I think Tim touched on this earlier but the 3 man team of Nate, Preston and Ryan is as good as it gets. Preston best in country at getting them to campus, establishing the relationships etc. Ryan does an incredible job with the presentation part of it..showing player on film where and how he will be utilized. Can’t downplay his part. Then Nate is the best closer in the country.. Saban like IMO. Just doesn’t miss very often at all if get on campus and we are pushing hard for player.

thank god we were able to add Preston to the staff last year when we did. There was some strong push back by admin when it was brought up. Not from AD but others. Have to remember this is all after the miles thing and think there was concern it would generate some unwanted attn. fort we had few people on board push back and get it done.


From Mac. What a spot on analysis

Mac said UNC offered $1.7M. Twitter says Georgetown is the team that offered $2M. Mac said our offer wasn’t even close to those 2 and we still got him. OMFG we got another Saban recruiting wise as our basketball coach.

On a day like today I’m reminded of the coaching search in 2019 when the rant deemed Oats a bad hire because he wasn’t Thad Matta

These last five years have been incredible. We go into next year with a team that we expect to make a Final Four. And for a lifelong fan of this program - that is amazing.

Oats really benefitted from swallowing his own ego and being willing to learn from Saban. It helps he was already a Saban admirer before he got here. But he learned and he added to what he was already doing and the result is one of the best young coaches in basketball.
