Right, I know we havent been expecting him to play for medical reasons. But to me, it makes it sound like he might transfer and play somewhere else, which would really surprise me.

If it's for playing reasons, it would also make sense. He probably expected to start, but obviously that wasn't happening anymore regardless of his health. On our end, we traded a four star for a five star.

I wonder if its because our medical staff wont clear him and he wants to find someone who will. Good Luck to the kid and hopefully he can play one day

He's already picked Baylor. So we will see him this year if he can play.

Why did we release him to a team on our schedule?

Would hate to see them clear him and then something happen to him. Wasn't it speculated that this might be a heart related issue?

Yeah, someone posted irregular heartbeat. I would hate for them to clear him and him end up like Hank Gathers or the G-League player that died a couple of months ago. Thats something you dont mess around with.

His top 5 isn't made up of blue bloods either. Makes me a little more pissed that we didn't make it in.

Zona, Oregon, LSU, Florida, Miami.

could see that if the non-conference schedule was the issue


There usually are a couple non conference games left to line up everyone year.

Does TV have any input?


TV plays a role for sure. Trying to stay flexible on when a game occurs can get you on tv for a slow slot

That's not what I'm hearing at all. Everyone I know is hyped about that video with the only negative being that the capacity may be too small.


To be fair, the people I talked to are very casual Bama bball fans relative to this board. Wouldn't be shocked if they had never seen the plans

Assuming Bama was willing to honor his scholarship as a medical hardship, I wish he would just stay at Bama.


Don't mess with these heart issues on the court.

I'm more upset that we backed off of him. Hard to land a guy when you ghost him until he becomes popular.

So much for all the rumors that we were a top contender.

Ah crap, a PG gone. Worst thing about this is that Avery Jr. will have minutes now

Was Jared Butler here all summer conditioning? This is very strange to me
