Even in the Bryant era, Alabama was supplementing their roster with out of state players. Notably, Namath was from Pennsylvania.
Alabama is a national brand and really has been for quite some time. Alabama's greater reliance on in-state in the early 2000s was mostly a symptom of sanctions. ...

Totally agree. Sherrell is probably the more important incoming freshmen in terms of filling a niche. Reid is the better prospect but his roles mean it'd just be icing on the cake if he can't be kept off the court. Sherrell is ideally the real backup center even though Nelson probably ends up playin...

[quote]My guess on the rotation:
Sears / Holloway / Philon
Youngblood / Wrightsell / Mallette
Wrightsell / Mallette / Reid / Dioubate
Nelson / Stevenson / Sherrill / Reid / Dioubate
Omoruyi / Nelson / Stevenson / Sherrill[/quote]
Alright, added Mo D into the mix. I think it is possible tha...

I think the SEC should try to prevent the Big Ten from getting into the SEC footprint.
The Big Ten has some great names in the Midwest and Pacific Coast but the demographic story for large chunks of their footprint is slow or negative growth. On the other hand, the SEC is largely a contiguous re...

The big thing is going to be getting Youngblood and Omoruyi integrated. I wouldn't be surprised if there is a bit of choppy waters in the OOC simply because a good bit of the rotation from last year is gone. Luckily, we're talking about integrating major upgrades from Griffen at 2 and Pringle at 5. ...
