Nelson to Bama!
- Thread starter senonesy
- Start date
Dang, they might be pretty good again this year. Don't care so much for their coach but he is making Bama relevant in college basketball.
I really wanted him here but he wasn't even interested in UK at all.
He proved last year what kind of person he is and its not good.
Don't see that happening at all.Maybe Arkansas.
taking 5 stars all day long over this guy, he won’t average those numbers in the SEC…..
Yeah Oklahoma or some west coast is fine with me. Just no duke or another SEC school
Who knows? We have one spot left and if I remember correctly, Coach Musselman recruited Brown when he was at Nevada and possibly even had him committed to go there.
Now, is there a previous relationship there, and is it good or bad, I have no idea, but I definitely trust in Musselman and staff to go after the next best available center or forward.
We shall see!
Run over puppies in your spare time and slap your wife. I really don’t care as long as you win big here.
Cousins, Davis, T.Jones, Towns, Bam = YES
PJ, Skal, D.Johnson, Knox = MAYBE
Gabriel, Whitney, Boston, SKJ, Montgomery, Orton = NO
So it depends on the 5*!
No he won’t average those, but bet he goes at least 15 & 7.
I do not like our roster over anybody as long as we have can't coach cal in charge.
Jeez… you may want to find a secondary team to pull for since it may be a while before he leaves. I still believe this will be his last year just based on his recruiting the 24 class with not even a nibble yet.
Big pickup for Bama, who badly needed quality depth in the front court. I still don’t think they’ll have the same ceiling as last year because Miller and Bediako were difference makers on offense and defense respectively that I don’t really see on the current roster. They’ve done a good job snagging portal players though, and now have an experienced rotation of players who fit their system well on paper. They should still be a tough out.
Still can’t believe Coach K , Wright, and Williams retired and Cal decided to sit in the corner and let all these other schools take his lunch money….
In what world are Whitney and Boston 5s? They’ve never been listed as 5s, even as their secondary position, and they’ve never played the 5 at any high level of organized play. They certainly weren’t recruited here to play the 5 since they never did while here.
I also would have put Skal in the “no” category.
No joke. Lost a lot of respect for Oats last year.
Yeah what's a side of callous comments with murder amongst friends?
Bama choked out with the best team they've ever courted and I couldn't have been happier. Screw 'em
I never said they are C/5. I said (and was responding to) them being 5* five star recruits. So yes they were!
I admit was being generous to Skal, because Cal tried to force square peg into round hole with him.

Ok, fair play. My bad, I thought you were talking about the center position specifically.
Sounds like a lot of your grapes. I hope this guy doesn't dominate us. I thought he would have been great here.
Lot of guys going elsewhere and we play them so we will see. Bama, Kansas and Dook to name a few.

I agree. They lost Miller, Clowney, and Bediako, plus Gurley, Burnett, and Bradley. To replace them, they picked up Estrada from Hofstra, Nelson from N. Dakota St, and Wrightsell from Cal St Fullerton. They'll rely on holdovers Quinerly and Sears in the backcourt with Rylan Griffen being the high-upside guy imo.
They may beat us just due to shear experience, 5 seniors or covid seniors plus Griffen the sophomore are their main rotation, but we look way more talented and have a much higher ceiling (assuming we get up to the 10 or so players on the roster to compete depth-wise)
Nelson, at least, puts them in the safely in the tournament as a 7-9 seed. I have them 5th in the SEC, next to Auburn. UT, A&M, Ark, A&M, UK, Bama, Auburn, MSU, & UF/Ole Miss/Mizz as the 3 wild cards.
he may struggle guarding but I promise you this kid can score. he is not just a shooter.
