re: Pringle to the portal.

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.
