Alabama signee asks for his release from National Letter of Intent
Despite signing with the Crimson Tide back in November, it does not look like Langston Wilson will be suiting up for Alabama.
On Monday, the junior college signee asked Alabama to release him from his National Letter of Intent in order to reopen his recruitment.
The 6-foot-9, 200-pound forward was ranked as the No. 2 junior college prospect in the country for the 2021 recruiting cycle by 247Sports Composite Rankings.
Alabama currently has the SEC’s No. 1 recruiting class and a top 3 class nationally after signing five-star guard JD Davison, four-star Georgia forward Jusaun Holt, and Wilson.
The Crimson Tide also holds a commitment from four-star center, Charles Bediako. The program has landed commitments from Furman transfer Noah Gurley and Texas Tech transfer, Nimari Burnett.
He won’t be the last to get processed. It’s a lot harder to fudge the numbers in basketball.
I guess your saying that he didn’t ask for his release? I also guess that his reason is different from the players transferring from the Auburn program. Nice opinion. Both uninformed and hypercritical.
Whats not uninformed is Bama is 2 over the limit. But if this guy goes, then still got one to go.
Serious problem with all these transfers. Get them signed, then see a better transfer on the market.
What’s next?? Open tryout camps?? Recruiting from another roster?? Throw paying players for likenesses and there is going to be an all out bidding war.
Not a good sign for the future.
I have thought of the possibility of bidding wars. But hadn’t thought of tryout camps. I wonder. Basketball is sure a changed animal. Everyone claims to be “loading up” with transfers. Everyone may be..but someone is still going to be losing while others win no matter the loading. Florida looks like they will have a whole new roster next season using mostly transfers.
Reasonable reply. Thanks
44 is always reasonable. 99, not so much.
The situations are complete opposite…so far from hypercritical. Bama has more players and commits than they have scholarships for. Auburn is recruiting transfers because they’ve got open spots. Auburn wouldn’t be hitting the transfer market if they didn’t have some unexpected transfers. So who is uninformed?
Well, So YOU can see Bama fudging numbers but the NCAA can’t???
I challenge you to take what you know to the NCAA.
You will be the man who brought Saban & Bama to its knees. A HERO!!
If not then we ALL will know you are just another tiny little wanna-be man whose failures in life have been exposed and are on full display.
From what I understand, there are many out there who oversign players. Not just Saban, not just Oates. This follows the Law of Unintended Consequences.
This transfer portal has created very serious problems. Everyone going to sign a class full of recruits, then a coach sees a better fit for his program, then someone isn’t going to get their scholarship renewed, or be encouraged to go elsewhere.
It’s happening NOW. And being practiced by a lot of people. And paying the players for their likenesses is only going to result in players going to the highest bidder. Not to mention adding multiple issues to college athletics.The heck with amateurism. Not to mention Title IX problems.
Mu guess is the NFL with have a D league soon enough like the NBA and they will pay around $1M after one year of college.It will be one and done for football.
These are major issues facing coaches in every sport. Roster management will become THE issue going forward.
Just a hunch, but if anything drives Saban out of the game, this will be it.
That’s not happening. The nfl has no reason for a D league and surely won’t be paying $1 million a year to players in it. That’s higher than the league minimum.
Excellent post.
Speaking of life issues…get triggered by message boards much or are you just 12 years old?
Whatcha expect? You’re on a Bama article making accusations.
I wondered what Saban meant when he claimed he was going to help the basketball team. LOL. JK
Negan
And thus, the aftermath.
Self-penalized U.
Scared of a deeper look.
One season makes us SelfPenalizedU? Dumb..
Can you blame the man? Who in there right mind would want to move to tuscalose?
Their* before you grammar nazis come out in full force
Easy answer is “champions”
And “Where legends are made”
RTR
@BamaFan86……..Just NOT national champions in basketball. And someone named Negan called the exact game you were going to LOSE!!!!! And miraculously you did!!!!! Who was that guy??????????
Oh sorry that was ME!!! In the same prediction I guaranteed an SEC CHAMPIONSHIP in football in 2021!!! If you recall. I said that THE SIGN that UGA was indeed winning the SEC in 2021. Was that when every expert was in love with Alabama as the new national champion in basketball. I said. NO, THEY WILL LOSE THEIR VERY NEXT GAME AS A SIGN I AM RIGHT!!!!!! Of course it’s always as God wills and he can still change the future. But Alabama was favored by everyone except ME!!!!! And they went down!!!!!
Therefore I’m sticking with my UGA prediction. I also said. After they win the SEC, then I would make further predictions. That is how I choose to leave it. But coming from a man WHO SAID THAT FLORIDA WOULD LOSE 4 GAMES. AND TOLD EVERYONE EXACTLY WHO THEY WOULD LOSE TO AND HOW! AND WAS 100 % CORRECT.
I think I’ll stick with my prediction. I don’t usually make UGA predictions or guarantees. Because of injuries and things like that. I just don’t like doing it. I’ve only made one consistent prediction about UGA. That is that they were the next DYNASTY! And that without injuries UGA would own the east under Kirby. Again I have been right. And UGA will indeed be the next DYNASTY!!!!! It’s only a matter of when?????
Well I’ll let you all know when it begins OFFICIALLY, after the SEC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME. That UGA WINS in 2021!!!! The SIGN came to pass and I’m batting 1000!!!!! So I’ll go with UGA for the SEC in 2021. Still and always God willing!!!!!
Alabama has been great. Like no other DYNASTY we have ever seen. But UGA recruiting and yes the way we played them. That put the cracks in the Saban armor!!! You’ve had an elite historic run. And your still going to be talented and good for a little while. But UGA was the legit winner in 2017! We were not only the SEC CHAMPIONS. Even though we were that!
WE WERE ALSO THE LEGIT NATIONAL CHAMPIONS TO!!!! It was highway robbery!!!! That game could have and would have and should have. Had repercussions every year since then. Because we would have been over the mental hurdle. Recruiting would have been that much better! And nobody would be telling lies saying, UGA don’t develop players. They would be telling THE TRUTH. That Kirby Smart has had one of the most successful first 5 years ever for any coach!!!!! As is his first 5 years owns Saban or Mullen or any other current head coach! Lincoln Riley has done alright. But he inherited the best team in a weak division!!!! Nobody wouldn’t be saying 1980 anyone. Which is all anyone can say!!!!!
They would be saying 2017 at worst!!! And probably more recently than that. If that title wasn’t stolen!!!!! Since my predictions speak for themselves. I don’t need to say/write a word. Except….
PS. 2021
Negan
Negan, you are everywhere! Now you troll on Bama basketball? How many hours per day do you spend on SDS? Do you not have a job? Do you enjoy trolling?
You need to let that 2017 natty go. Be a man and not a punk and admit that UGA lost. You sound like a whiny little girl.
You can go to Tuscaloosa where they win championships or go to Baton Rouge where they sexually harass grandmas then cover it up. Tough choice.
We will take him if he wants to come over to the good guys.
Nice to see two rival teams at each other’s throats besides the Dawgs and Gaturds.
