2025 Basketball Recruiting

The timing of all this couldn't sound more promising.

I know NOTHING except some are predicting BYU has the inside angle. Let's face it, he'll get to the league playing anywhere, but I really think the recent SEC/ACC challenge results, our final four run last year, plus our entertaining pre-SEC schedule/TV time should make him think a lot about playing for CNO/Bama. If he wants to be sharpened and improved in the 1 year he's in college, Bama is a good a place as possible to take up a one year residency. Plus, he can watch some good SEC football too!

I just replied to this post because I want everyone to read it again.

@BamaMoon has summed up the situation very succinctly. Well done.

You guys are correct. There will be considerable turnover. I would expect Coach Oats to bring in another mix of transfer and freshmen like he did this year.

I would venture to say that if any one of this years team is sitting the fence at the end of the season, they might would stay another year just to play with AJ.

Will be a fun ride if AJ decides to come to Tuscaloosa.

Considerable turnover every year. Two years ago we had three returning players and this past year it was four. Just the way it is and will always be now. Big time fingers crossed we get good news tomorrow with AJ.

Trelly could be back too. Plus Cunningham.

BAMA / UNC game might have given Dybantsa SR some serious thoughts to ruminate on since Wednesday night.

The Dybantsas have been to BYU games, but can't imagine they have seen anything like the show Dad saw at the Dean Smith Center this week.

As others have said, if AJ wants to be a part of exciting, competitive basketball in college, the answer to the question is probably not BYU.

As stated before, I don't believe the money thing will be the deciding factor.

BAMA has everything he needs to get him through one year of school and on to the "big pay check."

I think bigger than anything is Oates has proven that he can take a "one and done" guy and have great success. His system is very player friendly and allows athletes to be athletes. Brandon Miller gives us precedent. What Philon is doing this year may be the straw that breaks the camel's back...

Saw some people saying BYU upped their offer again. The guy who retracted his CB for BYU placed it for BYU again but said that it was just a guess for him.

Don't think anyone knows what AJ has decided at this point. I think that bodes well for us.

The guy that had UA listed on Rivals has now changed it to BYU. They have 3 predictions for BYU and none for us.

Mormans opening up the NIL bank, I suppose.

 

[bamadwain]

Just heard it's between Bama and Carolina, BYU is out, so we will see here soon

Now that is interesting. This has been a whirlwind 24 hours.

BAMA is the logical choice here. The only reason he goes elsewhere would probably be the money. I can't sit here and condemn him for that.

If that turns out to be the case, I'm fine with that. I can see pros and cons to having a multi-million dollar player on your team. I think he is a great player.

Right now I believe the BAMA staff thinks he's coming to Tuscaloosa.

Roll Tide, either way. .

 

[BhamToTexas]

BYU. Dang

 

[TiderJack]

Money won out.

 

[dayhiker]

well darn.

 

[CrimsonEyeshade]

Too bad.

 

[BamaHoopsBoi]

Well darn. Good luck to the guy, he's gonna be special.
