Pringle to the portal.

Why would every player not put himself into the portal?

See what another team, excuse me an outside entity, will pay you to play for them. To me $100k is a fair amount of money, and many of these guys are cashing in for 5x that by switching teams. They can always come back if it doesn’t work out next year.

It was expected.

Bama had 1 guy who was done with eligibility- Estrada. Bama also has perhaps its best ever class on paper coming in next year. So a few players entering the portal was pretty much a given and Pringle was one of the most likely candidates.

He has been an inconsistent contributor at Bama but he brings a lot of energy and was showing some really good improvement last couple of months and was really important during the tournament run. He was a beast at times frankly. The biggest issue is he was not a good defender without fouling. Bama didn’t have any inside defender who could defend worth a shite without fouling. They have to improve there and they signed one HS center and are looking in the portal for a potential fit as well.

Hate to lose him but there is a pretty good chance Alabama gets better/more consistent at that position. He may not have started next year and I’m sure he wants to start his last year of college ball.

Is that former president from TAMU still alive?

Find any mention of him here by me and it will probably include “didn’t develop as expected.”

Fun kid to watch when everything was clicking, and he undoubtedly had the game of his life against Clemson in the Elite Eight.

Wish him the best, and hope some team can help tap his potential.

Not as bad as this,

Billy Richmond has decommitted from Kentucky.
The 6-foot-6, 200-pound Richmond is ranked as high as 20th overall in the 2024 class by On3, while his lowest ranking is 39th at ESPN.

He now joins Jayden Quaintance, Somto Cyril, Boogie Fland, and Karter Knox as the players in the 2024 class to reopen their recruitments after the announcement of Calipari leaving Lexington.

Dark days for Kentucky

This isn’t the burn your op is trying to make it. Sure he played good against Clemson but dude couldn’t catch wide open pick and rolls all year.

I don’t care one bit if he leaves

Wouldnt have been in the final 4 without him.

But this was expected. Pretty sure he went through senior day. And he was suspended at least twice this year.

And he really isn't a fit as a stretch 4 in Oats' system. He has no outside shot. Main offense is pick and roll. Hopefully we upgrade and he gets to ball out next year as well.

Wish him nothing with the best and glad to have had him on Bama's team the last couple of years. He was fun to watch.
