re: Tide Hoops | Please Anchor

Oats has gotta get us a big that can step out and knock down a 3. That opens up so much more stuff we can run offensively. Gurley was suppose to be that guy but disappointed.

evaluation

Big hits

Loss of Primo=scorer 3 point and inside and long defender
Loss Burnett not sure about scorer but a long defender

Disappointments

JQ lack of outside shooying clogged the middle taking away his drives lost his 3 point shot for the most part small wing span hurt him defensively

JD maybe asked too much not a three shooter as of yet poor defender but got a little better turn overs galore same clogged up middle due to lack of 3 shooters

JS fairly consistent although games where he disappeared lack of 3 threats made covering him outside easier same clogged up middle

Ellis decent year hopes that he would occasionally take over games never develoed but one of the more consistent players on the team over all

Gary was what he is not a shooter and often had to gurad centers over matched Gave all he had to give

CB not as develoed as we hoped but did seem to improve needs strenght lots of fouls limited time though not unexpected with his youth

Rojas gave everything he had just didn't have much and injries slowed a little. Had too guard centers over matched

Miles some good some bad a lot of nuetral shot inconsistent

Holt who knows could not crack much playing time when he did did not shoot well

Alex T big disppointment bad misevaluation?

Gurley another bad evaluation no 3 shot and very weak on he inside

Overall, only two 3 point threats and one of them couldn't hit for most of the year. Had to play guys that clogged up the middle which took away drives.

Small with little wing span for the most part on defense.

Poor evaluation of bigs seems to be a recurring theme but lack of shooters and wing span doomed this team.

I was being a little sarcastic yesterday but should have probably cleaned that up.

The program is back from the dead as it was when Oats arrived. Just getting in the tournament should be a great treat for fans - many stories programs sitting at home this year.

Really? You put Oats ahead of CM Newton, Wimp Sanderson or dare I say Mark Gottfried?

I think long term.. he'll be better than MG..but he's got ALONG way to go to pass either CM or Wimp.

I just want to ask one question to the people complaining....Where were y'all when Anthony Grant & Avery Johnson was coaches at Alabama?

We’ve been posting on this forum for a damn decade about Alabama basketball. You registered on 11/26/2019 and gonna come in here asking where we were?

Stop bro. You act as if JD can't improve his game with a second year in college. C'mon now

I like that lineup BIG BIRD but my only thing would be Gary & Brown are pretty much the same player so do you let Gary go to bring in another shooter?

He most definitely got to get a big that can stretch the defense. There's a guy in the portal that if he gets on the right team he could be very dominant and that's Fardaws Aimaq.

Btw he's dominant right now...

Is Brown in the portal or is this speculation for now? I would love to get him, have read his dad doesn’t care for Bama but no idea if true.

And you probably don't get Kobe Brown without taking his little brother, also now at Mizzou.
