2026 Basketball Recruiting

he picked us! Looks like no one knew. Rivals had posted he picked Creighton and then deleted it, lol! Total Stunner -- 3 of the top 40 signees are in our list. Now at Top 8 recruiting class - if we get Holt -- we could be a top 2-3 class
Good news! Now if we can just land some big time talent inside either via recruiting or the transfer portal to go with all the wing type talent being brought in, we'll be in great shape!

I hate to break it to everyone -- he truly believes in positionless basketball. I don't know if he's going to sign a big man -- so hopefully there is a rim protector in the portal he's eyeing... (maybe from Bucknell, lol!)

After I posted earlier the insider that I know that has no Bama affiliation, posted this......

Last minute flip alert … Sounds like Bama is taking Richardson vs waiting on Holt and potentially losing both …

Oats finds a way …

As much as I would have loved Holt, it was probably a smart move to go with Richardson. Not sure we have the funds or real interest from Holt.

Richardson was one of my wants for this class. Glad Oats got him.
 
Some of you fooled us. Great pick-up and welcome Jaxon. Here is an article. Says he is the most explosive leapers in all of high school basketball. Check out the dunking highlights at bottom of the article. His dad and big bro are/were great players.

Positionless or not, we've got to have some guys that recruiting sites label as "4's" or "5's". Even if Collins gets cleared to play and we keep Sherrill and Bol Bowen, we'll need a few more guys who are tall enough and physical enough to play with the biggest boys in the SEC. I'd assume most of them will have the potential to effectively shoot a three also... maybe a Euro pro or two???

If this is not the year CNO uses the portal for that, I don't know when he will.

Right now our class is 3 shooting guards/forwards.

I'm not sold on Bol Bowen returning (JMO), so I think at least two rebounding/rim protector freaks would be ideal. And since Sherrell is really a stretch 5 and is more comfortable on the perimeter, I wish we'd load up with 3 or 4 more!

And, I would care if one or two of them had never hit a 3 if they can be effective in the paint, rebounding and/or can be a lob/rim protector threat!

Imagine a lineup of a 7 footer, Sherrell and 3 more guards/forwards who are shooters!
