Cool quote from the Times West Virginian on Bolden's nickname: "When I was born, I was a premature baby. I wasn’t supposed to live. I know I could fit inside your palm. So my grandma gave me the nickname ‘Beetle’ because they’re small and strong. I lived through it and I’m here.”

Bolden and Shackleford are MAJOR PG upgrades over Dazon and Jr.
Beetle will start at 2 IMO.
I could see our starting rotation being:
Kira
Beetle
Petty
Mack
Hawkins

Is Harlond Beverly an option still? I wonder how serious that recruitment is.

Yeah our uniforms look like shite

We just got those. Collins season was our first season wearing them. They are an upgrade over what we had IMO.

All they need to do is change the stripe on the shorts

Is it supposed to be an elephant tusk?

Haven’t heard much at all on him lately. I know my Georgia friend seems pretty excited like they’re gonna get him tho.
I honestly just think we’re running out of room. Mack will likely come back and then we’ll get Rojas once he gets his release. Then we might could add one more

James Bolden, huge pick-up by Nate Oats.
- While being recruited in 2015, ESPN had him as a 4-Star.
- Rivals, Top247, & 247Composite had him a 3-Star.
- Bolden avg’d 12.2 PPG, 2.6 RPG, 2.5 APG last season.
The 13-man roster is sitting like this now...
1. Kira Lewis
2. John Petty
3. Tevin Mack
4. Juwan Gary
5. Jaylen Forbes
6. Jaden Shackelford
7. Raymond Hawkins
8. James Bolden
9. Alex Reese
10. Javian Fleming
11. Herbert Jones
12. Galin Smith
13. OPEN
I’d like to see..
PG: Kira Lewis/Jaden Shackelford
SG: James Bolden/Jaylen Forbes
SF: John Petty/Juwan Gary
PF: Tevin Mack/Alex Reese
C: Raymond Hawkins/Javian Fleming
Garbage minutes: Galin Smith/Herb Jones

Looks like Tre Jones is coming back to Duke. So, odds increased that Kira comes back. Also, it seems like the other PG will probably pick Memphis. So, Watford to Alabama?
This^^^. I dont follow BB recruiting but can share this much.
Had Tre decided to go, KL was going to tell Coach K his intention to xfer on his scheduled visit to Duke.
KL had other options to consider but give Coach Oates credit for keeping KL too.
Coach explained in detail his vision for this team as well as the next 2 years for KL. Coach did an excellent job laying it all out. His expectations, his goals and where he sees KL in 2 years. Really a fabulous job laying out the path for KL and the team.
Oates, to me, will be to Bama BB what CNS is to football. Year 1 will be somewhat of a challenge but after that, look out.

Bolden was a HUGE pickup, and fills our biggest need. I legit feel like we are a tourney team now.
Now the priority is to get another PF to replace the spot Watford would've filled. I would LOVE for it to be Rojas. He has a lot of college experience already and should be able to contribute big minutes from day one at a position of need just like Bolden.
Oats and staff are killing it!

CNO playing the long game??
JMO but I feel like Rojas is the backup plan depending on Trendon’s decision. I wonder what Nate feels our chances are with Trendon. I don’t think it’s a good sign that Archie Miller is getting an in-home with him. Not that Indiana is really in it but it seems to say Trendon hasn’t made up his mind 100%.

I think that's a good thing for us right now. We don't want him 100%. Cause if he was, it would be for Memphis.

If you extrapolate all of our players points and turnovers out to 40 minutes Herb Jones is last on the team in points, and first on the team in turnovers. He is also a sub 50% free throw shooter. What is it you guys like so much about him? That he took a lot of charges as a freshmen?
I do think he still gets solid minutes due to him being good on defense. He was a liability on offense this season though, hopefully Oats can get him better on that end.

Yea, this isn't football, so I wish we would get creative with some uniforms. If it helps recruiting, then why don't we try it?

I wonder how a throwback-style uniform with the “Bama” script (like the Softball unis) would look
Something like this would be cool IMO
