re: Tide Hoops | Offseason

We’re no longer at the place where we’re promising starting spots to top 50 freshmen, outside of the bonafide starter types. I doubt Perry would start either way, but definitely not if Sears comes back. Wrightsell or Griffen would play the 2 in that scenario. I think we’d grab a portal 1 to at least compete with Perry even if Sears leaves.

To me, this recruiting class could lay the groundwork for a future of Bama basketball where we get star players to stay and develop until they are ready for the NBA. We have 3 (possibly 4 if Perry commits) top 50 guys that could all realistically be backups next year if everyone comes back. That’s Duke and Kentucky level right there and it’s where we need to get to if we want the program to be a perennial Final 4 contender.
