Report I saw said we were 7th in NIL funding.
Which checks out. We finished in the top 8
We don’t really have any idea what the budget is. I’ve heard we have somewhere close to the 10th NiL, but who knows.
We were a dynasty in the era before this one. The best dynasty this sport has ever seen. The fans all remember championships and a lot of them are reluctant to spend in this new era. If it was 2007 and NiL was introduced and you told fans “we can go get Julio Jones and Trent Richardson if we all give $15 a month and we’ll win a championship” everyone would’ve hopped on it.
I have to imagine the coaches feel comfortable enough with who we have in the building to not blow the bank on a few of these guys. We’ll see if they’re right.

I'd guess by how quickly he gets pulled that Oats has given him some exact instruction that he's not doing.
Can’t imagine what that is though. I’m a pretty astute watcher of basketball. There isn’t anything he’s doing that is bad and we’ve got starters and regular rotation guys with some pretty bad habits that aren’t getting pulled.
I feel like I’ve been the most vocal person about it on the board and I’ve stopped beating my head against the wall and accepted that for whatever reason Oats just isn’t going to play him. You’re right that it doesn’t make sense, but I’ve accepted that we won’t ever get a reasonable answer
Oats earlier in the year said he was working his way in and getting “used to blue collar basketball”. Well, when are about 7 of our regular rotation guys going to consistently play blue collar?
The crazy thing is, he plays hard when he’s in. He tries on d, crashes the glass, boxes out.
This really sucks because I think he’d be a great player for us, but we wasted a year of his eligibility and he’s a high profile player. You have to hope other transfers don’t look at this and not want to chance coming in to be 10th off the bench.

Nkemdiche and Jameis are the two players looking back where you completely understand why we didn’t land them. Saban knew both of those kids stood no chance in our program.

We inexplicably have 1 or 2 of these a year where it looks like the wheels have come off and we’re in a ditch.
This one feels a bit different in that we have legit roster issues compared to who we want to play. Oats touched on it and came very close to saying the truth, which is we have effort/defense guys who absolutely cannot score. And we have scorers who can’t rebound well or play defense. Id like if we just fully leaned into our strengths but we’re far enough into the season now that I have my doubts.
Going to enjoy the rest of the year without expectations.

I don’t think there was ever anything officially saying today. Today is just the day he’s going home and starting to decide. Could be today or the next few.

He isn’t going to play Bethea so we can give up on that. There’s been multiple games where he’s said “I’ve gotta try different guys and different line ups” but rolls out some variation the same 8.
For my own sake and because I’m an Oats guy through and through I’ve accepted that it’s not going to happen and I’m at the point now where I wish we’d redshirt him so we do right by him and save a year of eligibility.
It’s the most confused I’ve been by a personnel decision during his tenure.

Man listening to Oats, he almost sounds like he is about to cry. Oats says we need leadership and tonight we didn’t have any. Our lodestar has let us down two games in a row even though he scored some points today. Overall he did not live up to the mark.
Allen is the guy that consistently does all the right things and always plays hard. He’s a freshman. Everyone else’s minutes should be game to game. We gave way too much leash to a few players cost us this game today.
Last year we sat Sears for an entire half for performance issues.

Gotta switch up some kind of juju. Who wants to take over the game threads for a bit? 2026 is not my year.
We could’ve gone 2 for 1 but we’re SPED

TideCPA I normally rock with you but I don’t know what game you’re watching if you think Jemison is playing well today.
Philon is going to play his way out of being drafted 2 years in a row.
