I’m pretty butthurt that the exhibition will likely be students only. If it’s for charity, don’t we want as many people there as possible?

I too was at the practice yesterday. Quick thoughts:
Bediako will be a difference maker. Shot blocker and will catch many lobs and dump offs for dunks. Just don’t expect back to the basket post moves.
Jusaun holt exceeded my admittedly low expectations. Looked like he belonged. Rebounded strong for a guard and shot the ball very well exclusively from three. Has a nice quick repeatable shot. I don’t know what his role will be but he’s an asset.
JD showed excellent vision. Continually got to the rim and made the right pass. Excellent at sprayouts. Has elite speed in transition. Didn’t attempt a 3 during any scrimmage portion as far as I could tell. Didn’t take many shots from anywhere.
Gurley was fine. Didn’t impress but didn’t do anything negative really either.
Ambrose-Hylton didn’t practice.
Shack did indeed knock the bottom out of shots. Ellis did too.
JQ still looks great. Gary was wide open making plays. Hit 3 threes in the scrimmage.
Tchikou has great size but isn’t the athlete that bediako is.

The bham game not being in the season ticket package allows us to call it “neutral” site which is significantly better for our NET.
Coach Oats said at the Tide Pride BBQ last night that they had a 20 minute half scrimmage with the 1's vs. 2's during the day yesterday. Had full referrees etc. Said the score was 50-46 and both teams got over 50 possessions in 20 min. Jahvon quinerly lead all scorers. He was on the second team.

New Nate Oats Article on the Athletic
This is outstanding on Nate Oats and where everything stands now at Alabama. If you don't have a login I'd suggest using the free trial just to read this article. Got me even more pumped for the Oats era.

Quinerly being brought up in the hoops trial now.

So, we don't want Trendon because he's mature enough to take his time and make his decision after all the dust settles? And we assume he's waiting because of money? This board is crazy dumb sometimes. Let this kid make whatever decision he wants. If he comes to Alabama, I'll be glad we got one of the best kids in the country. If not, I'll wish him luck and concern myself with the kids we got.
Timme got a crystal ball guess to Gonzaga today.

Dawkins sent a text to someone that he paid $5000 to Sexton.

Shackelford article talks about his scoring as a plus skill. Although he only shot 32% from 3 in EYBL on a high volume, the writer thinks its only because of the difficulty of the shots he had to take because he was by far the primary option for his team. His best skill is shooting the 3 but he can put it on the floor for runners and floaters. He's clearly a good scorer but didn't do much in terms of assists/rebounds.

Jerry Meyer and another guy changed their predictions and now have Timme to Texas A&M.
Jared Butler got an NCAA waiver to play immediately at Baylor. Would be interested to see what the whole story was on his deal at Bama.
I'm almost positive I've read early period.
Saw on rivals that two of their main guys including Bossi predict that we will get Drew Timme. Also said he is most difficult 5 star to read though.

Herb fouled out of 4 games and did not foul out in the last 15 games thereafter. You can't be a defensive hound without fouling some, so I'm ok with him having a higher rate than others. Clearly no one wants him reaching in 50-90 feet from the basket but if he gets called for a block more often than other players, that's just part of his game.
We have shown some interest in Jaden Shackelford from California also. Top 150 on 247. Billed as a shooter.

I don't know his specific situation, but Kira could always go to a basketball prep school like IMG or Oak Hill until Christmas like Austin Wiley did.
I'm almost positive that the article on Trendon meant that he was cutting his list soon. That's the decision that he's talking about making soon, not committing to a school.
I hope Braxton stays too but we are currently at 14 scholarship players, one over the limit. Someone has to transfer. People always talk about putting Jr. off scholarship but I don't think that they are going to do that to be honest.
Survey was sent to season ticket holders via e-mail. it even made you put in the e-mail the link was sent to before you fill out the survey.
