I'm sure the communications with Philon's people and Alabama are very open and a plan is in place if he does or does not decide to come back. Hoping he does.
Transfer portal opens today.

Yeah... the timing of the portal relative to the NBA draft is tough to navigate. The truth is, if we knew he was gone right now, we could go get the best PG available due to the available funds. I'm sure there's a plan in place, BUT it's a plan with diminishing options and has a real chance of negatively affecting our ability to construct a roster.
I would be shocked if he wasn't gave a hard deadline on when he was to make a decision. I think the original headline was probably accurate in that he is going to the NBA. We more than likely are looking for a replacement as we speak. I wish him nothing but the best and could see a return being very beneficial to him but I also understand the allure to making the jump.
And Jaron Pierre, the kid from Jax State, has committed to SMU. Options are definitely dwindling. It may be someone new has to jump in the portal, as others have suggested, because of the open spaces at Bama.
I didn't really want him anyways. He's too much of an offensive liability for the way we play. Now granted, he would've been better than nothing, but maybe someone of interest at that position will enter.
We have had five or less returning players for the last 3-4 years so it is not new ground. It is the new landscape of the transfer portal/NIL. I saw where Bucky McMillan at A&M has no returning players.
As the roster stands RIGHT NOW, it is lacking for sure. However, CNO has proved to us in the past that he does know how to work the portal. I expect him to work his magic again.
Something needs to change about the transfer portal window, extend it or open it later so those who are testing the draft waters don't leave their previous teams high and dry. If the player has the free ability to come and go, the college should be able to do the same with its roster. That may make too much sense for the NCAA though.

Don't even get me started on the portal opening while the NCAA tournament is still going on...
Even more March Madness...Don't even get me started on the portal opening while the NCAA tournament is still going on...
Don't get too excited just yet. He's asking for lots of money. I don't think Bama will match it.
Doesn't feel like a need anyways. I'd rather have Griffen. We do need a pure scorer, but I'm still skeptical Eaglestaff is that in the SEC.
I’m more with you but I’m iffy on Griffen mostly because he had a poor season whether it was fit or not he just didn’t play well. A little because it’s annoying he left and that it’s killing the fun and rooting for players.
I would be more for Eaglestaff if he was a facilitator but it doesn’t seem like it so he is more take or leave. With that said I’ll take both vs not getting anyone. Just seems like we really need a facilitator.
