re: Tide Hoops | Offseason

I kinda get the impression that Nelson is going to the highest bidder if he comes back based on his comments after the UConn game. He wouldn't commit to an either/or between the draft and Alabama. Just said "hopefully" it's Alabama if he does do another year of college ball, which is code for "if the price is right" in this NIL and portal era of university branded AAU ball.

That's going to be a difficult choice for Oats if it comes to it too. I think Stevenson has a lot more upside, but if you're in win now mode upside isn't nearly as appealing. Honestly though, I think I still might lean that way. He's got the length, outside shooting potential, and general athleticism for a breakout season next year. He's close, and I think it clicks over the summer.
