re: Tide Hoops | Offseason

I think we've upgraded at 2-guard, so I'm not going to waste the energy to defend a man not enrolled at Alabama anymore. Best of luck to Rylan. I hope he's read up on how to respond to choke hazards for the sake of his head coach....

So Alabama had 3 first rounders and Washington had 3 first rounders.
A good showing for 'crooting: got some players to the 1st round, new head coach helped guide several to the 1st round too....

[quote]See above. Same issue as ky fans. Bama paid players for years to entice them to play at your school.now that it’s legal for everyone you are realizing your rich donors arent wealthy. Really not in the ball park [/quote]

The CFPCG had some of the best moments of the Saban era. What I remember the most though is Jake Coker's growth. There is a pretty clear delineation too: the 4th quarter of TSIO. He had shown moments of toughness but was a pretty stupid passer for a 5th year senior early in the season. But from that...

I'm fine with the players getting paid but I'm not fine with NIL being used as inducement. I'm fine with player free agency, I'm not fine with it being unfettered....

[quote]From what I’ve heard, Texas turns every conference to shite and destroyed the SWC and Big 12. Maybe A&M is smart, knows what’s coming, and is just being proactive before Texas blows the SEC up. Lol!

Seems like Wague may think his days are numbered. So good sign we’re getting a center transfer. ...

We do play a lot of 3 and 4 guard line ups but you are right that there is only one ball and 40 minutes in regulation basketball.
I could see us playing a lot of Sears/Holloway-Youngblood-Mallette-Wrightsell at 1 through 4 if we land a top end rim protector. ...

I think they intend for him to start at corner opposite our other transfer from SoCal, Domani Jackson. Just a hunch because We Good at safety in my opinion despite losing Downs....

Wrightsell and Mallette are going to give us credible floor spacing shooters. Youngblood is a fantastic 2 guard scorer at the rim and another great 3pt shooter. Getting Omoruyi as a credible rim protector and post defender would be huge to pair with Nelson at 4. Mo D is the hybrid off the bench to l...

Alabama is pretty deep at DL. Some of the perceived softness from A-Day, imo, will be resolved when the presumed interior DL and LB are playing....

I don't think anyone understood how to deploy Henry and it involved retooling the offense and how you think about the run game.
Alabama could've probably ran off 5 straight national titles if they just fed Henry the rock like an old-school, high-carry feature back rather than rotating him for lim...

Just a thought, but somebody is going to fund a preferred walk on NIL scholarship that is functionally equivalent to full cost of attendance at some point to help schools build depth under transfer free agency. ...

I think the big thing is only 85 guys can contribute in a season. They count as an athletic scholarship if they participate even if they are on an academic scholarship or need based aid. ...

DeBoer explicitly said we had 5 scholarships available in a post-spring camp interview. Some of these kids are not on athletic scholarship. There are ways to work the numbers for young men who are developmental depth if they qualify for other forms of aid and scholarships. ...
