College Hoops Analyst Talks Braxton Key, Alabama Basketball

Alabama men's basketball head coach Avery Johnson has breathed a breath of fresh air into the Tide basketball program since he was hired in April, and he has been hot on the recruiting trail during these past six months.

On Wednesday, Jerry Meyer, the director of basketball scouting for 247Sports, joined Chris Stewart to talk about one of those big recruitment commitments for Johnson: Braxton Key, a four-star small forward out of Mouth of Wilson, VA.

Meyer had high praise of Key, saying that he's an exceptional scorer and has the physical attributes to attack the lane and finish at the rim, with his 6'8" frame.

Key is just the latest in big gets for Johnson and his squad, including incoming freshmen Donta' Hall and Dazon Ingram (2015 Mr. Alabama Basketball), and 2016 commits Terrance Ferguson and Ar'Mond Davis.
