I think Norris gets more time than that.

Alabama is still looking to add another big, too.


Even if we don't add another player for the upcoming year, this is a much improved roster.

In the last couple of weeks we traded Coleman for Collins and I think that's a significant upgrade.

I honestly don't know about that. Coleman was just a sophomore and I'm proved a lot through the year. I think he would've been really good next year.

Sorry if this isn't new, but LA Tech transfer Dayon Griffin is supposedly considering Alabama according to ESPN's transfer list. Not immediately eligible, but as a Sophomore averaged 11.3 ppg on 48% from the field and a high volume 38% from deep.

Kalif Young's dad said he's basically down to Marquette and Providence: LINK

I'm guessing that means our roster is set for who will be available to play next year. Hopefully we can add Giddens for the future.

I'm hoping there's an Arthur Edwards of post players that we can add for next year. If Donta and Jimmie stay healthy, we'll be fine, but if we lose one, it'll be interesting to see who backs up the 5 position...

Really? I don't expect too much change from this year unless we learn how to rebound and came get more consistent with our shooting.

At a certain point a guy is who he is.

Coleman had some hot streaks, and maybe would've developed into a good shooter off the bench, but he was a major liability on defense and couldn't finish at the rim.

Look at Isaiah Thomas for the Celtics. Guys who have good instincts, even when they're undersized, can get in the paint and score. Coleman couldn't, and from his tape it looks like Collins can. I think it's a significant upgrade.

We're basically adding these players:

1. Dazon Ingram
2. Corban Collins
3. Nick King
4. Braxton Key

and our only major loss is Retin.

This will be an improved roster with a lot more talent. I think if they add Giddens for the following year it's a team that can compete for the SEC.

Adding Armond Davis too. He can score.
