One? UAH brought some teams to Coleman with nothing but instate white kids that played Bama to the final buzzer. A lot of folks wondered why Bama didn't recruit them. It's the same argument when there were no black kids on the team.

The video on him really is impressive. It will be nice to have someone who is a little more consistent on the 3 pointer.

Bama improved on their outside shots at the end of last season and  I'm hoping these guys come back and pick up where they left off. It's just a few days until they take their trip and I'm like pmull, this should add something to the team this year. We'll soon see.

I like what CAG is doing. Since the season ended we have added JUCO transfer A. Key. I think this was done to help fill the void left my Lacey's departure. We have added two transfers that can practice but can not play this year. Just having these guys on the practice squad will help. We have also added two 4* commits for 2014. That is five new good players into the program.

We have a good non-conference schedule. I think players like Releford, Randolph and Cooper can help CAG get the players focused on coming out strong and winning most of those big early non-SEC games. I am really excited about the opportunity the trip to Europe gives us to practice, play and gel as a team.

I am looking forward to seeing what kind of shape Jacobs is in to start the year and what the addition of new inside players Hale and Taylor can offer. We really need better inside rebounding and scoring this year.

ESPN has our 2014 recruiting class of two players rated the #9 recruiting class. This could get better since there are a couple of more top 100 players on CAG's radar.

This year may just be the year!  :popcorn2:

Well, we lost a lot of players.
But in bb you can build a team pretty fast. 
 :popcorn2:

Absolutely! Just look at Kentucky. The tradition-rich programs can't keep them for 2 years, much less four.

I see this team working very hard with the newcomers to speed up their abilities to play in the SEC. Releford would like nothing more than to have a big season as this is his last at Bama. If they can get out of the gate on a positive note, this could be a very special season for them as the newcomers get better as the season grows. I really don't see any attitude problems with the players coming back and that is a plus.

Devin Mitchell of Suwanee, GA will announce where he will play college ball at 3:00 tomorrow. He plays AAU ball with Coleman and Norris. He is a 6-3 SG and a 4 star recruit. This looks good for us. He has offers from UGA, Cincinnati, Memphis, K State and UAB.

Could it be that CAG may have found his pipeline to success at Bama? :think:

CAG is also after William Lee. He is a 6-8 power forward out of Plantersville, AL near Selma. He is being recruited by a lot of schools but it is coming down to UGA and Bama. He played AAU ball with Coleman, Norris and Mitchell. They said early in the recruiting process they wanted to play college ball together.

If we get Lee along with Coleman and Norris we will get the top 3 in state players along with the # 4 Georgia player. All are 4* top 100 players according to most recruiting sites.

I like what you are saying.  :worship:

Well CAG has had some time to get his contacts going. He had some good recruits at the last school but I just thought he might have good ones here. So maybe this is a sign of things to come. RTR!
