Can we please go get this guy?


I'd rather spend $1.5 million on him than Mo D. That said, I heard this guy wants $2 mil. Baylor fans are fricking furious. Had a deal ready to go and his dad had him pull it. It's gonna be a bidding war.

Kentucky is in the position to overpay to get talent. Makes a lot of sense on their end.

It makes zero sense for them from a system standpoint.


But coming from Bama, Mo won't have a steep learning curve at UK compared to most coming into the system.

I really dont like their system. That system claimed the 4 best freshmen in the country were all Duke players.

Duke has 3 lottery pick freshmen and another who is a late 1st rd projection, how is that an indictment of the model?

It also claimed that Duke's 8th best player was only 32 spots behind Mark Sears in the player rankings.

Again, look at Duke from an NBA projection standpoint. That was one of the most talented rosters in the history of their program they just wasted.

The mistake wasn’t with the model, the mistake was their young guys choking under pressure late against a physical Houston defense who the officials let play.

Sounds like typical message board bullshite. I heard his wife actually hates living in Texas.

But, yes, I'm sure he'll be expensive.

Just for comparison sake, we were +2200 this time last year. So Vegas likes us better right now than at the same time a year ago.

Also those BYU odds are ridiculous. That team is not a freshman Dybantsa away from title contention.

I don’t think a coach that says “we’re going to run up and down with Alabama and go under every screen” is going to win 6 straight games against top competition/coaching.

Watching this Houston/FL game, our roster isn’t shaping up to be nearly physical enough to win a NC next year.

Could still make a final four if we get the right draw, but no way we out physical a team like Houston next year (or the UConn’s of 2023-2024, SDSU 2023, etc.). We couldn’t even play physical enough with FL this year, and FL is getting bullied in this game where the refs are letting them.

We’ve done it for 3 straight years against Houston We own them like Florida currently owns us.

None of those were ref’d like these final four games. I watched all 3 of those and while we weren’t the most physical team, the refs called things reasonably enough that we were able to run our offense.

Nate is 3-0 against Houston with 3 wildly different rosters. Our additions so far seem designed to address our struggles against physical teams. Between our recruiting class and the portal we haven't brought in anyone under 6'5".

I’ve seen some random Bama accounts on Twitter making Amier Ali references. Don’t know if any of it’s legit but interesting nonetheless

We have no clue how physical we will be next year but our staff is going for length and rebounding in the portal.

I agree with your length comment, but you can absolutely look at how physical the individual pieces are to get a feel for how physical the team will be. Guys that play tough do so in every system, and guys that play more finesse do so in every system. Sharell and Reid play strong, physical basketball…but a lot of the other guys don’t have a lot of film of playing through contact or bullying guys when playing defense. We definitely need Reid back and I hope we get at least 1 more alpha defender/rebounder who isn’t a complete hole on offense.

I'm in the Tempe/Chandler area for work. I was hoping for the other two teammates might give Bama a look. Sanon and Quientence.

Keep those and get Peat was their hope for Hurley. Wiffed all 3.

I guess we were in Ali's top 5 coming out of high school.
