On 3 big board opinion of top 10 players at each position. Doesn't have Sears in top 10 at either pg or sg. Personally there are some names ahead of him that I don't think any higher ceiling than him and I feel like he was better than, but the selfish side of me is hopeful we get him one more time...

Fox was terrible, but I think Edwards was there under Crean, who somehow was even worse at UGA. Crean had a final four at Marquette and two Big Ten titles at Indiana and will perhaps go down as the worst coach in UGA history. That's impressively UGA basketball....

UGA was 5-13 in SEC play with Anthony Edwards in his lone season. This will sound like hyperbole, but his overall game is the closest I have seen to Jordan outside of Kobe. ...

Just gumped out and went to youtube and watched Bediako's highlight reel at Alabama and Omoruyi at Rutgers. Omoruyi is vastly superior in just pure athleticism and experience, probably has a little better hands. But I had forgotten how good Charles was when he arrived at Angry Chuck mode. Guy was...

[quote]Well that's not really how basketball works, but (assuming Sears is back) it is by far the deepest roster I can ever remember us having. No reason why we can't compete for a 1 seed and natty with this group.[/quote] For the most part I agree... Although I would argue 11/12 Kentucky and 14/...

[quote]For me, it helps pass the time during the dead period of football.[/quote] I think that's the difference in the two worlds. For most of my life as an Alabama fan there is no dead period for football. It's the same conversation over and over again. It's the same small world everyday. I l...

[quote]I'll be going full Gump if we get a legit rim protector, even if Sears doesn't return.[/quote] Likewise. I will be in the minority here, but I would like a rim protector and I will admit I think we desperately need to hold on to Nelson. In games where Nelson put it all together he was th...

[quote]Football will probably be alright, but for me, I've been waiting for this era of Bama basketball for over 30 years. I'm stoked.[/quote] Agreed. I prefer for football to still be good because the FOG natives get restless if basketball seems to be getting to much attention and the football ...

Im still curious about Naas Cunningham. The more highlight tape I watch, the more I think he could be a really impactful player immediately. He isn't a great defender, but looks really skilled and coordinated for 6'7, good hands too....
