If it was schemed right
Good point. If Grubb valued the run, he would scheme for it. But he loves fancy pass plays.

Yes!

Prioritizing guys like Allen and Clowney, is a huge reason for the success.
And those two were ranked somewhere between 60 to 100. Oats is amazing at finding the right recruits for his system.
It’s the best exhibition idea anybody around here has ever had.

Think of it as on the level of football in Alabama
Last time Bama played BYU in basketball- about 2 years ago in the NCAA Sweet 16, Bama blew out BYU by close to 30 points.

The part where they are ultra financially successful I get (even though im still a bit stumped as to how)
The guy who owns the Utah Jazz buys BYU’s players, reportedly paid Dybantsa $7 million for one season. I guess religion is one thing, but business is another.

Before the new arena talk started, there was a plan to renovate Coleman seating by rounding out the corners, breaking the sides down to upper and lower sections with students in the lower part of the lower side section, and putting in some box/ club options. Rounding the corners off would cure that current view problem.

No one takes the SAT at most of those schools, it’s usually the ACT.
Correct. They may accept SAT scores, but most all prefer the ACT, which is more an achievement test than aptitude.

Adams is set to start at Vandy.

We definitely have players, but need to get out if that zone and play man- we have the talent to do that.

Fielder still rehabbing a leg injury. Not real bad. He’ll be ready.

I turn 74 in September, so having passed my “three score and ten,” I am trying to rekindle the enthusiasm I felt as a boy reading the newspaper reports from the Skywriters Tour, back when all we k ew was what those reporters told us about fall practice. Good old days.

If we can just clog up the middle on defense we will be a final 4 team again
We have definitely sign some middle cloggers this cycle. Should be better on the back end.
Oxford is the best college town in the SEC- and I say that as a Bama grad. Baton Rouge is a dump. Lane is just an immature boy with a Tinder account who can’t find satisfaction, peace, and love in his life. Too bad. He is a good coach but sold his soul to his ego.

If that was season’s end yes, but these basement nerds have no clue who is good and who isn’t.

Disagree. Playing an SEC game in Boutwell should be great. Not a bad seat in the house. Plus they just beat us in the SEC tournament, so we need to put a whooping on them.
Clarence Carter’s “Strokin.” That should fire up young men everywhere. Listen to it, and you will agree. Clarence is from Alabama.

Chauvinistic Pig, Richardson getting 7 rebounds a game sounds a lot like Allen last year being our top rebounder. With two guys on the wing who can rebound like that, we could be big trouble for lots of teams. I think we will be tough to beat around the perimeter.

This looks logical to me.
Maybe, but they would not stand a chance against the 2020 Tide.
