They're just upset that they're not in there; not so much about Alabama being ranked. They deserve some love at least.

Fox sports poll
We are at 17
quote:

Insert your own “wait, is this a football Top 25” joke here, but Crimson Tide hoops is going to be loaded coming into next year. After nearly making the NCAA tournament in 2017 they welcome back virtually their entire team, headlined by leading scorer Braxton Key and Donta Hall who – despite modest numbers this season – has the eye of NBA scouts. Add them in with a loaded freshman class – headlined by McDonald’s All-American Collin Sexton – and Alabama will be in great shape to make the first NCAA tournament appearance of the Avery Johnson era.

Maybe some love, but they lose their leading scorer and a second team all SEC center.

On a serious note, I hope our players aren't getting too excited about these preseason rankings. I don't want them going into the season relaxed and statisfied with possibly being ranked. We haven't earned anything yet. Being ranked isn't good enough.

Those guys just have relaxed attitudes lol. Can't help it. They so chill on the court.

Sexton's probably fuming mad right now bc our highest ranking is only 17. He's probably gonna come out on the court next year mad talkin out "Don't disrespect us by ranking us that low!"

Man I think he should give us so much pub during the season that it catches some good recruits attention. Hope he doesn't go overboard with the show boasting though.

I hope he calls Steven Pearl trash, but other than that doesn't go overboard

That's a different type of game though. I don't expect him to do that in a close game that actually counts.

Dang...hopefully we'll actually go after some transfers now. Hate seeing players leave when there's no one in place (that we know of) to take the spot

Yeah, I would think we would have to go after a grad transfer now if for nothing more than numbers.

In the McDonald's game? I don't remember that.

I'm surprised by that but I can't blame him. If he's not going to hit shots, he really doesn't provide all that much on the court. Hopefully we are in the market for solid grad transfer additions.

I don't know. I thought he was one of the best ball handlers and finishers on the team last year. He was a lot more athletic than expected with his reputation as a shooter.

I remember AL.com had a video of Armond hitting like 20 straight 3 pointers, and I was really excited for him.

Oh well, another disappointing player
