I do not understand why Oats believes in Brian Adams so much.

I think a big part of Philon's drop was his weight. He was told to gain weight, and didnt. He is one of the lightest players in the league.

Hornets should trade Miles Bridges to Philly for Philon and some cash. Gets them a solid backup PG behind White, and gets some $$ off their books.

20th in the AP feels disrespectful. Especially after the preseason computer models had us top 10 ish. But media in general is way down on this team, Fielder of 68 has us like 9th in conference or some stupid shite? Not even worth discussing amongst the leagues contenders in a video they put out last week.

I dont understand it. The length, skill, and depth on this team should make for Nate's best team at Alabama if they gel and the freshmen develop as they should. Bristow was our #2 center last year in terms of skill, and he will be something like the 5th big in the rotation this year?

Side note. Cloer will lead the team in scoring, be second in assists, be All SEC, and make 3rd team All American.

True but Oats' teams have never been truly stellar on playing D.

Dude has 2 top 10 defenses at Alabama.

People just say shite sometimes.

Crazy that we had Anderson and Turner at the same time in back to back years and still somehow didn’t have the no.1 defense in the country either year

and they played in front of a secondary with like 7 guys currently in the NFL.

Henry and Gibbs both absolutely wrecking defenses already.

We had a recording of the 92 LSU game on VHS. I especially remember the 10,000 "LIKE A ROCK" Chevy commercials that played during the game. I wore that tape out.

We are already a top contender, imo, but Kohler would put us in the top 3. Could you imagine running out a lineup of Allen, Cloer, Garrison, Fielder, and Kohler if we needed to?

This puts Bama into the top 10 list for biggest frontcourts in CBB. 82.6 inch average. Ties us with UCONN and UNC.

Watching his highlights, he wont see the floor this year unless injuries have devastated us. But I see potential. He's obviously still learning, but has a soft touch when needed, long arms and can jump a bit when he needs too. I love that we took a chance on him. Give him a year of S&C and learning, and I bet he will flourish.

edit: has fairly quick feet too. Hes not stuck in mud.

I mean, 2026 seniors did kinda get screwed. everyone ahead of them got a covid year, everyone after gets 5 for 5. Theyre sandwiched. Only guy we had that would be eligible for this if it went nationwide would be the only senior we dont want back :lol:
