Interesting. Nelson would for sure have a lot more freedom to play his game at Alabama.

If you want to go to a school where you can play free, win games, and improve your draft stock without having to worry about your coach taking his shirt off on the sidelines and dancing around like a Nancy then come to Alabama.

The University of Alabama board of trustees meet this week in Tuscaloosa. Nothing on the agenda about a new basketball arena again. It was last discussed last spring.

On the other hand you've got Jordan Walsh with this nugget:

Yikes. I'm sure their fans will dismiss it as sour grapes from a guy who was mostly shite as a 5* freshman, but that is still not something you want to have former players saying publicly.

heck, just show Nelson a picture of the moron Arkansas coach with his shirt off. That's enough to make a maggot puke.

I'm willing to wager the phrase "it's got good bones" was bantered about at some point.

He definitely has some nice highlights, I have watched this video about 10 times. I am gonna be sad if we don't get him.


Grant Nelson highlights - youtube


ETA: The last minute and a half of the video are some of his defensive highlights, I know someone asked if he was a good defender earlier.

I think even Trilly said he wouldn't be surprised if we got 2 out of the 3 of Nelson, Kaluma, and Stevenson.

To be fair they are all depressed and borderline suicidal because it's looking like Cal is going to trot a graduate level OTE team out there next season.

Grant played pick up with the team after a small practice. Said JQ threw an off the floor nasty lob to Nelson, Nelson also hit Pringle with a lot of nasty moves. But overall a really good segment of his visit

Arkansas AD speaking out against NIL. Kind of Surprising with what they're doing in Bball recruiting. I thought he would be for it.

NIL hasn't done shite for their football recruiting, so it is entirely possible that a lot of their big money people only care about one sport like a lot of ours do and it really isn't helping their overall athletics program very much.

that's bullshite. Nobody is not going to the MLB because of NIL. I'm not even sure if they doing the WNBA.

And honestly, the guys that are staying in college basketball are guys who would've been lottery picks 10-15 years ago, but now are late second rounders or overseas type players.

He can suck a dick. What's next, is Jimbo gonna start complaining?
