Schaumburg senior basketball player Cully Payne received his release today from his letter of intent with Alabama. It was what he expected to happen as soon as Alabama officially hired a new coach, which it did Sunday with Anthony Grant from Virginia Commonwealth. Grant replaces Mark Gottfried, who resigned in January.
Payne's dad Kent said Cully is preparing to visit Washington State and coach Tony Bennett soon. Payne is also scheduled to play in a senior all-star game at Niles North High School at 8 p.m. Friday.
