Memphis has made up major ground for 2022 5 star PG Nick Smith, and is now a serious contender for him.

Smith recently added Memphis into his top 8, and took an unofficial visit last week.

Smith was very impressed with Memphis’s coaching staff, specifically Larry Brown.

Larry Brown will be a difference maker in Memphis’s on court performance this year. Has always been a helluva coach, who loses interest in his job after meeting and succeeding its initial challenges.
Great hire by Penny.

Basketball recruiting is like watching a reality dating show.

Will someone please share the Rylan Griffen nugget from this article?

The Latest: Rylan Griffen has three visits scheduled to Alabama, Georgia, and Kansas. Official visits were taken to Kansas State and Oklahoma State this summer but it seems as if the Crimson Tide is in the lead for this one. Griffen and his family seem to be drawn to the fit and the attention to detail Nate Oats has shown in his game and development.

Last Prediction: Oklahoma State

Final Prediction: Alabama

I wonder if this is why things between us and Rodney Rice seemed to cool down.

Alabama basketball cannot have a season where everything goes right. It's just not possible. Last year was literally the closest we could get, and we still had key injuries.

Nimari Burnett, a 2020 McDonald’s All-America forward who transferred from Texas Tech to Alabama last spring, suffered a “serious knee injury” over the Labor Day weekend, per sources close to the UA program.

Further medical information is expected after additional evaluation today.

If we’re not taking advantage of Rhea and Ballou in the same freaking building as Oats, then we’re being stupid. I know they technically belong to football but just a little consulting from the leading experts in S&C could make a big difference.

Alabama G Nimari Burnett has suffered a torn ACL but tells me he's in "good spirits." Tough news for the Texas Tech transfer. Hopefully he can rebound strong and come back at full strength.

Top 100 Players 2021-22

We are BACK with the fourth edition of our Top 100 Players in college basketball, a labor of love that always brings out the best in both us and our dear readers.

The ranking process remained very similar: Matt, Ky, and Jim each assembled their own list of top players (this time, we stretched it out to 150 to ensure our Honorable Mention was sound); then, using a HIGHLY scientific scoring system (rank of 1 = 150 points, 2 = 149 points, ..., 150 = 1 point), we consolidated our rankings into the master list of 100 (plus HM) that you see below.

Ranking players is always going to be an inherently murky exercise. How big a factor is winning? How do you compare the 4th-best player for a top 5 squad with the best player for a top 45 one? How the hell do you measure defensive impact? The nebulous answers to these questions leave a ton of room for debate and disagreement, and you’ll see in our individual rankings that we can be all over the map on certain guys. Also of note: role matters. While someone like Zach Edey might warrant higher placement in a vacuum, we are factoring in that he will likely play 15ish MPG behind Trevion Williams.

As per usual, we will sort through the feedback on a podcast episode in the future, and we included who was high and who was low so that you can direct your own fury appropriately.

Enough intro - let’s get to 3MW's fourth annual Top 100 Player Rankings:


quote:

62. JD Davison, G, Alabama



quote:

A devastating athlete at the point guard spot, Davison should flourish in the transition-heavy Nate Oats offense. He should also be a nightmare to stop one-on-one, another Oats staple, and along with Jahvon Quinerly, Jaden Shackelford, Nimari Burnett, and Keon Ellis, he is part of one of the best backcourts in the entire country.



quote:

28. Jaden Shackelford, G, Alabama



quote:

Shackelford flirted with the transfer portal, even going on a few dates with potential suitors, but he is back at Bama and will continue to be one of the most feared perimeter scorers in the country. His smooth lefty stroke has boundless range, and the next step to his evolution is improving his finishing against size at the rim.



quote:

22. Jahvon Quinerly, G, Alabama



quote:

Turns out that a change of scenery CAN do wonders for some prospects (hey, just ask Quentin Grimes). Quinerly thrived in Nate Oats’ up-tempo attack, using his tremendous off-the-bounce creativity to knife into the gaps created by the Tide’s tidy spacing. The final month of his season was masterful, averaging 15.3 PPG and 3.8 APG on 50% shooting (46.5% from 3). With Herb Jones gone, he should slot in as the primary initiator, and his numbers could skyrocket.

3 guys in the top 65 and I think Keon Ellis is better than all 3.

I can definitely understand the argument that he is a better all-around player. It’s not a crazy argument to say his offense is better than their defense imo.
