Alabama Basketball Roster Tracker 2026-2027

I like the Garrison addition. Dude has a high motor, strong, athletic and can defend/ grab rebounds. Don't need him to shoot threes.

Would probably want too much money but if we want defense and rebounding I'd take Mo Dioubate back in a second.

I'm hoping for more than Johnson (if coming to Bama from UK) and Garrison from UK. Maybe they are inexpensive and fill some roles or maybe they can break out this upcoming season in Coach Oats's system.

I'm guessing the Bama staff could be holding some big money out for a specific player or two.

We don’t need scorers around the rim. We need somebody that can get 8 to 12 points some nights and grab 8 to 10 boards some nights. We are going to have guys all over the place in the 6’5”-6’9” range.

What we need are two more ball handlers. And one more big around 6’ 10” that’s got some bulk.

I know everyone thinks we have to have thug ball like everybody else, I just don’t think we do. We just need some guys down low with a decent motor. That’s not afraid to dunk the ball.

He scored 8+ points 6 times last year in 36 games. 2 of the games were there first two games of season vs. Nicholas State and Valparaiso who they beat by a combined 74 points. He got 8+ rebounds in 2 game all season. 1 vs Loyola Maryland who they beat by 42. He got 7 of those rebounds the last 12 minutes of the game in which they were leading 66-24. So he basically never did that unless it was in garbage time. If your expecting that from him much at all your most likely going to be disappointed all season waiting for that.

Noah Williamson 2.0?

I am thinking more Mohamed Wague. Both 6-10 with some strength and size. Neither has much offensive skill and not a threat at all from the outside. They both were guys that have some experience playing in power 5 conferences so you have more idea what you will get. Williamson was more of a question mark because of competition and his lack of foot speed and agility was very evident all year. It isn’t a terrible signing but we need the other guys we bring in to be more consistent and help us keep that high level of play we have had for few years.

Yep. Sounds like Nick Pringle numbers. I think people will be surprised at how he fits the system. He’s not Noah.

The two big guys from KY and Miss. St. makes me think CNO is going after some lower profile guys to bulk up the strength and rebounding of our front court. We don't get too many garbage points, but these are those kind of players.

I'm pretty sure there will be some more dynamic players we'll be after, but these type and important role players that will help us in the paint.

He appears to be Sherrell Lite - a big body but a perimeter mindset. Not what we need.

Garrison and Davis-Fleming have similar builds and stats. At some point, it's a numbers game. Just like in MLB with the bullpen guys, you bring in enough similar guys that one of the group typically will produce what you're looking for... and occasionally you get a guy who blows up and becomes much better. Not headlining portal moves, but they are important.

I'll say this also. As opposed to getting two guys last year from lower leagues with better stats, I'm more in favor of getting guys who have played on the D1 level. Though Bol-Bowen didn't blow us away last year, he was a better pickup than Williamson and Bristow.

On Bristow, we may never know what - or who — held him back. But let’s remember that in his first game with us — against a plethora of European professionals suiting up for a future Final Four team — he was the best player on the floor. That version of Bristow is most certainly welcome to return.

Lost track. Is Bristow back or did he portal out...? 🤔
