I’m torn on it, would be really good for us in football but bad for us in basketball potentially.

I disagree. I think this would be really bad for us in football and really good for us in basketball

One way I see it being used is players maybe transferring to a program to compete for a NC or get more national exposure like we see a lot of these grad transfers doing. That could hurt in bball but help us in football.
I see your point though in football if a highly rated guy isnt getting the PT thinks he dererves right away then he could transfer. Seems like that’s been happening to us a lot lately anyway even without this rule.

John Petty Jr. leads the SEC in three point shooting at 44.7%.
We also lead the SEC in team 3P% at 35.1%. Pretty amazing considering how many we shoot. We're 2nd in the country in three pointers attempted per game. North Florida leads us barely, they attempt 30.75 a game we are 30.6.

Before beating then-No. 25 LSU, Nate Oats asked his team which SEC squad finished with the best season a year ago, before Oats joined the league.
An Alabama player responded with LSU, which won the regular-season title in 2018-19. But Oats was looking for the team that had the best season, start to finish, last year. The obvious answer was Auburn, which won the SEC Tournament and played in the Final Four.
“I said, ‘Does anyone happen to know what Auburn’s record was after 12 games?’” Oats said. “Somebody in there was smart enough to know that they were 6-6, and I said, ‘Well, let’s get to 6-6 and then see what we can’t do in the last third of conference play.’”

“Let’s control what we can control,” Oats said. “But some of this is going to be, you know, how does a Penn play? Does that loss end up being Quad 4 or Quad 3? How does a North Carolina play? Who would’ve thought that that would be a bad loss for us right now? How do some of those teams we played early in the year end up shaking out, like an LSU or an Auburn? Like, where do they shake out because those are both home wins. If they end up not being in the top 30, that’s not a Quad 1 win anymore. So, some of that goes into play.
“We’re going to control what we can control. We’re going to try to win as many as we can these last six. And then you’ve got to go to Nashville and win as many as you can there.”
The first-year head coach also mentioned again that injuries could -- and in his opinion should -- be taken into account. Alabama played five games without its best defensive player in Herbert Jones and dropped three winnable games against Penn, Arkansas and Tennessee.

“They also look at how you finish the year,” Oats said. “So, how do we finish these next six games? I think they’re supposed to take a team that’s hot in February and March over a team that got all of their quality wins back in November, December. Hopefully, we are hot in February and March. Hopefully, we’ve done enough when it comes time on Selection Sunday that we’re playing in the tournament.”

“I’m not necessarily saying we’re a Final Four team or anything like that, but they were 6-6 and they went on a big run and didn’t lose many games. … Why can’t we do the same thing?” Oats said. “The way the schedule’s set up, they’re all losable games we’re playing, but they’re all winnable games, too. Every last one of our last six games are winnable games, and if we don’t play well, they’re losable games. Let’s get ourselves locked in.
“Let’s go on a three-week sprint here to the end of the season. Do everything we possibly can to get in the gym on your own, study a little extra film. Everybody do a little bit extra and see if we can’t push ourselves over the edge and start winning the close games that we were losing and go on a run here and finish the year out.”

Not only is he a damn good coach, but he "gets it" too.
And I love him for that.

If I were a billionaire he'd be getting an extension and we'd be getting a new area on campus, somewhere lol

I really wish we hadn't lost to Arky at home, that's probably gonna turn out to be one of our worst losses. If they lose @Florida tonight they will have lost 8 of their last 10 games.

It's just so frustrating that those two home games are absolutely wins and we're talking about potential seedings if Herb plays. Heck, they're probably wins if he just plays the handful of minutes he got against Auburn.

Vs Arky we didn't have Herb or Beetle so we were really behind the eight ball.

Vandy leading @ UT with less than 10 minutes left.
Posted on 2/18/20 at 7:14 pm to Chadaristic
I'm pretty excited to watch that Kentucky @ LSU game at 8.
