>From TiderInsider: Mark Gottfried's Crimson Tide basketball team picked up its first commitment for the 2005 recruiting class on Monday. JUCO guard Ray George, a 6-3, 185-pounder from Georgia Perimeter CC, announced that he planned to sign with Alabama in the early signing period in November. George, who averaged 21 points and 11 rebounds a game last season, chose Alabama over offers from Auburn, Arkansas, Florida, Clemson and Miami.
"It's close to home," says the Decatur, Georgia native. "I've known the Alabama coaching staff for quite a while. I've always liked them." George originally signed with Georgia State before ending up in junior college. He's considered one of the nation's top junior college guards. Roll Basketball Tide!!
