I think Harrell is as good as delivered to L'ville. They hired a coach from his school and "made the numbers work" to open a scholly for him. Word is they convinced some idiot on scholarship to pay his own way.

I'd known about the fire and his dad. That's why I never got to upset w/ him for delaying. I don't where my mind would be had I gone through only one of those.
 
100% agreement. Pollard has to come ready to play. Nick, Carl, and Moussa have improve, a lot.
Yeah, but I think we have an excellent coach, if he continues to coach and not have to worry about "clutter" that comes with immaturity and expectations. I wonder though where we'll be projected. What I'm glad about is our backcourt. He have the experience especially AU the QB (point guard) position. That is a huge plus!

I this world people become so jaded that sometimes we need to sit back and realize that these are just kids making decisions that will likely affect them the rest of their natural life. W

Good luck to the young man, May all of his dreams come true.

I really like this young man and I think he's the versatile type of player we need at the small forward/big guard position.

In my opinion this kid is the best player we've signed in many many years.

That's no knock at all against any of our current players who I think have big time talent, but this kid can truly be awesome if he continues to develop.

I'm very glad and thankful that he chose Bama.

Where does he project to play for us? At 6'7", his future in the NBA is at the 3, as a slasher.

I would like to see us get another true 4 or 5 this class or next to let him play that role for us. Regardless, I've felt we're a one and done player away from being a team capable of legitimate expectations of the sweet sixteen. I haven't heard that he's going to be one and done, but he's pretty close to that level of talent from everything I've heard.

He'll probaby be that hybrid SF/PF. He's better suited to play it that Tony Mitchell. Some say he is a legit 6'8. It that's the case we should be ok w/ little time in the weight room. We already have 2 bigs committed for next years class. It looks like we'll plan on adding a third.
