Oh, for sure. He wasn’t just overlooked by recruiting services, it was pretty much everyone.

One of these guys did it because he thought no matter how off it was that it was going in. The other guy did it just to spite you.Posted on 10/28/19 at 1:22 pm to SummerOfGeorge
Let's not forget the incredible dribbling technique Junior had.

Everytime he would dribble in the same spot...turn his arse to the basket and dribble evenmore

That gif needs to be reversed. I could get past his terrible bricks, I couldn’t get past his back-asswards dribbling out the clock.

Jr was the master of the box out dribble

Did y’all see the Andy Katz retweet of top 11 breakout players? Braxton Key was #1 and Jared Butler was #8.

LOL of course. But at least we got Kira to replace Butler, so that was a huge step up

Let’s go back to the women’s exhibition game for a moment. Is AUM just that bad or is Bama getting better? I know last year was a huge disappointment on the ladies side and I feel a repeat would make Currie’s seat mighty warm. Count me firmly among the fans that think it’s time we make some noise in the conference and make the Dance or Currie needs to get her arse on up outta here. I’m not saying she has to win the SEC but my gosh, get out of the bottom half! If not, we need to get Madonna Thompson here ASAP.

Southeastern Conference Preview

3.Alabama Crimson Tide
One of the better hires of the offseason was that of Nate Oats who thrived at Buffalo coaching in an up-tempo system with a lot of quality guards, fortunately, he came into the right system at Alabama where he will have some quality guards. Look for big things from Kira Lewis Jr. who was solid last year playing as an underaged freshman guard, he looks to take a big step forward this season under Nate Oats and should be an All-SEC player. James “Beetle” Bolden has been a really solid guard at the guard spot playing at West Virginia, he can shoot it from deep and pass at a high-level, assuming he stays healthy, he will make a big impact on this Alabama team. John Petty has been inconsistent in years past on the offensive end but he’s a really good shooter and could wind up being a major help for this team.
Herb Jones is a really excellent defender, he’s very long and athletic that can switch defensively. If he develops a halfway decent jump shot he could be a really good piece. Alex Reese is a stretch-5 that shot 37 percent from the deep and will look to be an impactful piece for this team both on offense and defense. Galin Smith is a player that should play minutes as a rim-protector, he’s not as polished offensively which probably finds him on the bench but he’ll play some minutes. Freshmen Jaylen Forbes and Jaden Shackelford will provide depth at the guard spot, both are Four-Star recruits that should play a role for this team.
Final Analysis: This Alabama team has a really good guard tandem with Lewis and Bolden being able to run the point and having a quick and athletic guard lineup. Assuming Lewis makes the freshman to sophomore jump that most expect, while Bolden stays healthy this team should be able to run up and down and score a lot of points. Look for this team to not only get back to the NCAA Tournament but I would expect this team to be a mainstay inside the Top-25.
Projected Rotation:
PG: Kira Lewis Jr. Sophomore 6’3”
SG: James Bolden Senior 6’0”
SF: John Petty Junior 6’5”
PF: Herb Jones Junior 6’7”
C: Alex Reese Junior 6’9”
Key: Reserves: Jaylen Forbes, Galin Smith, Jaden Shackelford, Raymond Hawkins

Missed J Davis. Oats said he will play because he is the hardest working player on the team. Has lost 50 lbs since CNO arrived.

That write up is very promising and it didn’t factor in the possibility of getting Q on appeal and the surprising performance of Shackelford.
We comin’ baws!

Getting Q eligible this season on appeal would be huge.
Not just for his quality but also depth. . . especially if we have any players miss time with injuries since we lost Gary and Rojas.

Disappointing to hear. From a standout to a fallout. From a hero to a zero. From a winner to a loser. What an embarrassment. Told old to be fricking up like this.

guy battled cancer a number of years back...Also I think he was trying his hand in the music and possible acting world.
