It's hard to pick just one. They all gave me a level of excitement that was amazing. I guess it also has to do with your personal circumstances around the game, who you were with, etc. If I had to choose, I would have to say that 1999 SEC title game one would probably be it. Battling with...

My favorites and most fun that I've seen in person (in chronological order): * Notre Dame in Birmingham in 1986 - Waxed the Irish, Bennett's sack, I was 12 and in awe of the setting. * Tennessee in Birmingham in 1987 - We were at the Memphis game the week before in Memphis where we got upset...

6'8" 180 lbs is what he is listed at.

How late would they be able to sign with someone else? I guess up until when the fall semester starts?

The portal closes today, correct? And we still have three spots open with very little buzz about anyone. This, by far, is the weirdest year yet!

It's being reported that Lee is down to Florida and St. John's. No word or buzz that Bama is even involved.

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.

Murphy has committed to Auburn so he's out of the picture.

Welp, 3 spots available. And the transfer portal closes in 8 days I believe, April 22nd. Got to work pretty fast with no established alpha dogs on the current roster. Some may develop into one, but no one is proven. It's a little scary at this point.

Outside of Philon, we have 2 spots open. 4 returning players, 3 transfers in, 3 new freshmen = 10 scholarships. Philon would make 11. You can have a total of 13 scholarships so 2 spots remaining.

I hope this is the way it goes down; although, we might need another bigger guard versus Murphy. The kid from Texas Tech (I think it's Williams?) has great size and can shoot the three. He would bring a lot of toughness. I guess the only question is if he could keep up in Oats' system.

I wish the kid well, but I am really glad to see this one. He just isn't strong enough to play at this level. This means if Philon and Reid return, we have one spot left with the current scholarship regulations.

Wanted too much in NIL, so we had to let them go LOL. 😆 I was wondering why he was the only one as well.

This is a good point. I like different styles of play as well; but you shouldn't change the rules for the different styles. And I'm with you on offensive players initiating contact. When I see them jump horizontally into a defender (who has the right to his position), and the defender gets...

I was thinking this very thing last night. The problem is at some point, basketball folks decided it's OK to keep one hand or arm on an offensive player at all times. It's OK as long as you don't put two hands on them. So, Houston takes full advantage of that. But they are doing what other...

The writing was on the wall when after the Duke game, he said he deserved more minutes and all the guys on the team knew it. Plus, he was probably asking for more money and I don't think he would ever be a starter at Bama. Someone referred to it but I think he frustrated Oats with his lack of...

Fair point. But at least with Sears (and Nelson at times), you had someone who would drive to the basket and draw a foul, score, or set up a teammate for a score. And take the pressure shots. We don't really have anyone even like that at this point for sure. I'm sure Oats will take care of...

I'm not sure we have a proven guy right now who you can give the ball to and tell them to get a bucket or make a play offensively when you really need it. And that includes Philon if he were to come back. Maybe one of the guys on the roster currently will develop into that but no one's really...

He has been named G-League player of the year.. Big accomplishment for him. But I am a huge Celtics fan and watch them a lot; they just don’t seem to really like him at the NBA level. He’s gotten very little playing time this year. They’ve given much more time to that Baylor Scheierman who...

Obviously, Griffen was a productive player for us at times but I don't want him back. He plays too "aloof" and is not what we need to play with the elite teams. Go back and rewatch the UConn Final 4 game last year. We were competitive deep into the second half but because of lapses by Griffen...
