Mike White is recruiting well. He has two top 100 kids (one 5*) in the 2018 class signed with another committed. In 2017 he signed two top 100 kids and another at 126.
He's ramped up the recruiting each year since his poor transition class in 2016. That elite eight showing last year was huge for him.

Honestly, I'd rather be 5th. I don't want 2 byes so that our next game will be against one of the better SEC teams. Right now Bama just needs wins because who they beat at this point doesn't really matter. We have a great resume filled with big wins. Just give me a "W".
Not that this really matters. If we maintain a top 4 seed in the SEC, we should already have the wins we need for the NCAAT.

sure you want byes.
If we finish 4th in the SEC, we are in and it won't be close

The only concern I'd have is that Bama beat KU for Sexton. If KU is offering $50k + and Bama isn't, well I don't think anyone is that good at recruiting
This is a pretty big stretch. We don't have any evidence that Kansas paid anything to Sexton. Teams that cheat aren't offering every high schooler they recruit money. If they did, they'd get caught pretty fast.
Davion Mitchell was recruited by Louisville, so I guess Auburn bought him.

anyone have that link that lists all the brackets and shows where teams are in all of them? gene?
Lunardi has us now as a 7 in Nashville. That would be great

I'm confused as to what you are referring to. Just a normal bracket projection?

Say you are driving legally, within the rules of the road, and you see a cop car, what do you do? Well you clench your butt cheeks and immediately worried, go to 5 under the speed limit and get a sense of dread.
The more Kansas is implicated, the more "cop proximity clenched butt syndrom" I imagine will be going on. Even if you are 100% clean, that feeling is still there

Probably so, but the cost of a ~#50 non NBA talent recruit can be fit in 1 envolope. The cost of a top 10 recruit needs a few more envelopes. More potential stamps to track

Some brackets are infrequently updated. Probably just a lag

One of those brackets has MSU in and us out.
Who are these people?

I think this is the case for the whole NCAA though. I think any program that has done any semblance of high level recruiting should be worried.

I think just about anyone willing to can put together a bracket. Some are on Excel spreadsheets. We should make a rant bracket.

I bet we beat Kentucky on Saturday

Will be an interesting game. They are a good matchup against Alabama and are playing in Rupp
That said, they aren't very good. I expect Bama to control the game and win, but it will stay close throughout.
Posted on 2/15/18 at 10:10 am to GenesChin
any guesses on the line Sat?
Ken -3.5?
Ken -3.5?

I hope you guys are right bc I could see us losing the last four as well. Tough finish to the schedule . All are talented teams. Need at least one more win

Brutal stretch to finish for sure.
Fortunately 4/5 teams are as Jekyll and Hyde as Bama is. That means at a minimum you'll be picking up 2 W vs High School JV opponents

Not to mention we've beaten 3/5, we are a pretty bad matchup for 2/5, and 2/5 are at home.

The ultimate Bama basketball moment would be us losing every game from here on out and finishing one game shy of making the tourney after all of us are so confident we’re in
