Trendon Watford's dad Ernest tells me the Romeo Langford to IU decision could have a snowball effect on @Trendon_2 & other recruits. "He sets a 'blueprint' I believe for how Archie utilizes Trendo

I was told on Tuesday don't worry about recruiting. Interest in Indiana has never been higher from high school students. The staff thinks we will get someone better than Carton in his place.

Probably just to retract their 6 figure offer. 

 

You mean,,,,,increase their 6 figure offer.  This is the SEC. They are not going to let a little thing like the FBI get in the way.

How does one get implicated in a massive FBI sting and still have 5* recruits interested in your program?

I've wondered that too. Only thing I've come up with is that if a kid or family are willing to take the money, obviously they believe it's deserved. So if some school or shoe company gets busted for pay offs, then that sort of family doesn't view them as felons. They view them as Robin Hood righting some grave injustice. Hell, maybe it actually improves their view of that particular school.

Not suggesting that about Watford specifically, just been chewing on that a little.

5-star forward Trendon Watford talks weekend visit to Alabama hoops

Trendon Watford - a 5-star small forward ranked among the nation's top 20 basketball prospects in the Class of 2019 - made an unofficial weekend visit to Alabama over the weekend.

The 6-foot-8 junior at Mountain Brook left impressed after watching the Crimson Tide's basketball practice.

"It's a new atmosphere for basketball," Watford said.

 

Alabama basketball enters the 2017-18 season brimming with optimism, thanks to the arrival of the school's best-ever recruiting class that includes 2-time Alabama Mr. Basketball John Petty and point guard Collin Sexton.

Watford's visit was also his first since federal prosecutors arrested several college basketball assistant coaches, including Auburn's Chuck Person, in a wide-ranging corruption scandal. Alabama basketball administrator Kobie Baker also resigned after federal documents reveal he's accused of taking money from a financial advisor in return for pushing players to become advisor's clients.

Watford said the Person scandal is "not a big impact" on his recruitment.

 

Watford is ranked 13th nationally in the Class of 2019, according to 247sports, and he's one of just 23 5-star players.

Alabama's fans - known for their boisterous support of the football team - made a big impression on Watford, who has visited Alabama unofficially in the past.

 

"The fans, you see some crazy fans for football," he said. "It was just a crazy atmosphere the whole days. It's a great environment ... just need to bring it to the basketball side."

Watford holds offers from some of the nation's traditional powers, including Kentucky, Kansas and Indiana, as well as Alabama and Auburn. He said LSU, Mississippi State and Florida State have been recruiting hard lately.

He visited Indiana - where his older brother, Christian played - last month on an unofficial visit.

Watford, though, stressed that he's still early in the recruiting process and gave no indication that he'll make a college decision any time soon.

"I'm not trying to rank any schools above anybody yet," he said.

What did Watford see at Bama's practice? "They looked pretty good, honesty," he said.

I read as "The visit was ok. Basketball is improving there, but will always be overshadowed by football. The recent scandal isn't a *big* impact, but it is noted. It's still early in the recruiting process but I'll at least consider the offer."

Lol...What did Watford see at Bama's practice? "They looked pretty good, honestly," he said.

Translation: Y'all know that I expect them to kinda suck and that no one will really mind because, after all, it's Alabama basketball, but they weren't quite as sucky as I expected."

 

Wow. He's obviously just considering them as a courtesy.
