Roster Management for 24-25

[BamaMoon]

Yeah, I agree that I wanted to see KP suit up at Bama. 6'9" guard is a unique thing!

In the NIL world, are scholarships as important as they used to be?

Good question. I wonder if there are any players anywhere that aren’t taking a scholarship and pay their own way with NIL money. Though with the cost of college now, probably not.

There are a couple of good centers in the portal, Ballo from Arizona and Omoyuri from Rutgers.

I wish we could snag a legit force at center. Imagine what this season would have looked like with Eddy playing for us. I think very similar to the year UConn had

We didn't need an Edey imo. We probably wouldn't have wanted one either. We needed Bediako.

If I recall Ballo was legit. Not sure how he fits what we'd prefer at a traditional #5??? If he's visiting that means the staff must think he worth taking a serious look at.

That's good. Would be nice to have options when the shots aren't falling and we need to slug it out with the "physical" teams in CBB.

Interesting. This is the first and only mock draft I've seen with him being taken in either round. It will be interesting to see what he does.

While we in looking in the portal, I would take a peek at these two:

Would love to see us get a visit from Aaron Bradshaw.

And I am intrigued by Maxime Raynaud. Have not seen him play, but at 250 lbs, he should be able to hold his own.

Gotta look at the right fit, and playing style.

Ideally we would pick up a rim protector and that's it, because that would mean most everyone is returning.

What?!? Nooooooooo.

Sounds like $$$$$$. Maybe we can make an offer to reel him back in. If there was one guy I didn't wanna lose it was Griffen .

I imagine NIL also. He was saying last week that oats is a great coach and will win a national championship. So why leave.

I just don’t know if I understand what anyone’s motivation is other than money. These kids want to provide for their families. They want to be fawned over. They want to be talked about.

but if there was one kid I thought was above that, it was this one. We may well lose everyone from last year. Every single one
