re: Tide Hoops | Offseason

Looks like there are rumors of us potentially landing Sean Pedulla out of nowhere. I thought landing Holloway made me skeptical Sears would return. Landing both makes me think it's a sure thing he's gone. Edit: This would be huge if true and 2 huge consolation prizes, but I'd be heartbroken knowi...

[quote]Re: Pollard Didn’t his Mom get into trouble with the law right after his enrollment here? She kidnapped someone’ s child it was said, May have been other charges too. That’s enough to mess up anyone’s season.[/quote] Yup. And she made Devonta drive the getaway car. Strange family. Devon...

[quote]Isn't Storr more of a driving guard? Seems like they could fit together.[/quote] They added Zeke Mayo and returned Dajuan Harris as well. He could start over Mayo perhaps, but I'd bet against it. Not to mention 6th man at Kansas isn't the same as the 6th man here. Self is known to play ...

[quote]Bro you have been a bama basketball fan for too long to make that statement.[/quote] [quote]Pollard is the only one I can think of that we have signed who was basically unplayable.[/quote] And even his numbers in his final collegiate season at Houston his numbers were 14 PPG and 6 RPG w...

[quote]Is Fland realistic? Unless he was already having second thoughts I assumed he'd just follow Cal to Arkansas.[/quote] He says he's completely wide open, and from what I can remember there wasn't that big of a gap between us and Kentucky when he picked them. We've made a Final Four since and...

[quote]Nelson on the other hand should definitely come back imo. Unlike Sears, his NBA stock has a lot of room to grow with one more year in CNO's system, [b]especially now that he'd be playing next to a real center.[/b] He should come back.[/quote] I know there's been some smoke, but so many peo...

PG - Sears SG - Wrightsell, Youngblood, SF - Reid, Mallette, Cunningham PF - Nelson, Stevenson, Dioubate C - Sherrell, Wague Let's say no one else leaves... What would you realistically want from the portal? I think I'd go Omoruyi and Fland. Obviously I'd like McNeeley too, but we defini...

Most people after reading that statement: [quote]Good luck to Mark. He deserves all the blessings he's received and will get. Gonna miss the hell out of him. Now that it's official, let's go get a PG.[/quote] Me: [img]https://i.gifer.com/2oN.gif[/img]...

[quote]Oats is close to getting me to the same place Saban did with recruiting. Where I know we are getting great players, and quit following recruiting to avoid the BS and drama.[/quote] This describes me so much when it comes to football recruiting.

[quote]There was a line of thinking emerging not long ago that in-state Texas would be a player for former Indiana commit Liam McNeeley, but that doesn’t seem to be the case. There simply doesn’t seem to be much contact between the five-star forward and the Longhorns at this juncture, and a union be...

I also don't think Nate is a big fan of 1-dimensional guards/wings, no matter how good that one aspect is. But then again, Brea might be one of those ultra elite shooters that he hopes he can help him grow their offensive toolkit. ...

[quote]Hopefully. I got really sick of people dogging him all the time. Estrada isn't an explosive athlete by any stretch of the imagination, but he's quick and he's pretty relentless when it comes to getting the ball into the paint. Anyone who has paid attention the last 5 years knows that our offe...

[quote]Now in my Alabama Basketball Fantasy Land, the guy I'm holding out hope for is Ryan Kalkbrenner. He still has a covid year left, and hasn't decided about using it or going pro. He's not super high on most mock drafts, and maybe he'll feel like he's done all he can do at Creighton. He's worked...

[quote]Yeah. The subject was great defenders in college who aren't tall. Try to keep up.[/quote] And Kemba was never a great defender even in college. Trying does not equate to being a great defender. There are so many good examples of great defenders who were shorter and you chose horrible examp...
