So help me if we try to cheap out ima lose it. The money can go so much farther in basketball than football.
Im with you, it's going to suck... But I still go back to the fact that if these rosters are going to cost 12-15 mill, you have to have honest conversations with dead weight at the end of the year and tell them to move on. It's not popular to talk about, but you can't be in the business of developing projects anymore that come with a hefty price tag. Im all for buying a developed project, but paying for the development of a project player over the course of a few years and then to have them turn around and sell themselves to the highest bidder... no way.

I'd pass. He was already pretty inefficient at Pitt and the increased pace of play at Kentucky just made it worse.
Fair point... Im curious as to our move at that position (contingent on Holloway).

Any possibility we make a move on Jaland Lowe who just entered the portal? We need a pg and he looked great against us in one of the few games he played in for UK

You said this is the perfect system for his skill set and I'm just wondering what his skill set is. He can't take anyone off the dribble, he can't create his own shot, he gets pushed out of the lane with ease by guys half his size, he shoots his 3 point shot from the waist so he needs to be wide open. He can't defend his position or the 3. TBB is 6'10 and I can count on 0 fingers how many put back dunks he had this year coming off missed shots, that's troubling. At best he is a guy that could be a nice piece at a mid major where he can find his way. If we are serious about winning a national title, we don't need to be paying projects

do we really think TBB is leaving? This is the perfect system for his skill set. He just needs experience and some good weight.
He needs a lot more than that.. for starters he has zero basketball acumen.

Will miss Philon. Great player. Really enjoyed watching him play. Glad he’s going to paid.
I am old, so I have been able to see every great guard for Bama dating back to late 70s. He is the best I have seen.

Yep, we wasted a lot of money on "value" picks In the transfer portal going for quantity over quality and we paid for it. I also like Houston Mallette, but we cant keep getting 1 dimensional 2 and 3s.

TBB should be thanked for his service, cut him the final nil check and move on. He is the epitome of losing basketball

So much for analytics huh. Oats is our Lane Kiffin
I think Oats has to tweak the types of players he gets, but he is the best coach in Alabama basketball history already and it's not even really close

How is Allen a draftee this year?
He has plummeted off of most legit draft boards. He plays hard as hell, but still a lot of question marks about just how athletic he is

Sherrell still struggles with being a "center"

Man, Sherrell taps a lot of rebounds out of bounds

They found that rebounding foul but missed the previous two Michigan rips on rebounds

You could call that foul on every Philon drive, they reach up with both arms against him

Lindeborg is nice, but Philon is the best player in this gym. Is that enough, possibly not... but we can play with these guys.
