Title: Bama basketball hosting another big time recruit today
Post by: Jamos on August 29, 2015, 06:34:29 AM
Bama will be hosting another highly rated recruit, Marques Bolden, on an unofficial visit today per twitter. He is being recruited by most of the major powers in college basketball. He is also a very goods friend of Terrance Ferguson who recently committed to Bama.

5-star C Marques Bolden to visit #Alabama Saturday, per @hoopdfw

The link has him listed as a 4 star but the #4 power forward in his class and #29 overall. He is being recruited by Baylor, Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, Illinois, and several others. Listed as an average shooter but excellent rebounder with good footwork. I would love to get this 6-9 230 lb young man.

He is from Dallas, TX and plays on the Texas Titans AAU team that our staff has close ties with.

Good looking player. That would be another big haul.

Whoa! That tells me something.

There's a little rumor floating around that Ferguson said that he and Bolden would be at Arlington next Saturday.  :popcorn2:

I found an article on Bolden being on campus today and thought I would share it.

Would be another big 'get' for CAJ. (Obvious statement...)  Getting a couple of these highly regarded recruits will get us on the "map" in a hurry.

Just getting them on campus for a visit is huge but I think CAJ has already gotten some big time attention from the sports media and some big time recruits. There should be some more big names visiting in the near future.

I wonder if CAJ has a good first year if the pressure to win will be as big of a load on him as it is on the football coaches? RTR!
