30 minute Nimari Burnett interview from On3. They ask him what to expect this year with Alabama and he says "A lot of wins". Good interview.

Damn. Udeh goes to my old high school. We've had some good football players go to Bama, like Haha. But we've never had any great basketball players that I can remember.

Here's Eric Bossi from 247Sports talking about the potential for the 2022 class. Lots of good stuff here on Jaden Bradley, Nick Smith, Jarace Walker, Brandon Miller, and others.

Ask EBoss: Alabama's 2022 class, Cam Whitmore, and much more

Also, this may be my one time beating Chadaristic to linking one of these articles. lol

I actually had multiple questions about Alabama recruiting or at least related to Nate Oats and the Crimson Tide. So, I'll kind of wrap them all up together.

For starters, I'm not quite ready to pull the trigger on a Crystal Ball pick for any of these three big-time prospects, but I do think that Alabama is either the leader for, or at least right near the very top, for all of Jaden Bradley, Nick Smith and Jarace Walker. That gives you a steady point guard in size with Bradley, an explosive combo guard in Smith and a new age forward that is a big time athlete capable of playing all over the floor in Walker. None of these guys are totally done just yet and the competition is stiff, but like I said, I like where they sit at this point.

So who else could the be in the mix for? Four-star Rodney Rice is certainly one that they are in the mix for. I am just not personally sure how hard they will push until they get a decision from Smith. Virginia Tech is another I'd keep a close eye on with him. South Carolina combo forward Julian Phillips will be in the discussion for five-star status when we update the rankings for the class of 2022 and he included Alabama in his top 10. I think they've been making good headway with him and will get him on campus and once that happens, they'll have a legit shot. A couple of other names that I'd keep an eye on moving forward include four-star two guard Rylan Griffen from Texas and Ven-Allen Lubin a rugged forward who is currently outside of the top 150 but made a pretty strong argument to be included the next set of rankings based on his summer play. Another who is currently ranked outside of the top 150 who stands to enter the rankings is Florida forward Brice Sensabaugh and he's planning to visit in September so he'll be another to monitor closely.

The other guy many Bama fans want to know about is Brandon Miller. The skilled 6-foot-8 forward from Nashville has long been a target and I do think that Bama is in very good shape here. Here's the rub, though. I'm not so sure that Miller wants to play college basketball. There has been significant buzz that Miller will ultimately pursue the pro route and I've heard enough that I logged a Crystal Ball pick (with mild confidence) in favor of him choosing the pro route. If he does go to college, I like the Tide's chances.


Good stuff.

2022 5 star Jarace Walker has picked up a crystal ball prediction for @UHCougarMBK via @247Sports.


Dushawn London made the pick. He is 20/20 in CB picks for the 2022 class and 46/49 all-time.

I am not a fan of this whole Miller going to the pro route.

That's the consequence of chasing them five stars.

I mean, if he's good enough and can get paid, why not? Offer me $500k at 18, and that would hard to turn down. Recruits need to do what's best for them. It'd be awesome to get him. But it's better losing talent to the pros than Kentucky or another top program we compete against.

Though he has been here only a couple of years, the pattern with Oats seems to be that once the commits start, they roll out in fairly quick succession. I'm thinking of Davison, Holt, Wilson in the fall, then in spring, Burnett, Gurley, Bediako I suspect whoever of the top four or five guys we are recruiting goes first, others will come sooner rather than later. In the spring, Oats will likely turn to the transfer portal. I don't think anybody is going to be handing out project scholarships in the fall now that you can get proven players in the spring.

Kentucky will just go down the list to the next guy. Even if Miller goes pro and not to a blue blood it still affects us. I'm all for a kid securing the bag if that's what they want but all it does is limit the pool of top talent for us to try and recruit.
