YEAR OF THE SHOOTING GUARD

At first glance, it’s hard not to notice the abundance of shooting guards in the 2016 class. The position is at a premium in Alabama, as five of the top 10 players in the class are shooting guards. It doesn’t stop with the top 10 either. The entire rankings are filled with talented perimeter scorers that have promising futures at the next level.

BIG MEN BRING DIFFERENT QUALITIES

Several post prospects find themselves on the updated list. All of them are talented, but surprisingly, they are all unique with their game.

Kevin Morris (3) is a tough, space-eater in the lane that isn’t afraid to get physical; Sha’Markus Kennedy (7) is a high-flying athlete that can block shots; Tracey Burnett brings versatility; Carleton Williams oozes with potential; Cameron Diggs has a skilled low-post game.

PLAYERS FLYING OFF THE BOARD

A handful of Alabama prospects have already made their college commitments and decisions. Three of the four guys have elected to remain in-state.

Josh Langford, the No. 1 prospect in the class, made his pledge to Michigan State in June. UAB went in their own backyard to reel in a commitment from Javien Williams a few weeks ago. Samford received a commitment from one of their top targets in the class, as Triston Chambers chose the Bulldogs last week. Monday, Austin Rogers pledged to Alabama State, where he will join his father, who is an assistant coach. Rogers’ brother, Steve, earned the SWAC Freshman of the Year last season.

Several other players will come off the board soon. Expect decisions from Reginald Todd, Justin Hopkins, and Darian Adams in the near future.

DEEPER AND DEEPER

The 2016 class is one of the deepest classes in recent memory for the state. Over 50 prospects were considered for the 35 spots. Of the 35 players ranked, approximately 25 student-athletes will sign Division-1 scholarships. Over 60 players will go on to play basketball at the next level.
