Title: Tulane Transfer Ricky Tarrant commits to play basketball at Alabama
Post by: pmull on April 14, 2013, 07:43:45 AM
Good news for the Tide. Tarrant will be allowed to practice this year but he will not be eligible to play due to transfer rules requiring him to sit out a year.

Quote
"I committed to Alabama today," Tarrant said. "Its official. I just felt that was the best thing for my future. I have a great relationship with Coach Anthony Grant and another great relationship with (Alabama director of basketball operations) Coach (Antoine) Pettway and it was just the right fit.

Tarrant, the 2011-12 Conference USA Freshman of the Year, averaged 15.7 points a game, 2.8 rebounds and 3.6 assists this year. The Green Wave finished the season at 20-15.

Tarrant went 2-12 against the Tide early this season, including 1-7 on 3s. Don't we already have guys capable of that? (I sometimes kid Ricky Tarrant)

He wasn't offered by Bama out of HS, picked Tulane over Wichita State, Murray State, and UAB.  Should be a good addition, some of those schools have an eye for missed talent.
