You just bought a lemon. The kid is not an SEC caliber player. He is small. He is weak. He can't finish at the rim. You saw everything I said about him, a few days ago, in that video. He loves the dribble. He can't finish around the rim. He plays no defense. He turned into a backup for us..........behind Tre Donaldson. There is a long list of McDonald's All American busts...............just as long as Elite 11 QB's.
But congrats on taking a kid Auburn put absolutely no effort in trying to keep.

I believed (and still do) that Aden has potential.
But that is all he has shown.
Potential.
He is not a guy with a strong desire and a strong will. This will be his 5th school in 5 years.
Currently, he looks like a baby, plays like a baby, and behaves (off court) like a baby.
Maybe Oats can change him. But if it does not go (very well) very early - he will be looking for another change. I am surprised he did not choose a school out west with softer laws on the devils lettuce.
He has no chest.

They will find out what I saw watching every minute of the season. He should have gone to a mid-major where the athletic ability isn't what it is at a P5/SEC school. More than likely, he will be transferring again next year.

If he gets more minutes than power to him, he sure wasn’t getting more at Auburn.

The kid turned into a backup..........behind Tre Donaldson.........but I am coping?

Odd fit for Bama. Did they take him just to piss off Auburn?

5* mercenary that doesn’t play well with others. Sounds more like a Cal recruit to be honest

He's a solid back up in the SEC at the very least. He's not really a lemon since players just stay for 1 season now and leave. To me it's a win-win for Alabama due to at least having some decent depth for a season.

Did you watch him play? He wasn't close to a "solid backup" behind a mediocre at best PG.
quote:
Holloway started that game and shot 0-for-7, including 0-for-5 on three-pointers. The message from Oats: his team would not be as fortunate when it played two weeks later at Auburn's Neville Arena.
"We'll see a better version of them," Oats said of Auburn. "Holloway is going to play better."
quote:
Oats was certainly right about Auburn, which pummeled Alabama by 18 points on February 7. But his optimism about Holloway did not pan out, as the freshman came off the bench to shoot only 1-of-6, including 1-of-5 on threes, in the rematch against Alabama. That was part of a dwindling role for the No. 16 overall recruit in the 2023 class, who played in only 13 minutes of Auburn's NCAA tournament first-round loss to Yale, shooting 1-of-5.
quote:
This year at Auburn, it was a major surprise to see him only shoot 30% from behind the arc, despite getting steady volume with nearly 5 attempts per game, which accounted for two-third of his total field goal attempts.
Part of the reason why his shooting failed to translate as expected, is that he was unable to make opposing defenders pay for taking away the arc. Holloway has always been somewhat undersized without the elite level explosiveness to compensate, but he had significant struggles finishing plays at the rim this year in the SEC, converting at just a 26% rate per Pivot Analysis. His pull-up game is plenty capable, but it was relatively non-existent this year with only 18 attempts in 35 games.
quote:
Defensively, there were times where he was overmatched physically, specifically in isolations, and other times when he had some typical freshman growing pains. The metrics bare this out as Auburn's defense was better with him off the floor, but there's enough competitiveness and awareness that he should be fine long-term so long as he isn't mismatched against notably bigger or more explosive guards."

He’ll have to overcome adversity caused during his first year of college ball.

everybody to blame but him. It wasn't his fault he shot 30% from 3 and 26% around the rim.
