Yeah, who knows. I heard almost the exact opposite for all four players. lol.
Baker-Mazara will be the first player in NCAA history to receive a scholarship, NIL, and Social Security in the same season.
Philon isn’t getting a first round grade so I think he’s looking for big money if he’s leaving. I’ve seen that a few places too. If he does leave we are in trouble imo
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.
Losing Philon would be crucial. Idk if I see that happening with some of the draft grades though. I'd see him transferring for money before going into the draft.
The 8 rebounds per game average is pretty impressive. I’m all for stocking up on bigs.
Agree. IMO, it would signal that Alabama is woefully short on the NIL front, thus likely Oats days are numbered, unless they have something better up their sleeve.
Not really...
That reality terrifies me. I really don't see us competing with other top programs NIL wise. I hope that changes but i'm not optimistic on that front.
It is honestly a concern for all of our programs atm...
I expect their to be some parameters set up in the next year or so to try and get a more level playing field.
