In Case You Missed It: August 2

Each weekend, we will recap the stories that came across the HoopSeen.com wire and consolidate them to one east-to-find space. Did you miss a player feature or an event recap? No worries. Check the link below to find exactly what you are look for.

COMMITMENT OF THE WEEK

Alabama doesn't let the good ones go. The Crimson Tide locked up Justin Coleman early and for good reason. The Wenonah (Ala.) star popped for the SEC school and Anthony Grant and staff have one of the best perimeter threats in America. Here's why he's a big deal.

JUST A MINUTE

Every Wednesday Justin Young unloads his notebook for his weekly column. This week he does some domino dancing. What happens when Tadric Jackson and/or Ahmed Hill commits? What PGs stood out to him in July? What about UNC's recent offer spree? Young tackles all of this and more HERE.

SEEN AROUND THE HOOP

Robert Alfonso, Jr. pens an open letter to those players who just got off the circuit, whether it was your last travel team summer or you still have some time to play in the next few years. Good stuff HERE.

JULY LESSONS

Justin Young spent the month of July on the road watching the top talent in the South. What did he discover? The mid-majors are alive and well. There are quite a few players that can (and should) help propel a team deep into the post-season when they get to college. Who jumped out to JY? Click HERE for the story.

Most years, Georgia prospects stay close to home. Rarely, do players leave the Eastern time zone or geographical conferences. But that trend may be changing in 2015. What players could be national prospects? Young dives into the topic HERE.

The Best of the South was a major springboard for prospects. Who used the event to jump into the national recruiting picture? These guys.

We were in Orlando for the AAU Nationals and Super Showcases. There was a lot to see. In turn, there was a lot to talk about. Notesbook
