I wonder if Jahvon Quinerly regrets leaving for Memphis? It was a dumb decision. I wish he could have stayed.

I'm not sure if our offense plays as well with Quin. Guys playing selfless and willing to make the extra pass, is why they've been so deadly this season. We're getting better looks vs his ISO bs.

We don't care .. what's important is the players on the team.

I don't understand the HATE towards JQ when he was about the only ball handler who could break defenders down.
JQ had a phenomenal career here and he played extremely well with the likes of Herb Jones & John Petty Jr.
No need to bash him when he has done nothing but show love towards the University.

Thank you.

Dude wanted the bag and left. I appreciate his service here but when all you care about is bag chasing…

I don't either. He did really good things while he was here. Really wish he would have stayed.

Agreed. Hope the money was worth it for him.

I don't hold it against a kid when he transfers for more playing time or to a better situation to improve his draft stock or for similar reasons. But just to get a bag? Into a worse situation in every other way? Nah.
Also the way it went down rubbed a lot of people the wrong way. He told Oats what number it would take for him to come back and Nate got it so JQ made his I'm Back post but he was clearly still shopping.

I haven’t posted much in the basketball thread this year after following it daily for as long as I can remember. Life has its ways sometimes, I suppose.
I won’t regale everyone with more stories of Gottfried, Grant, and Avery; and won’t dwell on opportunities lost over and over again with more talented teams we’ve had in this past. It’s time to celebrate a little, not reminisce.
We finally broke through. Finally shattered the glass ceiling of generations worth of Alabama basketball fans’ expectations. We always lose the big one. We always shite the easy one away. We always lose the key player or miss the shot that would have made the difference. Throw a ball out of bounds or inexplicably miss our last 18 FT attempts.
And of all the years, of all the teams, of all the times we expected it and didn’t get it, this was the one. It’s so amazing that it’s almost laughable. A ragtag bunch of newcomers, an entirely fresh staff, a few young guys with talent, one guy leftover with enough leadership to make you think we might be competitive, and Nate Oats left standing. You never know when your number is going to get called or when your moment is going to come, but it’s a pretty good (if not corny) analogy for the way we’ve won games in this tournament and this team as a whole. Nelson, Rylan, Stephenson, MoD, Pringle, Sears… everybody has had a moment. Hoping for a few more to come.
I absolutely hate comparing basketball to football. It came up so often that it was an infuriating and insulting comment on the basketball program as a whole. It was always, “this team reminds me of Saban’s team in 20XX” or “this season feels like the SEC Championship team back when” or something the occasional football fan would pop in and drop off after a big moment.
And for all that annoyance, last night was the first time since Tebow cried on that sideline in Atlanta in 2009 that I felt that kind of enjoyment about a victory in any game of any sport. It wasn’t just a win or a FF banner, it was finally doing it. Finally getting the thing you knew was possible, but seemed like it wouldn’t ever come to fruition.
So, for everybody still carrying the torch in here, keep fighting the good fight. Happy Easter. And as for UCONN, well… They can get it too.

Same. I want to see him get some WWE NIL money.

Still cant believe that there will be a Final Four banner hanging in Coleman next year. I will have to see it to believe it :)

They paid him something like $240k so I doubt he’s too upset.

I think that's the one significant factor. Jq is basically a grown man, 25 or 26 now. He was immediately deeply entrenched in the NIL market as soon as it was allowed. He has no NBA future so he's trying to make life changing money.
People probably don't want to hear this, but it's probably going to cost us a small fortune to keep Sears next year. All these guys have agents and all of these agents are going to tell players that don't have an NBA future to look out for there financial future

@JonRothstein
Alabama's Latrell Wrightsell (head) will return to practice this week and barring any setbacks, is expected to play in Saturday's Final Four game against UConn, per Nate Oats.
Has not played since the Round of 32.
Averages 9 PPG.

I know he's friends with Oats, but I think Dan Hurley is a fricking chode so breaking UConn the way Wisconsin broke Kentucky would be amazing.
