He didn't specify other than "this weekend".

Seems like we can cross him off the list

We're just being selective guys. It's all good. Jones and Akot were the real targets this whole time.

He didn’t have that blue collar mentality. It became evident on his visit.

I think it’s pretty clear at this point our boosters don’t give af about basketball. Freaking Nevada is outbidding us and they’re just sitting on their hands…we’ve gotta figure out a way to finish strong with these last 2 spots.

In all seriousness, where do we even turn after Jones inevitably makes the literal business decision to get an MBA from Northwestern and Akot opts not to play in college for a 7th year or whatever it would be?

I choose to believe that neither us nor Nevada offered him any significant NIL money and with all else equal he decided to stay out West. The alternative is too depressing to contemplate.

I’ve been saying it Bamafan. Oats and Hodgson have gotten pretty much every recruit they’ve wanted since Nix and Burnett originally went else where….and now all of a sudden we can’t land anyone?

Oats isn’t being given the Funds but we can pay millions for Football transfers. Oats is a really good coach and it’s gonna end up causing him to take another job

Lucas had a visit and there was no talk or report either way until it was announced he’s committing soon, we’ve known he’s leaned Nevada for a while so I don’t know why some of y’all are surprised. If we whiff on Jones I’ll get on the administration doesn’t care about basketball all of our money only goes to football and we have no NIL money for basketball bus.

Is there something out there other than him taking an official visit? If you're basing it on what that "insider" said, I'd wager my entire salary on him basing that strictly off of him finding out about an OV to Arkansas a day later than everyone else.
Ah, the straw man’s gamble

Might be overlooking the obvious.

Oats had a great year and then had a great recruiting class.

Last year we disintergrated down the stretch and no we are having problems recruiting out of the portal.

Those things could be related.

Once again we were a 6 seed in the NCAA tournament. Take out 2021 and that’s our best season in 17 years.

We play in one of the most fun offenses in college basketball

Jones and Akot are high level players. Akot’s offensive game leaves a lot to be desired but he’s a menace on defense. Selfishly wanted Lucas but if we get Jones and Akot I’m happy

I want players who wants to be here and not just for NIL opportunities.

Just be patient...

Defense is what we were missing most last year. Give me a stopper.

sadly that isn’t how CBB works for the most part anymore. As much as I love Bama basketball, if I was being recruited by them and they offered me $50K and then a rival offers me $500K, I’m taking that guaranteed $500K without question
