What does CNO do with the portal this year???

[JustNeedMe81]

Can we have a running list of who Alabama is looking at in the portal?

Let's start a new thread of who's leaving, coming in and who we are targeting....

The big question though is even with us putting more in will it help. It sounds like many high level programs are putting more money into NIL funds for their teams. We were behind other before so even if we get up to their current level they had this year and they go up the same as us or even more we will still be behind. It’s like MLB the mid level teams are increasing their payroll last few years but the high level teams are increasing theirs by twice as much.

It’s not just NIL. Oats has to bring in some older, experienced 23 to 25 year olds and mix in European pros too.

Feel free to start one.

I don’t think he fits in with CNO style though. He is probably a 4 put he isn’t a stretch 4 type player we use in our system. He has made 0 3 pointers so far in his career and only attempted a couple. I assume he want to get bigger and stronger but not lose his style on offense.

I totally agree, plus he was just a role player for UT, so I would like to have the Strata guy instead from UT, don't know his whole name but he fits more coaches style

 

[JustNeedMe81]

Feel free to start one.

I couldn't because I was in rush due to me working in closed area today.

Hopefully we haven’t been talking to anyone or that would be tampering because you couldn’t officially be in the portal til today. We all know none of theses universities and coaches are doing any of that stuff

Agents can talk...

Hopefully CNO and staff will be taking "European Vacations" in the next few weeks...

That's certainly a fair assessment.

He has spent most of his career in the paint. Appears to be getting more and more comfortable there. Obviously, having had season-ending surgery, whatever growth/improvement for this year was only on display for a short period of time.

I do think he could contribute with his blocking/rebounding skills. He could also bring another level of experience and maturity to the roster. I don't expect him to be anything other than a 4, but apparently he could play the 5 if need be - or so I've read.

I have followed him over the past few years, just because of his pedigree, but i must admit, I haven't watched him play very often 'cause I just don't like orange.

He does not fit but I think CNO now knows you need some blue collar muscle and rim protecting that Phillips can do. We are also going after ex 5* combo guard Jasper Johnson from Kentucky that Bama Hammer is predicting we land that fits like a glove.

Brandon Garrison (6-10, F/C) from Kentucky transferring to Bama. Will have one year of eligibility remaining..

So with Garrison, Davis-Fleming, and Cloer via the portal and the assumption that Holloway finds his way back on the team, how many more roster spots are we looking to fill? By my count I think we are at 13 now assuming no more departures.

We lost: Houston, Trelly, Philon, Noah, TBB, Aiden, Bethea

We have 3 Freshmen. Three from portal. Aden. Allen. Hannah. Jamison. Bristow. Collins. So that’s 12. One current scholarship spot. Plus one non scholly spot.

At the moment.

Returnees (5)
* Allen
* Bristow
* Collins
* Hannah
* Jemison

HS Signees (3)
* Tarris Bouie
* Jaxon Richardson
* Qayden Samuels

Transfers (3)
* Cole Cloer
* Jamarion Davis-Fleming
* Brandon Garrison

Right now we've got 11 without Holloway. I believe we end up taking at least two more, with at least one being a point guard. With where we're at right now, I don't believe Holloway comes back and I think it's possible another guy could leave off the returnee list... whether Allen to the NBA or another guy.

I actually feel pretty confident that Holloway will be back. I'm still expecting his attorney (assuming he has the money for a good one, which he should), will get his charges down to misdemeanors, and then that will open the door for his return. Even in the worst case, I doubt he will do prison time, and I think he'll probably play as long as he doesn't time. The university has already made their stance clear, having cleared him after their own investigation.

As for the other spots, I'm still expecting a transfer or two. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think the collective has announced all these guys have re-signed. I don't wanna name names in case they stay, but there's at least one I still wouldn't be surprised if they transferred.

My hope is that we sign 2-3 more transfer guys, and that still leaves 1-2 more spots even if nobody else transfers. I will be slightly disappointed if we don't grab at least 1 europro.

So who is playing the 5 next year?

The University's investigation makes no difference. I think if Holloway pleas down to a misdemeanor he should/will be gone.
It's all about making good decisions and not screwing your team mates.
