I have heard about this guy. I like it. What I had heard was Auburn and I think it was Florida or Florida State was also interested at one point, but upon seeing him in person, didn't think he was actually 6ft. But like I said before, short is fine if you can play... there have been short MVPs in the NBA.
We beat out a few of our peer schools for him, that's a great feeling going into year 1. The 2 that surprise me are Ark. Little Rock and UAB.

Great news!
2018 Hoover (AL) combo guard Jamari Blackmon was one of the most impressive players in Alabama's 2018 class this season, as he led the Buccaneers to an Elite Eight appearance in 7A with his high-octane scoring.
Throughout the course of the season, the 6-foot scorer entertained plenty of college interest after only holding scholarship offers from Alabama A&M and UA-Huntsville following the summer. One of those schools that showed high interest was North Alabama, and Blackmon announced his pledge to the future Atlantic Sun program on Monday afternoon.
"North Alabama just felt like home to me," Blackmon told HoopSeen.com following his commitment. "The coaches were very caring and are genuinely good people. The school is beautiful, and the team is up-and-coming. I want to help start something special there and build a tradition."

Does he reconsider after the news of not renewing the contract?

Does he reconsider after the news of not renewing the contract? Hopefully the next hire will impress him even more. |
