Many of the player reviews include an NIL valuation. Whenever I see one, I cringe a little but I really have no idea how various amounts come into play regarding Alabama's recruiting.

WHO does these NIL Valuations, anyways...

Just wondering if they are prone to bribery by certain schools in East Alabama.

It’s their value of what they could make with true NIL. Not what the school’s collective will offer them. That is my understanding anyway.

Yikes! My bad!

Ok, so who is doing these valuations and are they unbiased or are they $ubject to outside influences?

We have great length on this team. Was thinking someone had said that Riley has gotten taller but appears Pringle grew two inches!!

I know trends change, but man I remember just 20 years or so ago and if you had 2 guys close to 7 feet that was a big lineup.

This is insane!!!

But also, several of these guys are "skill" players too in the sense they are expected to dribble, pass and score from the outside!

Just shows how the game is evolving!

Wow. Parker was originally listed as 6'-6" on 247.

I say it all of the time. Positionless basketball.

Never know how accurate any of the listed heights are. Pringle is shown as 6'10" on the rolltide.com roster; interested to know if he has grown a little as I think he was listed as 6'9" last season?
