Cajun went out into Booger Woods and found 13 rusty Mason jars full of money and helped the NIL collective.
What unexpected piece of late night Twitter news!
I don't know what changed, but since the news on PG transfers had gone cold (this may be why) this is excellent news.
I was very concerned about the hole he left; excited he's gonna fill it again!
With Philon and Wrightsel, we could have the best defensive guards in the SEC
I really think in the long run Philon won't regret playing another year.
He's got some obvious strengths that the league loves, but he's got some weaknesses that another year of SEC level play will help hone.
I think the two biggest areas of improvement will be:
1. Inside-out passing, which a CNO PG is required to do. Sears was the best I've ever seen with what seemed like eyes in the back of his head at times. That's one area!
2. Most obviuosly is Philon improving his 3 point percentages. It got better as the season went on, but he struggled early last year. If he accomplishes becoming a legitimate threat (say 35% or better), that'll make his dribble/drive game to the rim even better!
I think the USC guy is still in play.
If we can get him, I'd take him in a heartbeat. With this size he could play the #2 when needed.
But I figure he'll want a spot where he's the guaranteed #1 PG. But if CNO can work it, I'd love to see him in Crimson!
Hope we can pull him too… but think it’s tougher now that there’s seemingly more teams involved. Great news on LP - big winner on that front is Holloway IMO.
Don’t think that was ever in question. I think it was more how talented the players that fill the spot were going to be.
Is Cousins back?Florida just got a player from the portal from Arkansas named "Boogie".......and (reportedly) will be paying north of $2 million for the privilege!
John Mitchell at BamaHammer.com seems to think we've called off the dogs ...
Alabama calls off pursuit of heralded Transfer Portal target following Philon's return
Nate Oats and Alabama had been one of the top teams in contention for USC transfer guard/wing Desmond Claude. Claude is one of the top remaining players availab

After last season, I wish he would take that last scholly and find some kid that can give you 5-8 minutes at PG in an emergency who can play defense and dribble like a maniac. Just in case you need him.
Hard to disagree with this take. I’d go a step further and say a backup PG so Holloway could concentrate fully on SG.
