State's top 2009 prospect, Nico Johnson, names leader...

[AndyBama]

And, it's the Crimson Tide.

He's been considered a strong 'Bama lean for a while now, but he made it public in an interview today on Coach Ronnie Cottrell's radio program. Despite being an upcoming junior, he's picking up serious interest from all SEC schools, Michigan, Southern Cal, and Notre Dame.

He should be in your "choice few."

Trust me.

It's really great to see the continued explosion of talent in-state. I like having athletes in our back yard that the Notre Dame's, Michigan's and USC's believe worthy of offering, especially this early. Don't get me wrong. I hope they stay home but its good to see the state of Alabama move on up closer to the top of the list in high school talent and get the recognition deserved for it. I hope we get every one we go after. If thats the case, the way the talent is flowing now, we should be on the rise in every aspect in the program. :BigA:

Grades won't be a problem. He is an A/B student. He is also a great basketball player. Plays strong inside and dunks with authority. Always scores in the twenties and rebounds in the twenties. Heck of an athlete.

Him being from Andy, the Bobcats no doubt faced him a time or two in both those sports.

What is up with that; he could NOT get Andy to hire him as their new HC so he interviews and hypes their players?
