I really don't know why they both haven't said publicly what they are doing. I know today is the deadline, but I can't imagine there's more info to consider today before midnight.
Roster Management for 24-25
- Thread starter CajunCrimson
- Start date
Sears is working out with Milwaukee today, so his won't come till later in the day probably. Just based on what's been said by coach and Sears, I get the feeling he's back if he doesn't get a guarantee from them.
Those saying that staying another year is better than g league, can you explain why a year in college (other than academics) would be better than in the pros/g league? I think the min salary is 40k there for 5 months. No idea what he would get at Bama. He can do all the training and everything in the league, get coached by their coaches. What advantage is college other than looking at it like a fan? He may not even start at Bama which would waste time vs being in the league starting or not.
not saying I think leaving is the better choice or that JS is ready cause I don’t. Just curious.

I've taken a look at some of the early 2025 mock drafts, and I've seen him projected as a first rounder next year. On the other hand, nobody really expects him to be drafted this year, so it would seem like a no brainer to me: stay one more year and be a first rounder next year However, to be fair, Nelson is back, so maybe he's worried about playing time, but if that were the case, you'd think he'd have entered the portal when he had the chance so idk.
Once you get pigeonholed, as a G league kid, your trajectory is greatly influenced. Whereas, if you have another year in college, and work on your game, you can work up to the draft. Then, if you’re in the first round, you’re more than likely to start with the team. Where the other way, is a huge uphill battle.
If you can only make 40K in the g-league OR play for Bama and likely get that much or more in NIL AND play for an SEC or NC I think that would be a lot more fun.
Easy for me to say, full of Bama and all.

I have not payed attention in since before 2020 but the below is a good percentage.
“At the start of the 2023-24 NBA season, 50% of players on opening-night rosters possessed G League experience, which is a record, according to the G League. Forty-seven percent of players on NBA start-of-season rosters for 2022-23 had G League experience”
Especially if he got offered a spot on ignite who are doing a good job producing guys. G league seems to be doing better than before. A lot of college is more “ifs” to me. If he can start or play a lot. If the team does well his name will be bigger. Obviously a lot of those ifs are got the g league too but it’s working full time with pros to better yourself focusing only on you vs college with school and more worried about winning vs possibly having more of a role due to what the team needs instead of showing full skill set.
Idk just having a fun convo until we know if they are staying. As a college type person I would prefer playing at Bama than a g league but I do understand why going.
For context on the money aspect, the G-league games I've come across are as or more empty than an WNBA arena.
Well just recently I'd say the main reason would be $$$.
40k is nothing compared to what he'd most likely receive at Bama. Of course there are other factors but it seems to be the most important in this landscape.
Been to a few Squadron games and they always have very few fans. So little in fact that you can hear the players talking on the court lol
On May 1, the window closed to enter the portal. For those already in, is there an end date on when they can transfer? Noticing that Kris Parker hasn't transferred is what triggered the question.
I got to thinking, he may not need the money. Dad played in Korea for 15ish years. According to the Internet, the average salary there is 250k to 400k USD. That's not as much as the NBA, but it's a doctor salary. If he managed his money right, then his family would be set for a long time.
I really wanted to see what a 6'9" guard would look like in Crimson!
Don't think so. Just nobody new can enter the portal until the end of next season, I believe.
I had that question a while back and I think the answer is there is no end date. I don't know when the portal opens again, but he cannot come back to Bama and be eligible for 2024-25 season.
I guess the good news here is the deadline is midnight eastern rather than central time
Are you sure? It's my understanding that players can exit the portal at any time if they haven't actually transferred. It would be up to the school whether or not he could come back. I don't know this for sure, but that's what my brief research came back with.
