I think we might see both a positive and negative side to this run. Sears and Nelson are going to get significant looks from the NBA when they otherwise would have more likely been back. Our incumbents are going to want bigger deals, and we already spent a lot on this incoming class not including the portal. Having said all that, I think we also will see more NIL money come in as well as increased interest for those that want to compete for championships while improving their draft stock.

Sears and Nelson are also both coming from different situations.

Sears is the hometown kid who became a big name throughout the season and got a lot of hype during the tournament. The dude could become a Bama legend if he returns and would also get a nice NIL payday, not just from collectives, but I would imagine quite a few endorsements. His choice is pretty tough, I imagine if he gets a 2nd round grade he may just strike while the iron is hot.

Nelson is a completely different story. The dude wants out of school, he made this apparent last year when he didn't get the draft grade he wanted and committed to Alabama based on his evaluations and where he could go to improve. If anyone gives him a draftable grade, he's gone. If it wasn't for the tournament run he definitely would be back, just look at his quotes last night, he's saying Bama is his worst-case scenario.

I'm not going to lose any sleep over anyone else. I haven't been a big fan of Pringle or Wague, Cosby I have a few questions about, Walters is a 4 year guy and has a lot of improving left to do, I imagine Griffen and Wrightsell are back, and Stevenson needs another year here.

Saw this on twitter on a post about how Muss had pissed off some of Arkansas boosters. The question is how much of ours is allocated to basketball…but I imagine the NIL tournament we are in will help tremendously

So the collective is total and who gets to decide how much goes to which sport etc

Besides Sears and Nelson….the tampering for Rylan Griffin is gonna be crazy.

Idk. Griffen looks like an elite defender.

Brandon passes Curry’s rookie year tally of 3-point goals,167-166 and counting.

I got to watch a Florida State Uconn scrimmage before the Covid year. Danny Hurley was screaming at refs , spectators , FSU coaches and players the entire time. He's an elite basketball coach but he is a frickin punk of the highest order that needs an arse whipping. Some player is gonna swing on that bitch one of these days.
