re: 2025-2026 Alabama Basketball Recruiting

We clearly need another 5 on the roster and we essentially don’t have one since Williamson looks like the monstars wanted to zap the last bit of talent out of an already middling D1 talent.

Chuck is only gonna work if Oats uses him as a true Backup to Sherrell and uses him like he was Noah as just spot minutes to give Sherrell a breather

I think Oats was settling on that in the last two games we played with Bediako. Bediako was huge off the bench for us against Auburn but he was a bench player.

He's a top tier backup center but he's not a starter in his current physical condition. Too light to hold up in the post. That's fine if you want limit the amount of time he's on their best post-ups or if they lack one. However, he's probably mostly just 5 fouls against teams with elite size but right now our other 5 fouls at the 5 spot is not even playable long enough to hack his way to 5 fouls.
