Nate Oats on Jaden Shackelford: "He's 100-percent bought into being a better defender."

Said Shackelford's also playing a lot of point guard to help him be more of a combo guard this year.

Nate Oats: "Shoot, there may be 8, 9, 10 guys that you think about starting. ... When we figure out who's going to start, it's going to be the five guys that give us the best chance to start the game well while also having really good options to come in and play."

Nate Oats says Alabama basketball has 8 or 9 players who could start. He says he rarely starts his five most talented players and likes to have "punch off the bench"

Nate Oats said the idea of an NCAA Tournament with all Division 1 teams in the field is “ridiculous, to be honest...this isn’t high school basketball any more, it’s Division 1 big-boy basketball.”

Nate Oats says F Juwan Gary has still not participated in live drills. His ACL last year was worse than James Rojas and happened later, Oats said, and COVID shutdowns affects their rehabs. Oats said it might be another month before Gary practices.

Nate Oats says Alabama is in a “holding pattern” with their non-conference schedule pending SEC decisions. He says he’d prefer the Maui Invitational — now in Asheville — not be his first games of the year.

It's refreshing to have a coach that speaks his mind and not give "coach speak". I love how confident he is and it gets me excited for this season.
