Alabama Basketball Roster Tracker 2026-2027

Amari Allen to the draft. Not really surprised by this, surely he will be back after getting feedback.

Other than him simply "staying" this is the best scenario! He'll get the info he needs (like Philon) and hopefully he'll be back for year 2.

Ironically, although they are very different in their body and playing styles, he needs to do one of the things Philon was told: shoot the 3 better!

If he improves his 3 point shot, his dribble drive game to the hoop will be so much more deadly!
 
My fandom is lagging with the new world of free transfers.
It bothers everyone. Even those who aren't 24/7 fans like most of us!

But, I've decided that the current system "is what it is" and I might as well enjoy it because the alternative of not being a fan is not an option (at least for me)!!!

I think some grown-ups will listen to folks like CNS and they'll eventually step in and offer change because it is not sustainable, but until they do, it is what it is!

It'll eventually come down to Congress passing some new laws, so I don't have a ton of optimism for anything to happen fast. But it's hard to imagine this NOT being a bipartisan move because NOBODY likes it!

We have good depth at both forwards and center now which is good but almost nothing at guard. They must really expect Holloway back but that still feels up in the air. The only other true guard on the roster is Preston Murphy but I don’t see him as a legit rotation type guy at the major conference level. I was really hoping for the freshman guards from Forman who killed UConn or the freshman guard from Hofstra who killed us and played lot like Sears in the game against us.(he went to Nc State).

Agree. Getting Fielder took this portal class from a C to a B but I do think we need a proven guard/ball handler type. If Allen comes back that helps but doesn’t solve the issue. I can’t count Holloway who if comes back hopefully is super cheap so we have money that can go to one more guy. Just don’t want to be freshman dependent

We will have Allen and I expect us to pick up one more guard. It'll round out to 4 guards on team with someone big carrying the ball once in a while.
 
Here are some guard suggestions from Bama Hammer.

Some good options. But we are down to folks that nobody has heard of, at this point.

That's probably not a bad thing because CNO is a guard whisperer.

I suspect he'll find a workable solution. I suppose the PG situation might be a step down from last year, but as a whole, the guard/perimeter play will hopefully be improved, especially if Allen returns...for sure if both Allen and Holloway are back!
 
I think we need another guard as well, but it may be that CNO really believes the 3 true freshmen we signed will be impact players!

I do expect us to sign another guard, even if it is simply a depth guy!
He was sure right about Allen in this last recruiting cycle, it's a shame that he was never given a 5th star on his HS rankings. He deserved every bit.
