I mean, everything goes through the PG. No offense runs without good PG play, but I do believe the 4 guys we have on campus will do just fine. Mehinti is foul prone and the next guy up is only 6'8" and a freshman. Not that anyone we get committed to would be here until next year.

Yeah, between those four guys, I'm not terribly concerned about our pg play. I still think watts and Baxter are more of a 2 guard, but both should be able to handle the point if needed. I really, really liked what I saw out of Norton in Spain. I wasn't sure about him coming in, but that sold me.

As far as center goes, Haase really isn't looking for true centers. CJ, Lee, Mehinti and Cokley can all rotate there if needed I'm sure. Hopefully we see big improvements in the fouling area from mehinti though.

With this team, I think we will sometimes go with 4 guards, and sometimes go with 4 forwards. Hasse has the depth to do a lot of different things now. We will see what kind of a coach he is now that our senior class that was holding everything back is gone.

Next year CJ will be gone, so we definitely need to sign a post player. We should have 2 starters and then 2 that are able to come off the bench

It crossed my mind that we might see some decommits if Grant doesn't make it through the season.

It depends on whether they sign in November or wait until spring.

I suspect momma wants him to go there so no need to really think that he would change his mind.

I hope UAT is where Ingram wants to go, if that is where he finally commits.

He says his relationship with Antoine Pettway is what steered him to Bama.

Wonder if something bad happened after HOTH. He tweeted after midnight how mad he was, but he didn't say why.

Maybe he was mad because he wanted to commit to UAB, and Mama said, "Nope. I already cashed the check from the Alabama visit."
