Johnson is forming a formidable front court for the class of 2017 and under his guidance Alabama figures to become a force before too long. Clearly his NBA pedigree and “I’ve been there” aura is translating to these young men who are looking to improve on the court. Known as the “Little General” in his playing time and being the fastest coach to 150 wins, Johnson brings strong leadership to this Crimson Tide program.
The Alabama 2017 recruiting class is currently ranked 21st in the country according to 247 sports. The figures to climb as Avery Johnson makes young men swoon on the recruiting trail.
