Rothstein has not been very good in his SEC scouting this year.
I'm not just saying that because he has us 7th in the SEC, which I think is worst-case scenario. But when he predicted our starting 5 and key contributors awhile back, he listed Reese and omitted Bruner.
He had completely forgotten that Bruner transferred to Bama.

SEC Preseason Preview

4. How good is Alabama?
To be determined. The Crimson Tide return three all-conference caliber players in John Petty, Jaden Shackelford, and Herb Jones, but this team’s ceiling will ultimately depend on two things: defense and point guard play. Alabama was just 8-10 last season in SEC play and gave up an average of 80.2 points during that 18-game stretch. While the Crimson Tide don’t necessarily have to be a great defensive team to make the NCAA Tournament, they need to be better than they were last season. Alabama is also going to have to replace a potential lottery pick at point guard in Kira Lewis, who a year ago averaged 18.5 points, 4.8 rebounds, 5.2 assists, and 1.8 steals. Villanova transfer Jahvon Quinerly — a former five-star recruit — is the expected replacement for Lewis and while he’s more likely to flourish in Nate Oats’ high-octane system than he was during his freshman year at Villanova where he averaged just 3.2 points, Quinerly is still unproven at the college level. Alabama has recruited well, headlined by freshman guard Josh Primo and Yale grad transfer Jordan Bruner, but this is still a team that had a losing record last season in SEC play, struggled to defend, and lost a lottery pick at the most important position on the floor. There’s no questioning this team’s overall talent, but an improved commitment to defense and a big season from Quinerly will be needed if the Crimson Tide are going to challenge the SEC’s top tier teams in 20-21.

Yeah, I said the same thing not long ago. He doesn't seem as knowledgeable on the SEC as others.

Sources: Men’s basketball oversight committee set to meet today. Among the topics:
- Whether basketball players/winter sports should receive an additional season of competition.
- Whether to change parameters of 27-game limit. Right now have to play in an MTE to get to 27.

Yeah he is also using PPG to evaluate our defense from last year. Anybody that knows how we play knows you can’t use PPG to evaluate us.

Exactly.
Points per possession would be a better metric.

And Oats himself said if we are in the #100-150 range in defensive points allowed per possession he is happy based on how we play the game.

We can only play 27 games this year if you play in a MTE. 18 conference so that means 9 Non-Conf.
If I had to guess:
3 Maui games
SEC/Big12 game
2 or 3 games at Holiday Hoopsgiving.
2 or 3 Buy games in Coleman

Isn't Holiday Hoopsgiving just a one off game or has it changed to an MTE/tournament type deal?
Posted on 10/5/20 at 7:53 pm to Chadaristic
I think they said that teams are now planning on playing multiple games and that they were gonna add more teams

Wow.

So Bruner,Herb, and Petty could technically come back.
Posted on 10/5/20 at 8:21 pm to mistaken4193
And Reese - assuming it does pass.
Posted on 10/5/20 at 8:21 pm to Chadaristic
Which would impact how many we can sign in this class.
Posted on 10/5/20 at 9:20 pm to Chadaristic
Honestly Bruner is the only one I would want back and that’s if we miss on Bediako. I’d rather move on from the final 3 Avery guys
Posted on 10/5/20 at 9:26 pm to Chadaristic
If it's same rule as football, shouldnt' affect the signing number for next class.
