It looks like all the players who were going to leave have left. Johnson also said that he will add 3 more players in addition to Austin and Hall.

The Alabama basketball team is down to seven scholarship players after guards Ricky Tarrant and Devin Mitchell were recently granted releases from their scholarships. But new Crimson Tide head coach Avery Johnson does not expect to see any more departures, as he said at the team's awards banquet Thursday.

I thought, with the Tarrant and Mitchell transfers we would have 4 openings, including the spot we're holding open for Ingram? Maybe he is holding out for the next crop.

We had 3 available spots before the two transfers. So with those it makes it 5 now. We have 2 signed, and I assume Ingram signs today (taking up one of the final 3 spots) leaving us 2 more spots to fill.

When Ingram was committed before, and there were transfers yet, we had one spot to recruit for. Then he de-committed (and has now re-committed), and there were the two transfers. So doesn't that leave three openings now that Ingram is back in the fold?

Correct, there's only 7 scholarship players left on the roster. You can have 13 on scholarship. We now have 3 signees so there are 3 spots left open. I guess Coach Avery is planning on rolling this coming year with one open spot. That makes sense because the local talent is supposed to be a whole lot better the next couple of years.

If he is only going to carry 12, I would like to see him give the last scholarship to a deserving walk-on player.
