Dowell Decommits
Reger Dowell, a four-star point guard from Duncanville (Texas) has decommitted from The University of Alabama, according to Dowell’s father.
Dowell is switching AAU teams this summer and wants to make sure he gives all interested schools a chance at his services.
“Overall this is such an important overall decision that we want to make sure that we give everyone a fair chance and give ourselves a fair chance to visit the schools and meet the coaches,” said Dowell’s father.
Dowell believes the same.
“I still really like Alabama a lot. The coaches are great and I had a great time on my visit there. This really isn’t about them but more about me and making sure that I didn’t rush into anything,” said Dowell. “I want to weigh my options and give other schools a chance to get involved. I’m looking for a school that needs a point guard to run their team.”
Dowell’s schools of interest are now Alabama, Arizona, Baylor, Marquette, Ole Miss, Nebraska, Texas and Texas A&M.
Tubbs to ETSU
Former Alabama basketball player Justin Tubbs is headed to East Tennessee State University.
I just learned this a few minutes ago while talking to Tubbs through Facebook.com. I’m sure a press release of some sort will be online later in the afternoon, just figured I’d go ahead and break the news here.
Tubbs will have to sit out the upcoming 2008-09 season since he’s transferring to another Division 1 school. He will, however, have two years of eligibility remaining after this year.
If you’re interested…
If you’re interested, here’s the link to the Golden State Warriors press conference where Anthony Randolph and Richard Hendrix were introduced.
Hendrix starts getting some questions thrown his way around the 7:15 mark. Warriors head coach Don Nelson says that Hendrix should get opportunities with his size.
Enjoy.
Bama Bulletins
OK, so maybe the title is a little unorthodox and corny, but I’ve got a good bit of time on my hands.
Sports around the nation is at somewhat at a standstill, that agonizing time between the NBA Finals and college football season. Trust me, it is agonizing.
Therefore, since nothing major is happening around the Capstone, I figured I’d just update you on a few things.
- Former Tide All-SEC forward Richard Hendrix was drafted by the Golden State Warriors with the 49th overall pick in last week’s NBA draft.
- Tide senior-to-be linebacker Jimmy Johns was arrested and charged with the sale of cocaine last week. He also bred Pitbulls. He was going to school for free, playing at one of the greatest football schools in America, and may have played his way to the NFL this season. Way to go, Jimmy.
- Prince Hall is back in school at UA and is working out with the team. If he is able to earn a spot back on the team, a suspension will follow, but the Tide could definitely use him considering the depth issues at linebacker.
- Nick Saban is well on his way to putting Alabama football back on the national map, as the Tide now has pledges from eight recruits for the class of 2009.
- Alabama golfer and SEC Golfer of the Year Michael Thompson will soon be earning money doing what he does best.
And that’s honestly about it at the moment on Alabama fronts. I’m sure it’s news you’ve already heard or read, but I felt updates were in order.
Less than two months until football season now. It can’t come soon enough.
