'BAMA GETS A COMMITMENT FROM JOSH PRIMO...
Josh Primo, the five-star combo guard from Toronto-Royal Crown Academic School, narrowed his two choices down to Creighton and Alabama. He picked the Tide. Josh is 6-6 and weighs 170 pounds, and he is a five-star student as well. RC accepts four-hundred students. Royal Crown, Josh's school, has the highest acceptance into the premier colleges and universities in Canada. Primos isn't just a basketball player, he is a true scholar-athlete. Nat Oates has already proven that education is as important as basketball with his players.
Josh will be a key player for Alabama from the moment he hits the floor. He is a John Petty type shooter from downtown. His ball-handling is above average, but his defense needs some work. It is rare to see a true freshman come into the SEC and be a stud on defense but Primo is a hard worker with an exceptional wingspan. Kudos to Oats and his staff for getting this young man to ink with Alabama. I expect he will be next year's version of Shackford.
Let's assume that Lewis and Petty leave for the NBA. The Tide is still in a good position to be better next season. We will have Q at the point. Shackleford will be back. Primo might start in Petty's position. Alabama has Rojas and Gary coming in. I know that Oats loves the upside for both players. Knee injuries are tricky. If both are 100% the Tide will be a good team. Except... the Tide needs a rim protector. Davis showed some skills. A name we need to remember is Jordan Bruner of Columbia, S.C. who played at Yale. If Bruner signs with Alabama he will start and he will star. He is 6-9. He has the hops and he will finally give Alabama some size inside.
Next season I think Bama will have a better record. The NCAA will give us a bid. I thought that Oats did a great job considering all the injuries and lack of depth. I know that he is looking everywhere for the type player that can sustain his system.
