Walker would be an intriguing signing to say the least. He's raw in some areas, and surprisingly advanced in others. But the bottom line is that he's yoked, physical, handles the ball and passes well, and he can jump out of the gym. We can clean up his shot mechanics.

Oats loves big PGs, Herb 6'8, Jeremy Harris at Buffalo 6'7, I am sure he has sold Walker that he can play PG some.


That would make 4 players from IMG if we get both, Darius Miles, Bediako, Bradley, and Walker.

Jamie Shaw is 50/55 for 90.9% accuracy on future cast predictions.

Geez, you’d think Oats is getting Burnett to reach out to Obanor about his time at TT. Let him explain the difference between the two schools.

Muss seems to be gathering some top talent in the portal, but he has a history of it.

Bradley, Walker, Miller,


If we get those three, or even two of those three, we'd better make Oats one of the highest paid cbb coaches in the country.

We seem to have a very realistic shot or even be in the driver's seat for all of them. But we have seen this with Alabama basketball recruiting before and it all kinda evaporates. Regardless I think we will end up with another great class.

True but this staff seems to be able to close the deal so far.


If it was Grant I’d have about 10% optimism right now we were gonna sign a 5 star guy even after getting two futurecasts.

That was under different coaches though, our staff now seems to be able to close the deal so far.



Agreed - Oats has a pretty solid hit rate for guys who everyone agrees we are truly in it for. Especially the last couple of years.

However, a few of them have been situations where we did a great job finding an opening with a talented guy for whatever reason (reclassify and we have spots - Primo and Frenchy). These would be bonified outside of the state slam dunk recruiting wins.

Thats gonna really help with recruiting if we get a player drafted in the top 20 two years in a row. Might end up being three years in a row, I saw an early mock the other day that has JD Davison going 15th next year, another one I saw has him going 25th.

True. I am pretty sure we have signed every player that we’ve gotten a crystal ball or a futurecast so far under Oats except for Beauchamp and ended up not even going to college.

Yep. Signing multiple top 20 kids over every big time program in the country would be next level even compared to the great success this staff has had thus far.

We also have a serious chance with 5* Nick Smith

Awww shite player!!!!

He didnt even mention us as having contacted him a couple of days before he released his top 10. So to have been maybe the last school to contact him, even to make his top 4 is pretty amazing and shows what good recruiters we have.

Obanor sounds a little like Obammer to me. Come on down big dog.

TT seems to be in the lead for him. Just seems odd.
