The article said we have six who will be seniors. I am not sure about that. Levi, Rodney, Nick will all be playing their fourth season. Obasahon came at the same time, but was redshirted as a freshman, so he could come back. Ricky Tarrant played at Tulane two seasons, then sat out last season as a transfer. He would be in his fourth year, but he also could come back. Taylor and Hale will be sophomores, we have four incoming freshmen, and Bessent will be in his third year, academically. Best case three leaving.

Of course, in this day and age, players just plain leaving is not uncommon.

Who else is Alabama pursuing? Maybe 2 more G's and maybe another C?

We have room for one more recruit in the 2014 class, but I have not seen anything about us being hot after anyone now. Unless there is some rebounding machine out there, I would just as soon we not give the scholarship. 2014 high schoolers have been pretty well picked over. Perhaps there is a good prospect (juco or prep) who has eligibility issues that won't resolve until summer. That would be a possibility.

For 2015, assuming that Tarrant and Obasahon come back, have four to give, with two commits. I would say another point guard, or at least a two who can fill in as a point, and a big man for the last one.

I agree with psycho, we need to hold the scholarship and do everything possible to land someone to compliment Taylor.
