Nate going to runout some new faces come fall. Recruiting a talented and productive roster at Alabama is a very difficult job. JMO but Nate will give it his best for 3 years then look for another gig.

They don't have to be ready, the NBA would rather draft a guy as young as possible and develop them than a player stay in college til he is 20 then go to the NBA. This is why 90% of the guys that they draft early are Freshman. It's all about a players potential.


If it was about players who are ready to play from day one they would be drafting seniors, and hardly any seniors get drafted.

He is bad on defense, Not reliable at the line in crunch time, and until the last half of the season was just an ok shooter.


All of this is probably forgivable considering he played on a bad team. I think it would be wise to return just to show he's a better player when he's not the primary ball handler.

If we get Primo that will be three 5 stars we have signed in the last 4 years. (counting Quinerly.) Plus guys who were on the fringe of being five stars like Kira and Petty. It will be Oat's second five star in two years and that's with us not even being good in a long time. You can recruit at Alabama just as well as you can anywhere outside of the top 10 or so programs. If Oats starts winning here it will become even easier.

There are probably 10 jobs he would leave here for but to get one of those he will have to have a very good run here for 5 to 10 years.

He is very elite at blowing by people though. And I hope he does well but I don’t think he is ready.


No he isnt ready but he is 18...like taking a kid out of high school.

Petty put out the same graphic as well regarding going through the draft process.

I’m saying Petty returns and Kira stays in the draft

That's why I am hoping maybe Kira comes back; the only real NBA weapon he has is how quick he can drive. But I"m not sure you can make an NBA career out of driving the lane.

Creighton fans are fricking delusional. I use to think the “Creighton is our rival” was a funny joke because we played them in the NCAAt and NIT recently but nah, their fans are fricking pricks

NCAA about to drop the hammer on them anyway. They were caught up in the shoe scandal and they don’t carry enough weight to be protected. They will be made an example.

One of their coaches took a 6000 dollar bribe from an FBI agent to steer their good players to Christian Dawkin's sports agency. Didn't have anything to so with recruiting players out of HS. Creighton has never signed a player ranked in the top 75 recruits in their class.

Their highest rated signee ever according to 247 is Jacob Epperson who was the 77th ranked player in his class.

They will probably be hit with some sanctions this offseason over it regardless.

Bama managers have made a huge comeback to take the lead against the UK managers in the Sweet 16. Go give them a vote if you haven’t yet.

Bama managers beat UK by 0.5% to advance to the Elite 8.


We will be 6.1% underdogs against Michigan for a chance to go to the Final 4.
