re: Alabama Basketball Recruiting and Offseason Talk

A report today said Sexton's rebounding was great in practice

Also read an article that said during practice today he was telling everyone where to go and was making sure everyone was in the right spots. We really haven't had that at Alabama. I know we didn't have someone like that last year. Avery said plenty of times last year that he tries to get them to talk on the court.

I don't think he is a banger more like an athlete. Like Don't a Hall.

Reese is so soft. Geez. I hope the coaches can help him out.

From the comment section on YouTube, "his name is Alex Reese and he lives about 3 miles from me. He's pretty good, but probably the laziest player I know"

This is what I'm talking about. People watch a ballislife video and then talk about the guy like he's the next Lebron.

Reese, a big, had no business guarding Zion, a wing. The only reason he did is because Pelham's wings are sub 6' white guys. It's ridiculous to judge Alex Reese on a game where he had to guard a wing.

Reese had 20+ points in that game, and Spartanburg Day played zone almost the entire game to avoid Zion playing having to guard Reese one on one.

Zion isn't going to be a four. He's only 6'6". A guy like Marvin Bagley would beat his arse in the post one on one.

Well, if we can't judge him from the Zion game, and we can't judge him from the Alabama-Mississippi all star game. What games can we use? Just the games that he played well?

I've been openly critical of Reese's game in here including that all star game, but you can't expect him to guard a small forward. Do you honestly ever think Reese will have to guard a wing man to man for the duration of a game after high school?

The way everyone is crowning Zion when he didn't even play in the EYBL last summer is ridiculous. Let's see how he does this summer, and then we'll know for sure. Right now everyone is acting like he's the next Lebron because he can dunk on some scrubs in private high school ball and had several good camps.

Same shite happened with Andrew Wiggins. Both good players, but a cool mixtape doesn't make you a generational talent.

It wasn't just guarding. He doesn't fight for rebounds. He isn't a physical player. It is what it is. I hope the coaches can fix it.

I agree athlete is a better word than banger. I think Giddens will be significantly stronger than Hall though. Hall needs to bulk up.
