Oats will never be Wooden, Bill Self, Coach K, etc. but he absolutely can win a championship should all the right pieces fall into place at the right time and honestly, just being able to say that about Alabama basketball is enough for me


I don't disagree. I think he is really about as ideal as it gets for a job like Alabama. The 23 team was capable of winning a national championship.

I think people are throwing dirt on Florida's grave way to fast. They have been kryptonite for our style and Golden seems to have a pretty good formula against Oats strategy. Still think we have to prove it, before calling ourselves the front runner. Xavian Lee isn't Walter Clayton by any stretch, but they have been ultra competitive with the absolute elite in spite of him. They have a 6 point loss to Arizona, 4 point loss to UConn, 1 point loss to Duke, 4 point loss to TCU. I have my doubts we can stay within a point of Duke at Cameron. I have pretty serious reservations that we stay within 4 of UConn and we know what happened against Arizona. Tcu, I think we are a better team.


This is the correct perspective. FL in basketball and UGA in football are tops in the SEC until someone takes it from them.

I definitely agree. However, Florida isn't the other 15 teams in the conference. I think we're going to pile up a lot of wins in conference play tbh.

While I agree it seems this team has a ceiling that is not NC caliber for sure, this team could still be Sweet 16 caliber. That is not “a dud.”

It is hard for me to get excited about Oats' teams.


If you can't get excited about Alabama most successful run in school history, then why would you bother watching any basketball at all? You tume into 3-4 games a year, against only our toughest opponents, and then shite on a roster you know zero about. You probably don't even realize how injured we are right now. We probably have 3-4 guys sitting Saturday night if it was anyone but the #1 team in the country.

Just say your a foggy bitch that doesn't care about basketball. That's fine. Nobody's forcing you.

I bet you're a lot of fun at parties.
