The recruiting continues.
A week after Alabama landed its top player for the 2015 class, coach Avery Johnson said the Tide isn't stopping with four-star guard Kobie Eubanks.
"There's going to be one more addition," Johnson said Monday. "We're still not finished with the roster. Obviously, you're always on the lookout for a big guy, but we're going to add another wing player and we'll have that done, hopefully, by the start of our second session of summer school."
Classes begin Wednesday in the second term of summer school classes in Tuscaloosa. The last day to register for classes is July 6. Johnson couldn't name names, but was clear about the type of player they were targeting.
"We're trying to potentially get a fifth-year guy, somebody that has some experience," Johnson said. "Hopefully we can have an announcement if we can get that done."
The addition of Eubanks last week gave Alabama four signees for the 2015 class. The Tide roster now includes 10 scholarship players eligible to play next season.
To this point, Eubanks is the only top-100 member of Alabama's 2015 signing class.
"We're just thrilled that we were able to salvage our 2015 recruiting with Kobie," Johnson said. "He's a big, strong 6-5 wing that can score the ball and is physical at the ball to the basket. So he's coming in primed and ready to play because a lot of the guys he expected to play against is already in college so he's hungry and thirsty and anxious to get on the floor. But it was a terrific pickup for us because we were behind the 8-ball and really trying to play catch-up with the 2015 class."
