Re: **** 4* SF Dianne Smith Commits to Bama ****

Funny that in the Rivals article they say he is a three star, but in the bio Rivals has him as a four star. I am assuming that the writer didn't see the finished product before it was posted.

Re: **** 4* SF Dianne Smith Commits to Bama ****

who do we get Watford and Lewis and who else.
You may have more info than it do on Watford, but the last thing I saw had the crystal ball to Memphis. I think Kira Lewis is still projected to Bama as is Jaykwon Walker. We need Watford's size. He can dominate the inside if he is as good as he is rated. Memphis won't get him the exposure being the SEC would. Hope Hardaway at Memphis ins 't playing fast and loose with the rules.

I’ve been told Watford and Kira are on board. With recruiting, there’s no telling, though.

Re: **** 4* SF Diante Smith Commits to Bama ****

I mean, he is ranked #54 overall in the nation, so I’d say that he is a little better than decent lol.

Ranking does not matter to me. It is based on their high school career. I'm looking at overall evaluation of a player and how he fits with Alabama team. What I like about him the most is that he can hit any shot from anywhere on the floor and he crash the offensive board hard. he is not afraid to take shots. What I'm curious about him is that does he have that ability to play defense? Can he be a solid defender? What position will he play in college? Guard or Forward? maybe little of each? Avery stress ball movement on offense, and I see Gray averages little over 1 assist per game. What I'm worried about him is the ability to play well consistently because I don't think he played against good competitions over the years. John petty was 5 star and he struggled on the road this year. He had rough year... I think Gray will have similar experience.

Now, if we are able to land Lewis, Watsford and Gray all together. Then I'm wondering how will they fit in with Flemings and Butler next year. This should be very good team.

Should Gray signs with Bama... I'm hoping he will continue to improve his game overall. I'm still not impressed with him, but hopefully, he will change my mind soon.

The new Golden State model in basketball is anyone who can shoot can play. They can learn to play defense, but true shooters are not easy to find.

Have you heard anything about the possibility of Kira reclassifying to 2018?

Someone told me he would reclassify... I gotta check though. His coach just resigned recently so he might not play this fall and reclassify to 2018

I’m in Huntsville and actually coached against him when he was in the 8th grade. He was probably the best and most advanced 8th grader for sure that I have ever coached against.

Well, it works.

Better than Grants philosophy of offering athletes who couldn't shoot.

Last year, we finally saw what some decent, although streaky, shooting with good players can accomplish.

Hoping Petty gets more consistent from 3 land and Jones masters that 15-18 footer. That would be huge!
