Alabama basketball signee Shawn Kemp will attend Hargrave Military Academy in Chatham, Va., this year in an effort to qualify academically, but it should only be a matter of time before he is in a Crimson Tide uniform.

Canton (Ga.) Cherokee High coach Roger Kvam said his three-year starter will be at the prep school for one year while trying to improve his ACT score, and intends to re-sign with Alabama again in the NCAA's regular signing period in April of 2010

According to BOL, Alabama basketball signee Shawn Kemp will enroll at Hargrave after failing to qualify academically. To my knowledge, Kemp was probably the best player we signed last year. And yes, football news really is that slow this time of year...

Yo, OTS

I don’t have time to google this Shawn Kemp cat, but. . . .he spells his name like THE OTHER SHAWN KEMP of Seattle Supersonics fame. Any relation? (if so, DAMN! That’s some serious pedigree!)

It's his son...

… but I don’t know how much of a relationship he has with him. If I’m not mistaken, the elder Shawn Kemp was pretty much the Travis Henry of the NBA when it came to procreating.

Oh shit!

To me- Shawn Kemp, Moses Malone, Darryl Dawkins, and Kobe Bryant are truly the only non-college basketball players to really have an impact on the NBA. I might be leaving out Amare Stoudemire (?) but really- what the above mentioned players have done at the pro-level is beyond reproach- as far as talent both offensively and defensively.

If this Shawn Jr is the real deal- he has the makings of being a dominant man in college hoops. Renardo Sidney at Miss St is supposed to be the next man child of bball in college. When this SK Jr comes to Tuscaloosa. . . . .watch out. Can’t wait to see him in crimson.

Kemp

was a nasty dunker. I honestly think he wanted to kill people with his dunks.

he most likely was

given that he was also most liekly hungover for most of those dunks. i’m pretty pissed off when i’ve got “the whisky shakes” too.

Yeah

but I don’t think those kind of shakes were what he suffered from, I think it was more of the crack-induced variety.

Its good to know we’ll have a steady stream of Kemps to look forward to at Alabama in next several years.

OH! and it's KEMP with the block

KEMP scoops up the ball and passes to KEMP in transition…and it’s a behind-the-back pass to KEMP – KEMP WITH THE DUNK – CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT!!!!

Whew…I’m definitely gonna have to be sure to watch all these games on TV when they start rolling in…Bama radio is gonna be fried!
