re: Tide Hoops | 25-12 (13-5)

A lot of the players we brought in this past off-season are just happy to be at a Alabama. Some committed without seeing the campus. Not only am I second guessing some of the players we brought in, I'm starting to wonder about how good our assistant coaches are.
Poor Man's Version:
#Grant Nelson • low budget Keith Van Horn. Loose dribble. Handles need major work. The one or two highlights he had at NDSU would not be so impressive if he was playing year in and year out in a Power 5.
#Latrell Wrightsell • Tim Hardaway and Trevor Releford body type without the shooting and dribbling ability. I recognized early on in the preseason work out videos that he wasn't that athletic. Nothing about him says major Division One.
#Mohammed Wague • Dollar General Tristan Thompson. Daniel Giddens with a Halloween mask on. If we were playing playground ball I'd pick him in a heartbeat. We're seeing the reason he was a bench player at WVU.
#Aaron Estrada • Walmart Cuttino Mobley. I think he just don't have the confidence right now, he passes up on threes he should shoot and shoots when he shouldn't. Maybe it's the two twigs he has hanging from his hair bothering his eyesight.
If the season was to end right now, I wouldn't be upset. But there's still a ton of ball to be played. The refs haven't helped us and we haven't helped ourselves. SEC teams play physical, maybe the refs gives us a break in SEC play. With five losses already, we can't lose no more than five or six games in the SEC. Maybe we go on a run, it's possible.
