Clearly Iowa State not exactly a place to go to college if you want the cool factor but if you want to play, it might be the place. Who wants to come to Bama to play behind Russell for a minimum of 2 years.

I can see why you would think that was what I based it upon. Watch his tape. He is going to struggle in this league. He is not Bediako, Omoruyi, etc. He is not going to block shots, defend the rim and rebound. He does not have SEC athleticism.

We need another big. Williamson is going to struggle in the SEC. You can't just have Sherrel and Williamson as bigs.
Can't imagine being a freshman in college a ways from home and having to deal with this devastating loss. And trying to compete for a starting job at a major college while grieving your twin sister. Just awful for the kid and their family.

That is crazy. Would love to know the reason that dog commands so much respect.

This is entirely based upon NIL. Oats has so much less to work with then the big dogs. This is what likely leads him elsewhere. I have been told there is a very good chance this is his last year.

He was very frustrated with how hard he had to work to get Preston Murphy a raise and he realizes he cannot compete with many of the other schools at this point.

I think this current roster is in trouble for next year without a Philon return. Holloway is not a starter. He is not a point guard and he does not play defense. Wrightsell is coming of a torn achilles. We have no idea what he will bring. They need Philon to return.

As I had been told and posted back on 4/18 about Stojakovic to Illinois. Almost lost him to Stanford due to a girlfriend on their lacrosse team.

My same guy says Oats checking on Watkins right now to see how much will cost since Coward very likely to Duke.

Rylan still a ? as he would get more run at A&M.

Looking like Florida or UCONN for Desmond Claude. Most likely Florida.

Boogie Fland likely to the NBA but Illinois making a strong run with Orlando Antigua there.

Yes. Likely NC State.

I am trying to get some names from my source. All he can tell me right now is that Oats passed on Rylan and that it's either going to Duke or Bama for Coward. I will pass along anything else I get when he tells me.

Hearing Duke and Illinois out in front for him.

He is most likely going to Illinois. Deal almost done.

If Reid leaves, it's a big loss. Plus defender and athlete at 6'8".

I think I am most excited about Bethea. This guy was the number 7 overall ranked recruit in the 2024 class. 6'4" plus athlete that can shoot it. Give me guards like this dude and watch out.

Watch out if he is because it makes this years wide receiver group pretty amazing. Bernard, Williams, Horton, Brooks and Hale as just the beginning. So much potential. Good QB play and a line that gives the QB time and look out.

I hope you are correct because Reid has the most potential of anyone on the team. He is an incredible athlete.
I have literally only been to 1 Bama game in my life in any sport since I live out of state. The unfortunate part was it was in 2010 in Columbia for the USC game where Bama somehow lost 35-21 as they could not stop Alshon Jeffery. Those USC fans were absolutely brutal as we left the stadium and all the way back to the car. Me and my uncle, who has since passed from cancer, were called every cuss word that exists. Not that I started with any respect for there fans, but man do I now have zero respect for them.
