Top 100 Prospect Jaylen Forbes Commits To Alabama

Avery Johnson picked up a second commitment in the class of 2019 on Thursday when Top 100 prospect Jaylen Forbes committed to the program. Forbes is a 6'5 guard from Florence, Mississippi. 247 rates him as a 4-star prospect and the 2nd ranked player in the state. There's a long way to go with this recruiting class, but you have to be encouraged as a fan so far with two top 100 prospects already on board.

I like what I've seen of Forbes so far. You have to take highlight videos with a grain of salt, but if he shoots the ball as well as he does in the video below, he'll have a chance to play early and often. He's got the length that Avery seems to prefer in his guards, and looks the part physically. 

Second commitment today for an SEC program that replenishes a wing need following a respective decommitment. Forbes should be a good one for Alabama. Averaged over three made 3s on the Nike circuit this summer https://t.co/uPgZiIotpC
