Yay

Our only high-profile guy with ASM is Scottie Wilbekin, who was a 3* from Gainesville who graduated a year early from high school to fill out our roster, so I think we're good

Not worried about Bobby Portis. That kid was a Hog before he left his mama's vagina.



There are sooooo many jokes to be made about this statement you should start a new thread. Lol

How much did you pay? $500,000 easy for that type of player.

So like what, 50-60 some schools should be worried because they had a 1st round pick?

Exactly how many 1st round picks do you think there are?


Quick count says 40 schools had a 1st round draft pick (some with multiples obviously) in the last 3 years.

If that source knows what’s up tell him to start rattling off names. If his info is reliable then why shouldn’t he release some of the names? Pretty sure I know why.

I dunno. It's no secret that it was a stretch to call Simmons a student-athlete. Even by his own admission, multiple times

All it takes is a spreadsheet?

Be right back... ima go look up Bama's football roster and open Excel.

He was SEC POY but I don't think anyone thought that when he was coming out of high school

That eliminates A&M. Last 1st round pick was Acie Law in 2007.

Did anyone from the 2014 team actually play in the NBA? My boy Patric Young spent about a minute with the Pelicans and is playing in Italy now.

Thamel spent 3 weeks in Alabama interviewing everyone who might have once met Eric Bledsoe and Demarcus Cousins just creaming for a story. All he came up with was Eric Bledsoes academic transcript he was given by Rick Pitinos son at Florida. Just sad.


Thamel's career took a nosedive after how he reported on the Cam situation. When he ended up having egg all over his face he went after Auburn with the Public Administration curriculum and Athletes. That lead to nothing and with a couple of more poor investigative reporting articles, the New York Times fired him. He landed at SI, but that didn't last long. Now he has his career reduced essentially to a blog. This is his last ditch effort to save his career and he knows it.

Finney-Smith is on the Mavs

Wilbekin should be getting a look soon. He's had several different countries try to get him on their national team.

Pat Young would probably get some looks if he could stay healthy.

Well, there are 30 first round picks a year and the story says “ the last 2 or 3 years.”

Since some players taken don’t come from NCAA programs and some programs produced more than 1 first round pick 50-60 is probably close to spot on.
