Just saw that on BOL. This is absolutely massive for our roster next year. Last I heard he was all in on going pro, so this is huge.

Alabama received huge late-night news in the last hour(s) before the deadline to withdraw from the NBA Draft approaching, as guard Labaron Philon returns to the Crimson Tide for his sophomore season.
“I am thankful for all the support from my family, friends and Alabama throughout this process,” Philon said. “I learned a lot throughout the NBA Draft process and received a lot of great feedback. After careful consideration, I am happy to announce that I will be returning to Alabama for my sophomore season! Roll Tide!”

All of a sudden we’ve got depth length and athleticism in the front court. Hopefully we’re better defensively. Oats has a stellar record putting an offense together
Get Labaron on the Kobe routine from the Summer of 2000

Buddy we are gonna be sneakily really fricking good next year. And people are gonna ignore us and hype up Florida and Kentucky in the SEC so we won’t have that massive target.

Philon
Wrightsell
Bethea
TBB
Sherrell.
That’s an ELITE starting 5.

I would even go...
Philon
Wrightsell Jr
Mallette/Jemison
Bol Bowen
Sherrell
Bama will have a lot of tools to play with next season

And Joka we can be honest. Love Marks Sears and he is the Bama Basketball GOAT IMO…but the offense ran better last year when Philon and Biz were initiating it.
So much more shooting on this team too

Y'all went from gloom and doom and then a player comes back and boom were elite ?

I wasn’t melting like some of these folks but a player with the ceiling of Philon raises the bar tremendously. Its not unreasonable

I wouldn’t necessarily count out Holloway starting. I think we have the pieces to build a good defense around him
