“I enjoyed that visit also,” he said. “That was my first time around the players. I enjoyed being able to see all the fans at Memphis Madness.”
He will also be in attendance for the Alabama vs. Kentucky game on January 5. “Their pitch is they feel like they can use my versatility in good ways in their system,” said Watford on Alabama. “They’ve been on me since I was in about the seventh grade so we have a great relationship.” Watford has no other visits planned, but is looking to set a visit to Indiana for sometime in December. He hopes to make his decision sometime in the spring. “I’m looking for a program that is gonna me use me and my versatility the right way at multiple positions,” said Watford. “I’m also looking for a coaching staff that I trust can get me to the next level.” According to 247Sports, Watford is ranked as the No. 27 overall player in the Class of 2019 and the No. 1 player from the state of Alabama.
