re: 2025-2026 Alabama Basketball Recruiting

If you gotta punish him just don’t start him. It’s fricking weed. Not like he was out there snorting coke

Who is biz

FWIW the Tuscaloosa CO SO only list one arrest of someone named Holloway recently and she looks like someone RTRinFlorida would take home from the local VFW after closing down $3 domestics Tuesday

Hope it's just a rumor. I wasn't even aware police still arrested people for pot possession anywhere especially in a university town.

I'd wager that a lot more college athletes nowadays do weed than drink.

been told he was not arrested. Hope Nate plays him.

Yes sir

The other 3 aren’t playing at all until next year. They’re fully shutdown.

I recently had the opportunity to ask Oats about this through chat. He gave no indication that this was a worry of his at all. He indicated that he and the staff have an idea of what they want to pay for certain players and stated explicitly they aren’t getting into bidding wars for anyone. He also said he believes the appeal of Alabama is that the players will get paid a good NiL amount but the benefit is you will win, be about the right things, and be developed for the big pay day of the NBA I think we all worry about this stuff but I got directly from the horses mouth(keyboard) that this is intentional by him and he is team building not player stacking. Was a relief to hear what I’d already assumed.

Everyone go watch Oats presser that Alabama_Fan just posted and skip to 6:00 if you’re curious about it. He talks about all of this today at the press conference and shuts down any issues with NiL and credits our admin for getting us a healthy NiL package.


Just thought it was important that he mentioned it publicly after talking about it in the chat a week ago.
