I think Grant gets another year.
My biggest concern with CAG has been his lack of ability to recruit and develop post player. At the first of the year I thought Taylor was another project like Engstrom and Gueye. However, Taylor really improved as the year went on. His defense and rebounding got better but so did his offense. The last few games he was making plays around the basket that looked good. I'm not sure how much of that is hard work and coaching or him just getting used to the college game. He is a much player player now than at mid-season. A good off season program to put on a few pounds and more strength and he the potential to be a good player. He needs to work all summer on free throws.
Hale also improved as the season went on. He has a decent outside shout but he knows how to get to the rim. I really like him. We should see a lot of improve from year one to two with Hale and Taylor. Both need to bulk so they can beat and bang with the player players in the SEC.
CAG is looking for a big guy in the late signing period. See this link on a couple of the guys we are going after.
Click here for linkI have said many times we have three good freshmen and two transfers that will competing for playing time and add depth for next year. We will look like a totally different team next year. I see more balanced scoring in the line up.
No one is happy about this year but I do see a plan in place that should produce much better results.
On a sad note I hate to see Releford graduate. He was a 4 year starter and played hard each game. He has his place in the record books that show he is one of the better players to ever put on the Alabama uniform. I have a tremendous amount of respect for him as a player and young man.
