Avery Johnson wants to add one more big recruit for signing class

University of Alabama head basketball coach Avery Johnson added a Top-100 wing player to the Crimson Tide roster last week, but said on Monday’s SEC Basketball Coaches’ summer teleconference that he was not through recruiting for the 2015-16 season.

“We’re not through,” Johnson said. “(There’s) going to be one more addition. Obvious you are always on the lookout for a big guy but we’re going to add another wing. Hopefully we’ll have that done by the start of the second semester of summer school. We’re trying to get a fifth-year guy, someone that has some experience.”

Alabama will have four newcomers eligible for next season and two transfers, Nick King and Avery Johnson Jr.
