I know man, just messing with you. Honestly having a few knowledgeable rival fans like you around is good for the conversation. There is a similar Arkansas fan around from time to time. Name is slipping my mind.

I know we entered a "new era" of Alabama basketball when Avery was let go and Oats was hired, but it really will feel like a "new era" next season without Herb, Petty and Reese in uniform.

If Rasheed Wallace became UNC's next head coach I'd have a new second favorite team. He'd probably get ejected from his first game. It'd be glorious.

Most Auburn fans stopped talking about basketball and then came back out the night we lost so this should be no surprise

So far. Like I said, I think the NCAA is going to balk at making one time, no questions asked waivers a permanent thing because of how out of control transfers have gotten this year. All these dudes seemingly leaving their programs for no reason at all are fricking all the future players who have legit reasons for wanting to transfer.

The Division I Council, the NCAA’s primary legislative body made up mostly of school athletic administrators, met Thursday to iron out details of the landmark legislation, which reverses a policy from the 1960s. The group is expected to meet April 15 to approve the measure, sources told Sports Illustrated. The new transfer legislation would go into effect immediately after it is approved by the NCAA Board of Governors.
Under current transfer rules, athletes in five sports, including football and men's and women's basketball, are ineligible in the first year they transfer unless they receive a waiver. The new rule would allow all athletes to move freely at least once, though it includes some stipulations. Athletes must submit notification of transfer by certain dates to be eligible at their next location.
“Students ought to have that ability to transfer once during their career and I understand the complexity that creates for coaches and roster management, but I think it is overdue we provide that flexibility,” Mark Emmert says.
What he did not mention is that the driving force behind the latest progressive rule changes from the NCAA is, likely, Congress. The NCAA is desperately lobbying Congress to create a federal bill to govern name, image and likeness (NIL) and preempt a bevy of state laws that are being hurriedly passed. Because of this, the organization finds itself at the mercy of Congressional members who, on both sides of the aisle, are publicly skewering the association’s amateurism model and pushing for progressive changes, such as the transfer policy.
“What I’ve heard about the conversation with Mark Emmert is a clear sign of lack of leadership,” Sen. Richard Blumenthall (D-Conn.) said earlier Thursday. “He says he wants Congress to help him—well, we’re going to give him hell.”
Intra-conference transfers are another sticking point. Many leagues force players to sit a year when moving from one conference school to another. Conferences would have to adjust their own rules to mirror the NCAA’s new change.

Only ones that seem slightly off, are Quinerly's rankings. I wonder if they were thrown off from since bad games early in the season. It's be interesting to see those stats vs Top 75/100, but only after January. I wonder if his rankings would rise significantly.

Mind blowing to see Herb taking so many 3s when he is the worst at them

Agreed. I think we're going to have more of the two things we lacked the most this year - more of an inside game from the bigs, and a better finishers at the rim from the guards.
So... This season's biggest offensive flaws? Sounds good to me.
Only concern is going to be the lost defensive talent. We won a lot of games because our defense let us hang in kind enough to get hot and close out games. But Ellis was one of the best rated in the SEC this year (top 4ish). So hopefully he'll continue to improve, and become our new elite lock down defender.
