oats and his recruiting

[oslim]

coach oats is certainly recruiting totally different at bama. he has kept his canada connections from his time in NY, plus he has been able to recruit really well out of state

unless some thing changes J.D. may be the only player from the state of Ala on the team next year.

That’s not a bad thing. The state of Alabama high school basketball isn’t what in once was.

you are 100% correct. you can not be a top team recruiting Ala. in wimps day there was a lot of talent in state. especially the Bham area. that is not true now. oats ability to recruit canada and else where has been a big plus to our program

I’ve been wondering why that is. Do you or anyone else have any ideas?

I think a lot of guards/small forwards are playing football. Look at all the long DB's and Wide Receivers/Tight Ends.

Sounds right but I was told once that legendary Arkansas coach Nolan Richardson claimed that all the great Birmingham prospects were now “out on the corner selling something.”

There are still plenty of good players in the State. Herb, Petty and Reece our seniors, are all from Alabama. Our top recruit next year is from Alabama. Alabama still produces some excellent players. If you could pick who you wanted every year from the players in Alabama you would definitely field a winning team.

plus the basketball coach was once a very important job. now many of the scools the basketball coach is an assistant football coach who is assigned to do it

That’s about right. In the off season CNO needs to meet with the Birmingham area coaches and try to get these kids back on the hardwood. Too much basketball talent in the Birmingham area to waste.
