Burning a redshirt is not that big of a deal at a program like Alabama. Most players who are ready for the NFL only need 3 years. Even after this year he has 3 full years left in the program. Don't think of it as he is the difference of winning or losing. I will think of it more like, does...

i wasn't able to see the game tonight. judging by the numbers looked like we shot the ball from distance well. hope that continues. anything else stood out besides Pollard having the green light?

This team will take some time to fully gel and play to their potential but I enjoy seeing the individuals really develop their identities. Lacey has the confidence to become a leader on the court. Nice to see his hardwork on shooting during the offseason coming to light.

This is great news. I followed the link and his stats sound like he can become a terror on the glass and with the blocks. I have never seen him play but at 6'10" and 235, he has room to grow into a real good center. Talented big men are not easy to find.

That makes sense. Lil bit before my time so I don't really remember how college baseball and basketball looked in the 70s. @jangalang I don't think this really affects us. So many good basketball players out there it is rare that we would end up competing for the same guys.

I love this move for the sec. The SEC will play second fiddle to no one. With basketball combining the divisions this will help the rpi of all of us. The better the conference the more teams get into the tourney. Has anyone else realized that South Carolina won the college world series, BAma...

Re: Shaka Smart turns down Illinios I think it would be a lateral move for CAG now b/c he has the foundation of what he wants in tuscaloosa now and Illinois is down in talent right now. I think Smart made a bold move by turning this job down but you can destroy your momentum in climbing the...

Can't help but agree with Engtrom. Don't know if its true but I felt that many times this year coach restricted what we did on offense. I don't think he fully trusted the players b/c they were so young. But he kind of gradually loosened the reins but not totally. I think that was in his head...

http://www.al.com/sports/index.ssf/2012/03/willy_kouassi_bernard_morena_g.html basically the article states that auburn has released 2 players from its team to make room for new commits (where's the public outcry, oh wait, its not Nick Saban.) Willy Kouassi is a center and Bernard Morena is a...

Re: Brando's Comments Bama is not a bball school. If you ask the vast student body or fanbase what is one sport they can't live without, over 90% would say football. We are a football, gymnastics, & softball school for right now. Lets win a championship in bball or got to the final four back to...

If we were the coach, what would be one thing you would say to each player that you want them to work on in the offseason? Obviously we want all of them to improve in all areas but if you just had to see just one area they could become proficient in. Andrew Steele -- dribbling, b/c i believe...

Adding another wing scorer will help this team. We are still looking for a guy who can be our consistent go to player at the end of the game. Plus, more competition on the wing will bring out the best in everyone. I believe that Coach Grant made us defer to Green b/c of the talent on the...

Since this occured with Tn's former employee, it pains me to say this but I think the punishment should hit the man and not the school. Bruce Pearl's excile from DI sports should be extended with this new allegation.

anyone in foul trouble?

not watching cause i'm at work. doesn't seem to be many fouls called. clean game or refs just letting them play?
