Lovell’s Analysis

Avery Johnson and Bruce Pearl battling it out for an in-state recruit?

There’s a shocker.

Wood may not be as highly ranked as other Alabama and Auburn targets in this particular class despite being rated as the fourth best player in the state, but he still brings a talented skillset that would be valuable to any of the four remaining programs on his list.

With both programs on the rise, these types of battles for coveted in-state recruits will certainly continue for years to come.
