I have been told there is a very good chance this is his last year.


I don't think he goes anywhere until his daughters are through school and if he wanted to go somewhere with more NIL or resources for basketball he wouldn't have turned down the Kentucky and Texas jobs.

This team with just Rylan and Bristow is a top 25 team. This team with LP, Rylan and Bristow is top 15, borderline top 10.


With just Rylan and Bristow the frontcourt is hilariously inexperienced and lacking quality depth. And is counting on somehow developing one of our many SG into a serviceable PG. If everything works out absolutely perfectly they're fringe top 25. With Philon back I agree they jump to top 10-15 quality. And yet they'd be one Philon injury away from being back in boat number 1. It's perfectly reasonable to be concerned at this point in the off-season.

This team right here would be the one that wins it all.


Pardon me but that's horseshite. This roster as is plus Rylan and Bristow as the lone additions is a 7 or 8 seed at best and 50/50 to make it out of the first weekend. Especially with how brutally Nate schedules. And spare me the "I have faith in Oats" speil. So do we all. But being realistic that we've kinda struck out in the portal on our biggest needs so far is just being realistic not having a lack of faith.

Yeah he gone. What a disastrous off-season so far.

He's fast. That's it. His vision is subpar. He hands it off when he should keep and keeps when he should hand it off. He's also just as likely to run himself into a tackle as he is to avoid it.

What you guys think?


I think you went from yelling calm down you love the roster to asking if it'd be a bad idea to bring Pringle back in less than 24 hours. Doesn't seem like a great sign.

Frontcourt lost Nelson, Cliff, Stevenson, Reid, Mo, and Naas. Hell we even lost Max. The only returning minutes is Sherrell. If you think that's not a problem you're a fricking idiot.

Yeah it'll be great watching him play his way into a lottery pick at Georgia next season while our frontcourt consists of Sherill and a bunch of transfers and freshman.

FWIW, all 3 QBs got snaps with the 1s today.


Almost like there might have been some truth to Low's tweet that it's a legit race. See I can read.

But I was told Keelon would only get 2nd and 3rd team reps in this very thread. How can that be?

Not sure how losing a trade war with China knocks them down a peg or two but ok.

I think I'll take Chris Low's report over a bunch of message board "insiders".
Main takeaway from this thread: the average age for posters on this board is old as frick. Explains so much.

2000 Ole Miss at Alabama for me.

This is a damn good national title game.

no way we out physical a team like Houston next year


Nate is 3-0 against Houston with 3 wildly different rosters. Our additions so far seem designed to address our struggles against physical teams. Between our recruiting class and the portal we haven't brought in anyone under 6'5".

at best Gary


To be fair statistically he's much closer to Gary's career trajectory than Herb's. I don't know why people are taking that as some kind of knock on the guy.

Hopefully means Reid is staying.
