I would respectfully disagree. The most talented team every year for the last 4 years has been UK, and yet they have only one title.
So You Are CAJ, What Do You Want to Change About the Program???
- Thread starter BamaMoon
- Start date
Do you honestly think there's any coach in the country with an aversion to "taking" a one-and-done player?
The middling-to-cr*ppy opposition home games gotta go, for sure. Yeah, you might beat Mercer (or you might not, if you're the Alabama of Grant's Tomb), but what good's that do your program playing in front of 5,000 fans sitting on their hands expecting it in the first place?
Unless the SEC office has a rule against it you could schedule them in a game that does not count in the conference standings thus making it an OOC game.
We can still play them as OOC. The baseball teams do it with the Capitol City Classic. I believe the softball teams do as well.
UK has more talent and only lost 1 game out of 39 and it wasn't like they were blown out either. Even the best teams lose occasionally. Besides they had Cal coaching them that couldn't really help them. Wisconsin is pretty talented themselves, just not a much as either Duke or in reality UK.
Just read some interviews with CAJ. From what he is saying AAU is definitely a recruiting area for him. Also in state talent will get offers. Recruiting starts 4/15 but I would think he needs to see what he has and stays on the team first right? How many guys can he recruit. I am not that all familiar with basketball recruiting so how does that work. From what I saw this year there is talent on the team now. An elite PG and an offense that flows with options would be great.
I've always felt that former PG's make the best coaches because they know not only what they are supposed to do, but everyone else on the court as well.
^^^Nice! From a PR standpoint, our program has already gotten a huge boost in that every player and parent of a player will already know AJ from either television or his playing days. Heck, all you have to do is google the youtube videos to get an insight to his personality. The guy is impressive and seems to be solid in his knowledge of the game and most, if not all, of the NBA players and coaches. He knows the media from the inside. So, our new charismatic coach with widespread notoriety, passion for the game, insight with the recruiting process as a player and a parent with contacts permeating coast to coast looks to change the program. Is there any doubt he will quickly identify everything that needs to be done here? I think not.
Thank you. Almost all the talented kids play on AAU travel teams and have for years. There is a sleaze factor through all amateur sports -- the AAU circuit has never cornered the market.
You are allowed 13 schollies. We lose Levi and Coop and we currently have 3 commits counting Ingram. I believe we only had 10 on scholly last year so if this is the case we still have 2 schollies to give.
Recruiting is ongoing. April 15 is the first day of the second signing period for basketball.
Alabama has 13 scholarships for men's basketball.
Cecil tweeted this yesterday (maybe Sunday)...
Cecil says only 2 signees because Dazon Ingram didn't sign the LOI. He appears Bama's to lose, though. That would leave one spot left. Hopefully, we are able to grab a big guy with that scholarship.
