Who are we playing OOC this upcoming year?? Or do we not know yet??



Only one I know of so far is Texas coming to Coleman. Despite their dismal season last year under Shaka, they're probably going to improve tremendously next year and add in a top 10 class.

It'll be a good game.

I bet that's going to be the Birmingham game. Unfortunately it looks like a lot of the best OOC tournaments have filled up.

I wouldn't be against it being in Bham, but I'd rather have a better match up at Legacy Arena. Also, playing in Huntsville should be a must next season. Having Petty playing in his home city would draw another sell out.

Plus Kira Lewis is the class of 2019 is from Hazel Green which is just North of Huntsville on the Tennessee line. I'm hoping we play a good Tennessee team in Huntsville like Memphis, MTSU, or Chattanooga.

I think we should play every OOC game over winter break somewhere other than Coleman.

Al Durham (2017 Guard) has requested his release from Indiana. He was recruited by Alabama before and he was Collin Sexton's AAU teammate.

Wonder if we'll have any interest?

I added him to the possible arrivals list. I'd rather us get guys who are eligible immediately though. I really think next year is vital because of that 2019 class of recruits.

He would be eligible immediately wouldn't he? He's a 2017 recruit who is asking out of his LOI to Indiana I think

He'll be eligible, but I'd hope we would try to go after a graduate transfer instead of a borderline high major prospect.

Elijah Brown from UNM is transferring and will be a grade transfer. No connection but would be nice to have a proven scorer on the wing. Averaged 18 points over game last season.

I'd be happy to have him depending on how many spots we have, but he's a volume scorer. He only shot about 37%.

Another guy to keep an eye on is Mark Smith. Bob Simon followed him on twitter. He's a class of 2017 kid so he would be eligible immediately. He's a 6'5 PG who is in the 3/4 star range. Also the Gatorade Player of the Year in Illinois. He hasn't committed anywhere yet and his crystal ball says 100% Northwestern so I bet they'll get him, especially after the season they had. It's still someone to keep an eye on.

Wow just looked at that kids film. That kid is a basketball player. Would love for us to have him. He would get immediate pt IMO. Doesn't look like he has to many weaknesses. Happy to see that we are still looking for players.
