Green To Return To Bama Next Season

Leading scorer JaMychal Green says he’ll be back in Tuscaloosa when the 2011-12 season gets underway.  As a player, not as an observer.  Green says his decision to put off a jump to the NBA is based on deep thought, not emotions.

“Nothing is going to convince me to leave.  I talked to my mom and my dad and we made up our mind that we were coming back and (would) play another year.  I have more things to work on and get my education.”

Anthony Grant told The Montgomery Advertiser he was surprised by Green’s decision.  “He caught me off guard there after the game.  It’s not something that I expected at that time.  But it was a pleasant surprise.”

Indeed.

Green and the Tide face Colorado tonight at 9pm ET in the NIT semifinals.
