Oats targeting Aden is a little strange since he doesn’t really fit the mold of a pg in that system- ability to get to the rim and finish. I think Oats is almost doing it as a subtle shot at AU/Pearl.

A lot of chatter from Bama fans is that Bruce failed Aden and Oats will fix him. Aden didn’t live up to the hype but he still was a starter on a team that won 27 games and made the All Freshman Team. Aden might take the next step at Bama but he probably would at Auburn if he stayed.

Weird situation.

Small guards generally suck at finishing at the rim when they are young. He has blow by quickness and elite range so I think Oats is happy to take his chances. That being said, I’m skeptical he will be capable of captaining an elite team at PG as soon as next year so let’s hope this also means Sears is gone

Yeah and it’s comical. Bruce continued to publicly praise him and tell him to keep shooting and he kept him in the starting lineup to take the pressure off of him from having to do too much.

Hopefully Sears leaves and Aden is forced to start at the 1 again.
