Coach Nate Oats has a big recruiting weekend ahead. No. 1 prospect A.J. Dybantsa will be joined by two more five-star prospects when he visits the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Alabama fans are excited to see its new lineup and Oats got them more thrilled after he said that the new roster is a "luxury:"
“We’ve got the most depth that we’ve had since I’ve been here,” Oats said via Montgomery Advertiser. “It’s a luxury, but it’s also a problem because you’ve got to figure out minutes, but I think we’ve got great kids that are all about winning.”
