I feel like not much surprises me with this program but losing at home to Texas A&M and Vanderbilt in the last 3 weeks is a shock even to my system.

Goodness that is horrendous


Such a kick to the balls. We should be used to it, but my gosh, this was unreal

I don’t care if Oats transfers 2 players in from an elementary school, they’ll still be better than Galin & Reese

Well I’ve figured it out: there’s no will to win in this current roster. There’s no “want to.” They just go out there and play basketball and at the end of 60 minutes they look up at the scoreboard to see the result. If they win, great, if they lose, oh well. Lather, rinse, repeat. They don’t care. If they cared, they would do something about it.


Pretty much yeah. I said before during the game that there have only been a couple of guys at this program in the last decade who had a true killer instinct. You don't have to have 5 guys who eat, sleep, and breathe basketball and are fanatical about winning, but you need 1 or 2. We seem to have 0.

No my point was he wasn't a transfer/grad transfer guy. He was a regular ole recruiting signing.

Oats knows he's got dead weight holding scholarships that have got to go.
The guys he decides to process will ride the bench wherever they go.

I mean we suck, but if we beat the 2 worst teams in the conference at home we are 18-12 (10-7).

That's just......I mean that is almost too peak Alabama.

Like Bryant said earlier I appreciate that he gets it and bluntly says the same shite we are thinking and seeing. He was clearly beside himself that the same stuff happened again after he OBVIOUSLY beat it into their heads.

I still have to see it change before I buy that it actually will.

None of this will stop us from hyping them up though. That borderline JuCo forward who averaged 10/7 during his 2 years will basically be Kawhi by the time he arrives in Tuscaloosa.



Baylor is ranked top 5 in the country and 4 of their main 6 players are Juco players or transfers, Texas Tech has also made a living off of doing this.

Rojas averaged 10 rebs and 20 points a game last year in Juco by the way, not 10 and 7, and Keon Ellis is averaging 24 points per game in juco and leads broke the league steals record.

What the hell are you talking about? I made no mention of Rojas and neither did anyone else.

You acted like we were hyping up some juco player who averaged 10 and 7, the only one I know that we have is Rojas, and they only other one I know of that we are recruiting is Keon Ellis who is averaging 24 points so I wasn't sure who you were talking about.

That says all you need to know about Reese. He’s soft and he’s lazy. I also hope that he’s gone

Going into the Conference Tournaments

Alabama WOMEN'S Basketball sits at #1 of the Last Four Out in ESPN's W Hoops Bracketology

Kristy Curry and Co. needs 1 win to keep hope alive, and given the quality of the SEC, a second win to lock a bid in and get the Lady Tide to their first big dance since before Y2K.

Are you surprised that Reese is a lazy sack of shite or that Oats would publicly shame him for it? I find neither all that surprising. Reese is one of the most pathetic, weak minded, no fricks to give players I can remember. He has Tony Mitchell's attitude, Ben Eblen's talent, and Carl Engstrom's vertical.
