We still need some beef, but heavens to C.M., this makes matters so much better.

For those who doesn't have twitter, Nelson committed to Alabama.

Hooray!!!! Roll Tide Roll!

 

[GP for Bama]

WVUA in Tuscaloosa reported tonight on the 10 o'clock news that his family has said that no decision has been made yet....

Here's hoping this is only a formality. The longer this stretches out, I'm afraid, the more likely money becomes a factor.

Honestly, this is just me. There is no way Tipton would announce that unless he got go ahead from someone in the family. we've been hearing consistently that a decision was going to be made on Sunday/Monday. I think the WVUA was getting their source from a person on twitter:

He's the only one who has been pushing back on Nelson and he's on Arkansas side.

I think it's more likely that his family dropped the ball.. v.s. Tipton Edits... there was communication breakdown... either way, it's unfortunate but hey, it happens. @BamaMike05, Thoughts?

I don't think that's the case... I get a feeling that's more of divided family. half wants arkansas and Nelson want Alabama... I may be wrong on this. That's not the vibe I'm picking up from statements they have made last week.

Not proof, but encouraging.

 

[CrimsonTitles]

To be fair, most of the reports have said "expected to commit to Alabama", so I took that as someone leaked it early, but if the family has come out and said "hold on, wait a minute", then that's a little concerning.

 

[dayhiker]

About an hour ago on Nelson's 247 profile it showed commitment to Alabama on his timeline. It has since been deleted.

I was actually told that the leak came from Arkansas and not anyone in our camp or his family. Which is actually pathetic on Musselman’s part. We all knew that he was a whiny piece of scum anyway.

There is no reason to worry guys. I know everyone has been hurt by Alabama basketball in the past. But, he is coming. There are a couple of formalities to work out. But we hate ie all. Grant will be in crimson very soon.

You, or someone else, recently mentioned that grades might be an issue for Grant so I assume that is at least part of the formalities that are having to be worked out?

Lookit, if he's had so much as a drive-by tour of The Lawrence Welk Homestead Historic Site out there in NoDak, he's a slam dunk for a post-grad year in historic and cultural affairs -

Been out of town and haven't been able to follow the Nelson news closely. He's thinking Bama but still hasn't officially announced?

 

[TiderJack]

If we land Kaluma & Nelson, the starting 5 will probably look like this:

Sears
Estrada
Griffin
Kaluma
Nelson

You will see Nelson play the 4 but we are moving towards postionless basketball with everyone but Pringle being able to pass, dribbleand shoot.

In fact, with Nelson’s skill set, don’t be shocked if he is bringing the ball down the floor some.

I would expect Pringle to come off the bench.

You don't think JQ will start or thinking they will keep him at the 6th man role?

If I was Nelson, I wouldn't announce. I just handle the business and pull up on campus.

From what I was told, he has to finish a class at NDSU. That’s all. Arkansas has already moved on and are about to fill their final spot w a transfer from somewhere else. Although there is some talk flying around that a couple of Ark transfers might be having some academic concerns.
