How long do we have to sign a big man for the 2016 class?
Posted on 1/31/16 at 3:00 pm to Bamafan15
Signing period doesn't start until mid April?

Oh ok. This is my first year really following basketball recruiting so I needed to know

big man
Would love to get someone with a talent for scoring.
Taylor has 0 offensive game unless he finds himself open for a dunk. Pretty obvious Erwin got all the talent in that dept.
Kessens is soft as Charmin, and commits terrible fouls much like Taylor, but can hit a free throw on occasion.
Still, it's picking a lesser of evils so to speak.
I believe Hall is trending up for more minutes. He at least provides a semblance of defense and rebounding, and runs the floor well.

I was fooled by the early record the women had.

Alabama is so awful vs Tennessee in women's basketball. Compare it a lot to how Auburn is against us in gymnastics.

Next game is tomorrow night at 9:00 EST against Mississippi State on the SECN.

Had such a weird dream of Alabama winning it all in the tournament and won it all over than none other than the LSU Tigers. We hadn't beaten them, this was our first ever final four, and LSU was confident. We were up by 20 with 3 minutes to go and naturally let them pull within 1 with 5 seconds remaining. Norris didn't inbound the pass and turned it over, LSU took a shot, and missed. Chaos ensued, everyone went to this weird new bar downtown called "The Bama Bound" and some rich Asian guy came in taking pics, handing out pens with $5 taped to it.

This happens every year. They play a weak OOC and it shows when they get to league play.

They do seem to be better, though, Tennessee result not withstanding.
They have played mostly competitive league games and beaten a few teams with a pulse. It's a low bar, but the last 7 years or so have been so bad that it is an improvement.

As long as Johnny Jones is HC at LSU, I don't see that happening. My god can you recall the specifics of a dream though.

Hiring Wendell Hudson set them back at least five years. We've had quality wins the last two years over Kentucky and should've had a win over aTm last week. I like Curry, but I just want to see them above .500 in the SEC. As it stands, we're 2-7 with only two of our losses being within 10 points.

Yea, they have improved since last year when we played like all freshmen.
2013 (last year pre Curry) : 13-18 (2-14), RPI 167, NPI 181
2014 (first year Curry) : 14-16 (7-9), RPI 80, NPI 148
2015 : 13-19 (2-14), RPI 198, NPI 223
2016 : 13-9 (2-7), RPI 143, NPI 130
So, advanced stats wise this is the best team she has had, and our top 4 scorers are all Sophomores (and didn't our best player get hurt early or in the presseason or something?).

She has an undisclosed medical reason that has kept her out the whole year. I have no idea what it is but she's not pregnant as far as I can tell

Hahahahahahahaha, not something I am used to thinking about as a medical reason for not playing. I'm such a male pig.

I had just woke up and had to tell someone. That shite was weird. That bar was the shite though.

Maybe it's a sign of things to come...

Tomorrow's game against Miss State and Saturdays game against Missouri are huge. They're against weaker opponents but we cannot lose them. If we win we'll be 13-9 (4-6) with a little momentum going into that home game against Texas A&M. Win that somehow, and we'll have a ton of momentum when we go to Florida and LSU. If this team really wants to make the NCAA tourney this year, they all have to step up right now. It's still a reachable goal. If they're happy with the NIT, then they'll just play how they've been playing lately. As fans, we should be happy going to the NIT this year and I will be. NCAA tourney is just extra for us. I'm excited to see what this team (especially Taylor) does. RTR! #BuckleUp
