I could've sworn that Bama was picked to finish 5th for this season and the reasons why...
1. (2) First Round Draft Picks with one being Brandon Miller (who was the best player in the country as a FRESHMAN).
2. Alabama lost their top (3) assistant coaches to Division 1 head coaching job...

[quote]His three point shooting is not only significantly improved since Bama, but the last few months he's hitting at one of the highest rates in the league.

His eFG% this year just a hair under 60%. That's absolutely fantastic for a guy who is also one of the best wing defenders in th...

[quote]Estrada is by far the most disrespected player we've ever had in Bama Hoops online circles (more so directed at Bama Hoops Twitter). Even though he's our 2nd leading scorer, leader in assists, 2nd leading rebounder, and blue collar points leader (I believe), he can have a turnover or two and ...

If we win out we will be 24-7, outright champs of a very tough league, and have like 16 Q1/2 wins against a nightmare schedule. I don't think we'd need to even win a game in the conference tournament to be a 2 seed. At worst we'd be the top 3 seed.

In a vacuum I agree with you. Jay Williams is objectively worse than Jimmy Dykes. But we have to listen to Jimmy Dykes a lot more. I'm just sick of constantly hearing about Arkansas and I'm sick of him always feeling the need to pick apart the games of our POTY candidates while dickriding bums like ...

I would be a bit irritated if we lost Walters or Stevenson to the portal. Dioubate too, but less so because we don't know if he will ever develop an outside shot. A lot will be determined by what Nelson, Sears, and Wrightsell do with their last year of eligibility. If all of them come back it could ...

No thank you. I randomly watched one of their games one day and they play a style of basketball that I could easily see propelling them to being this year's Cinderella. Not much defense, but they played pretty up tempo, whipped the ball a...

Since '20-21 season, Aub is 51-9 and Ala is 52-6.[/quote]

[quote]I've said from year one, if/when he leaves, it will be for the NBA. Could a blueblood steal him? Maybe, but by all accounts, he's very happy at Bama and appreciative of the trust Byrne had in him. He's already turned Bama into a perennial national contender. I think Byrne will match any offer...

UNC absolutely does not make hires outside of the UNC family. They're really the only blue blood like that though. Duke is too early to say one way or the other, but the rest of that cohort will definitely make hires from outside the family. ...

If Oats ever finds a rim-protecting 5 who can shoot from deep (Brook Lopez type) it would make us virtually unstoppable. Hopefully Aiden Sherrell can be that guy.

Even if he's not I think it's only a matter of time before we sign a player like you are describing. If shooting 3s...
