| MBB/WBB 🏀2024-25 Alabama Basketball Roster Updates

We had a similar thread last year, and like it, I will update this one with the movement as it happens and next season's roster takes shape. Obviously, all the players in red that are set to return, won't. And others will be added via the portal. But I'll keep this updated and keep track of it as it all unfolds. As always, let me know of any errors/mistakes.

Also, keep in mind, there are 13 scholarship spots available per season. As of now, Alabama is +2 (15 scholarshipped players), which means at a minimum, 2 of the following will not return.


Current 2024/25 roster outlook as of now:
G Mark Sears (5th year Senior)
G Latrell Wrightsell Jr. (5th year Senior)
G Davin Cosby Jr. (Sophomore)

Holloway isn't completely polished yet as a guard, but damn you have to he excited. Oats knows how to develop his guards and Holloway has a tremendous amount of talent.

He’s “one of the best guards in the country”?

Will be this time next year.

The change of scenery and the change of system should benefit Holloway a ton! Oats allows more uptempo and to an extent “free-lancing”. The Barn offense was more of a robotic motion and get it to Broome as often as possible.

“At Auburn, I kind of got sold a dream by my coach. The season started out good for me individually and as a team, and then he kind of went in a different direction (with) the offense.”

I was just kind of taken out of the offense as a playmaker, and, like, a decision-maker. I was just on the court when it came to offense. It was just tough for me."
"With Nate Oats, there isn't any of that," he explained. "That's the biggest thing I have learned this past year. With Nate Oats and the Alabama team, it's just basketball. If you're open, shoot.

"It's back to basketball and having fun," Holloway added. “I just want to get back to having fun and being myself."

Potentially

This kid will be one of the best and There's no question about it. If you look at his stats throughout the season, you can easily pin point his issue and it's related to Bromme and how the offense is set up. It's hard to play free when you have to do checkpoint 1, 2, 3 before taking a shot. So he should drastically improved his number this fall.. I expect him to be averaging around 10 points and 5 assists.. and his 3 point should be in high 30's to low 40s.

Has any of you guys know if Mark Sears may come back to Bama?

 

[Krimson]

Has any of you guys know if Mark Sears may come back to Bama?

No insider but from what I've read sounds like he's coming back for the guaranteed nil money if he doesn't get guaranteed NBA money

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

Has any of you guys know if Mark Sears may come back to Bama?

Chances are pretty good that he returns.

 

[rick4bama]

Chances are pretty good that he returns.

Just think, with Mallatte and Sears playing together those 3 will be falling both in the 40%!

nightmare for those who defend Oat's offense. Bet the team will average over 13 3's a game. This past season? 11. The one before? 10.
