I’m not sure about your situation, but 1 million doesn’t go that far today. I don’t blame any kid for trying to get as much as they can in this system.

When Saban stepped down and Caleb Downs took the $$$ from OSU, the talk radio tandem of Christian Miller and his father (Corey) here on Tuscaloosa sports talk weighed in on it. Christian's take was along the lines of "I can't believe he turned his back on Bama and bolted for the $". His...

With no PG news forthcoming, either we strongly believe Philon is coming back or there's another kid out there flying under the radar that we've targeted. There's no way we're going to roll with what we have on the roster at the moment.

Honestly, I’m wondering if it’s not going the route of lower profile players. Last year, there were a lot of egos on the team - and when you have to sit your seniors down and talk to them about defensive effort, there’s an issue. I’m wondering if Oats isn’t more interested in coaching up hungry...

I’ll up that to .04 cents. This roster looks far more like 23-24 than last year’s version. Am starting to hear rumblings that last year’s NIL was more of a one-year thing rather than a precedent to hit annually. Couple of things that could be in play here. One is that we don’t have the NIL...

Don’t think Don’t think Miller was as much a passer… but he was a dominant scorer and could pretty much drive at will and finish. It may be that we don’t get that player this cycle.

That’s the role Sears shouldered for us the past two years. He’s not a #1 draft pick. 🤦‍♂️

Speaking of pressing needs, THE most obvious need that I believe we have right now is the need for a triple-threat guy. Think about the guy in crunch time when you need a basket. He needs to be able to shoot the three, drive/finish at the rim, and pass off the drive to open guys. Say what you...

JMO, but we have guys who can back up the PG... Holloway being the most obvious. We have other needs at this point that are more pressing.

I mean… dude is 25 years old right? 🤓

Tigers losing a lot of maturity in this move. 😎

Yeah... the timing of the portal relative to the NBA draft is tough to navigate. The truth is, if we knew he was gone right now, we could go get the best PG available due to the available funds. I'm sure there's a plan in place, BUT it's a plan with diminishing options and has a real chance of...

There are whispers that are claiming Philon has left the door open to returning if the draft options don't fall his way... similar to what Sears did last year. The announcement didn't read that way, but that's what some are saying. TIFWIW

I know most of us would prefer to have him for another year, but if you look at it from LP’s shoes, development in the G League is probably more likely there than here. I don’t think his chances of flaming out are high - he’s got size and ability to score.

Yep… sometimes folks may jump onto the market due to such opportunities. 😉
