In a world where Sexton came back, what would the expectations be for 18/19?

-Senior Riley Norris returns for 5th year

-Entire crew returns from the 17/18 campaign a year older

-All incoming redshirt transfers and freshmen enter the fray.

-Sexton, Man on a mission to end the season on a higher note than his freshman year.


Would Alabama be pre-season ranked?

I would expect 3-4 more wins in the regular season and an early exit in the tournaments. We still wouldn’t have a plan on offense other than “we need players to make plays”

Unless Petty becomes very consistent and Herb can give us a guaranteed 10+ a game as well, I think we'd only win 20 during the regular season and the round of 32 again in a close loss


ETA: I forgot about Mack. If he can be a consistent deep threat and 15 ppg player we won't need Herb to increase his scoring, but he really needs to.

If they all bust their asses and really work in the off-season they can be dangerous. We can't avoid the Sophomore slump we saw from Hale, Key and Ingram from Galin, Herb and Reese. Those guys need to bring it hard and let that experience and pain motivate them to get it done in the weight room and such. This team will have potential, but it is up to them.

We'd have too many players on scholarship and be ruled ineligible for postseason play.

I'd say so. Probably pretty similar projection from last year honestly. We've got most other guys coming back but I'm not going out on a limb saying anyone makes a big jump other than petty (simply because I don't see a slump like he had this year)

we had a semblance of an offense those few games when he was out. When he returned it looked like everyone was waiting on Sexton to do his thing so they could figure out where to be. Sexton is a great player, no doubt. But he had way too many turnovers and way too few assists in many games to call him elite. We need a well rounded PG who makes the others around him great.

I thought Norris’ career was over.
