IMO this should be the major backup plan. I've heard a plan floated that we might get a HS player to reclassify if we miss out on either Allen or Holloway. I'd be far more comfortable convincing a Euro player to commit due to the unknown of a HS kid adapting.

He can absolutely have a monster NIL nest egg and improve his draft stock. There is no downside to coming back.
He can go ask Charles Bediako what happens if he chooses poorly.
So far it looks like Allen will get a late first round grade. I hope he comes back.
That guaranteed contract is what they are looking for. The money difference between 24 and 32 is not a huge difference compared to last pick in 1st round to 1st pick in second round and the guaranteed contract.
I see the Barn got a commit from a 6-5 guard from Lithuania. Been playing in Australia and NBA G-League in addition to Golden State Warriors summer league.
The guy is 24 freaking years old. And knowing fecklessness of the NCAA they’ll probably give him 3 years of eligibility.
This stuff is ridiculous.

Doesn't seem that way at first glance, but they want a guarantee. If you're consistently 26-32, is that a solid enough guarantee? That gives him a small margin for error.
Yea, first round grade typically means lottery or close to it.
He might not fit in a lot of team’s plans, so he’s got to be undeniable with his talent, play , and potential.
2026 NBA mock draft: Projecting all 60 picks post-combine
Jeremy Woo's updated mock draft and predicting all 60 picks after an exciting week at the 2026 NBA combine.
ESPN now has Amari falling to the second pick of the second round. Supper is on the table, Amari. Come on home.
The way these kids are listening to agents now vs what they actually want to do or should like Sherrell did about leaving who knows what he’ll do. But fingers crossed.2026 NBA mock draft: Projecting all 60 picks post-combine

Lot of chatters that he might enroll for this year.
This is exactly why I was saying they have plans... We just have to trust process.
I still think Allen will come back. We'll find out within a week.
Diaz has skills. In the video of him, he's going up against elite competition, but you can tell he's got the goods.
RTR!!!

He's averaging 20 points right now during EYEBL summer league. Not only that, I really like how he creates opportunities for himself and others.
He is from the Bronx. A shifty lefty. Borderline 5 star kid.
Love NYC BB players, especially PGs. Usually smart, almost always tough as nails, mentally and physically. They fear nothing.

From the video I watched, he's a left-handed version of Philon. His "hesitation dribble game" looks to be unguardable at times (like Philon's) and I think his vision might be better than Philon's even now. A few weeks ago, I said I'd rather have a Euro than a HS reclassification due to the unknown about how a HSer would adapt. In looking at this particular kid, I'd say that if he reclassifies he likely needs to start from day one (unlike Philon) because his passing is better than either Allen or Holloway IMO. Great get from Oats... game changer here IMO.

As a reclass, I'd think he'd like come off the bench to start the season (if Aden is back)
PG - Aden
SG - Amari
SF - Jemison
PF/C - who knows...2 of the four we grabbed
With the 4 Freshmen coming in right behind --
With that lineup, he's got some ballers... we have options!
I hope this happens!

Deadline for withdrawing from draft is midnight tonight so we should know something at some point today.
Contrary to what some may choose to believe, the recent commitment of 4-star 2027 guard Anderson Diaz is not part of Alabama's "Plan B." The belief is that Diaz will work toward a reclassification in the coming months that puts him on Alabama's 2026-27 roster, but that's part of "Plan A" with Allen and Holloway also in tow.
Two tidbits: everyone polled said he should return, Diaz reclassifying was the plan all along.
