re: Alabama Basketball Recruiting and Offseason Talk

Random Observations from Tip Off Club/Tide Pride Open Practice and BBQ

The team had a two hour practice and then came and practiced for 45 min in front of the crowd.

- Sexton came in with a ripped practice jersey. Had been ripped down the middle.
- When they played any 5 on 5 drills they were in mixed groups. Clearly not starters versus next 5 ever.
- Did some offense versus air with different ball handlers.
- Armond made an impressive Kyrie-type reverse layup in traffic.
- Reese Looked good from 3. Also, looked more the part to me but could have been fooled by the more mature haircut haha.
-Avery noted that we were last in the league in taking charges last year.
-Riley sat out of practice but everyone else participated.
-When we got to 5 on 5 drills Sexton blew by everybody for a layup in the half court at least 4 times.
-Sexton floated one over hall too after a blow by.
-Giddens has nice touch on his jumper. Made a 10 foot fadeaway look smooth.
-Did one period of special situations. Collin bailed the white team out on a last second step-back 17 footer on the white's possession. Then he ripped it from Braxton on the crimson's possession. (Avery called a foul but it was a Head coach's foul not a legitimate one).
-Herb is going to get minutes. He's going to defend and he looked like he belonged.
-They didn't play much 5 on 5 so it was hard to tell much more than that.
