Roster Management

[TiderJack]

Even though we will have talent in 2022, most of the older players will be gone

I agree experience is an important part of having a good team but UK has shown if you bring in enough talent you can still be young and win big time. I know our level of talent will most likely never be at a UK level but I think we can win with a young, talented team in 2022.

Who was the last GREAT hoops coach?

I would say Wimp. Period!

 

[teamplayer]

I just saw an article that described the success that we have been having in basketball recruiting the last few weeks. I thought I would come over here to see if anyone was talking about it, and you guys didn't let me down. Roll Tide!
I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe.

I disagree with never having the type of talent UK has. We have a top 15 class now and are not far off from UK. If CNO and team can show improvement next season and get to 20+ wins in season 2 we will have more top tier players looking our way and committing.

Picking up the superstar out of Calhoun HS would be major for this program. This kid is an absolute beast and could elevate this program to the next level. In my opinion he could be one of the top five to come out of this state.

C.M. Newton?

Kinda like a Julio situation. Make going to Bama cool again. Gotta get some of those guys instead of letting them escape to KY and then start winning more.

C.M. Newton?

I started to reply that way, but didn't because the question was last great coach. I think Wimp qualifies as the last great one.

With Bruner committing today to us who on this roster is odd man out I think it Smith.

 

[seebell]

Has Bruner committed to us?

 

[dayhiker]

Has Bruner committed to us?

He announces his choice at 2pm. The rumor mill is leaning towards the good guys.

I took it he meant Wimp was the "only" great coach at Bama. For sure Wimp is "last" but C.M. was great IMO.

Yeah, that's not the question that they asked.

 

[BamaMike05]

Jordan Bruner has committed to Alabama! Let’s go!

 

[mlingerfelt31]

Are we done or we going to get transfer from Ohio State LM?

 

[dayhiker]

Jordan Bruner has committed to Alabama! Let’s go!

Competition for playing time next year will be fierce.
I hope they can get to conditioning soon. That appeared to have been such a bonding part of last year after he was hired and we certainly needed that as the season played out.

 

[Bama9001]

Question on Bruner. Is he still going through the draft process?

 

[BAMAVILLE]

Kinda like a Julio situation. Make going to Bama cool again. Gotta get some of those guys instead of letting them escape to KY and then start winning more.

I agree but just to be fair, we've actually landed more of the Alabama Mr. Basketball award winners more times than not: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alabama_Mr._Basketball

 

[TiderJack]

Question on Bruner. Is he still going through the draft process?

I read where he said he is going to play another year of college so I believe he is no longer considering the NBA. Awesome pick-up. We are going to be dangerous and incredibly fun to watch next year. I can't wait.

 

[Red Silver]

Are we after another transfer a guard from OSU LM.
