That's what I expected from Denver but it took all season for it to come to fruition. Sometimes it's hard to adjust.

Not really. Took some time but he was really good for the last 15 games.

Per Hoke on The Next Round…

In addition to Maui, Bruce is still trying to make a Purdue game happen in Atlanta, as well as a Houston game in Houston (at the rockets arena).

Maui + those two would be a nasty nonconference schedule. But that’s before even factoring in hoopsgiving in Atlanta and ACC challenge.

Love the idea of testing the heck out of this bunch before SEC play

Bruce mentioned playing Purdue in Bham at an NIL fundraiser a few weeks ago. Not sure why it’d be moved to Atlanta.

I don’t think there will be as much of a learning period for miles. The ACC is a much harder conference than the CUSA.

I’m sure Aden will get plenty of minutes at the 1 with this announcement

They can put him as the 1 on the lineup all they want but Oats would be an idiot to take the ball out of the best PG in CBB’s hands.

One of Aden or Philon will get squeezed out of the rotation completely

That was my thought, Sears ain’t coming back and playing less than 32 min a game. And between Wrightsell and that other guard they picked up, Aden or Philon may not see the floor much.

Wrightsell is the other component that makes Aden make zero sense. He was their best shooter at times on an elite shooting team.

Bama will be very good next year. Might have the best group of guards in the country. I really need Oats to leave

Aden Philon and Sears ain’t guarding anybody any time soon. They’ve got talent but their defense might be awful again next year.

Oats took Aden solely to jab at Auburn.

Bama definitely not unbeatable. They'll lose 7-10 regular season games because the defense will come and go. But they definitely have the ingredients for another deep run.. especially with another gift of a tourney draw

Aden will probably not be a big piece for them this year but could see him becoming a real dude junior and senior year... CBB is gonna become a haven for small guards to make a nice living to start out...

Both bammer and Auburn will have good teams. It’s refreshing. UAB and Samford are solid programs. Troy and USA have had decent programs in the recent past. Finally I’m glad to see the state really start to compete especially with as limited of elite players that come out of the state. Bunch of solid players but not many elite players
