All good points and I hope they are true. Ole miss has been buying players for a very long time. Tunsil? It would be interesting to see if football money(NIL or otherwise) flows to basketball at these other “football schools”….

Who did we get outbid on besides the BYU guy that went for like 3.5?
I know we were in on the (LSU)Chest kid and (UAB)Lendenborg. Michigan and Ole Miss. I know Michigan spends the money. Ole Miss has always spent money as well. The Burries kid went to Arizona. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out we were probably out-bid on one or all of those. We finally have a coach that can get the job done and I just want to hang on to him.

I think all of this NIL stuff is overblown… at the end of the day the elite coaches will win and players will come to play for them. As long as Nate Oats is our coach we are fine.
That is my point. I read many articles that claim that we think we have a "Nate Oats discount" so we don't pay as much as some will. My hope is we don't make our NIL decisions based on that supposed discount. I think that was true in Nick Saban's case, but that is a one time type thing. You have to give Nate all the tools he needs or he will be gone..... :cheers:

Alabama is in a great position as far as coaching goes. Nate is the best we have ever had and it isn't close IMO. As far as recruiting and the transfer portal goes..... I like what we have brought in in the last couple of weeks. I also feel like we have been outbid in some of the players we want. My fear is this: Do the "FOG" board of trustees and/or Greg Byrne actually think that Nate is going to stick around and continually get outbid for players that he knows can help him win a National Championship?? I think that is extremely naive if so. Those players will make a difference against the UCONN's and Dukes of the tournament world. I just hope we have more sense than to allow Nate to leave because of these type issues. How many times has Bryant-Denny been upgraded in the 6 years Nate has been on campus? We can't find any money for Basketball?? Come on man!! Discuss......

When Wimp was at Alabama and Sonny was at Auburn basketball interest was on the rise. Then a drop off.
Today, both programs are very successful and fans of both programs are very passionate. I know football is first but I never thought basketball would reach this level.
Excellent coaches on both sides have made this happen.
I still miss Sonny and Wimp on the radio! They were hilarious.

Actually I would. I said 2 months ago that they were the best team. :cheers:
