Recruiting Update: 2018 3-star Guard Schedules Visit

Diante Wood, a 6'4, 175 lb guard from Anniston, Alabama has scheduled an official visit to Alabama the weekend of October 13-15. That's the weekend of the football game vs Arkansas. Wood is currently rated as a 3-star guard in the class of 2018 by 247 Sports.

Wood's head coach at Sacred Heart Catholic School - Ralpheal Graves - was quoted in a recent Bama Online article that Diante is in contact with the Bama staff every day, and that he has a very close relationship with Antoine Pettway. If Bama emerges as Wood's leader, don't be surprised if he commits to Alabama after his official visit in October. Here's some recent  video of Diante.



In other recruiting news: It's unclear, but it appears that 2018 4-star guard Jared Butler, whom I wrote about here, is either visiting the campus or is hosting Avery Johnson for an in-home visit. His brother, Drew Butler, composed the following tweets today.

My brother, Jared, has met Avery Johnson. He has spent the day with Avery Johnson.
