Title: Alabama Basketball Recruiting Thread
Post by: pmull on November 14, 2012, 02:03:38 PM
I don't have a link but Alabama commitments Jimmy Taylor and Shannon Hale signed to play for the Tide today.

Jimmy Taylor is a 6-10 220 lb center from Greensboro, AL. He is a 4 star recruit. He is the #1 player in the state and #6 center in the 2013 class. He is listed in the ESPN Top 100.

Shannon Hale is a 6-8 210 lb power forward fron Johnson City, TN. He is a 4 star recruit and the # 19 PF in the 2013 class.

I'll post a link as soon as I find one. Tidesports reported they had signed on their pay site. What little I could read was not worth posting.

pmull, thanks for posting this. I was looking for this stuff yesterday, but I got my dates wrong. Try this info:

Comments by National Basketball Analyst Eric Bossi on these two players:

 Alabama has a solid class that features two big men that are athletic and who should be able to help them compete on the glass down the road. They don't have to get a third commitment, but I think they'd still really like to find a guy who can handle the ball and make some plays for himself or others via the dribble.


That comment really dumbfounds me. We still need some shooters.

Since we already have a bunch of stickies in the quad-- maybe start a recruiting sticky in Coleman?

Cool move, pmull. These look like posts we'll want to save and maybe refer to during the season. Once we get into basketball maybe we can all get use to coming here for hoops rather than mixing stuff up with football. RTR

Tidesports article on Jimmie Taylor and Shannon Hale signing today.

Quote
Job No. 1 for Anthony Grant and the University of Alabama men's basketball team in addressing the 2013 recruiting class quickly focused on stocking up the Crimson Tide's front court.

UA did just that with Wednesday's signings of Jimmie Taylor and Shannon Hale on the opening day of the early signing period. Both are ranked as top 100 players in the country by Rivals.com.

I feel very confident that these two young men are players. CAG told us recently that he is only recruiting players that will fit into his system.  :clap:
