| MBB/WBB 🏀 2024-25 Pre-season - Tide opens the season Monday night

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)
G Houston Mallette (Senior)
F Nick Pringle (5th year Senior)
F Grant Nelson (5th year Senior)
F Mohamed Wague (Senior)
F Sam Walters (Sophomore)
F Mouhamed Dioubate (Sophomore)
F Jarin Stevenson (Sophomore)
G/F Naas Cunningham (Freshman)
F Derrion Reid (Freshman)
C Aiden Sherrell (Freshman)

It's a tribute to CNO's program that Bama is even included in that list. In years past Bama was not a popular destination for the elite recruits. I am loving what he is doing for this program.

@Brandon Van de Graaff you heard anything about the analytics company that CKD just hired?

Not many details other than it's the same guy/people that Oats uses, and according to him they were introduced by Oats recently and he's going to make a formal pitch to DeBoer in a meeting in July... in terms of how his services would aid the football side (which he basically says he's damn good at). He was interviewed on Ryan Fowler's show one afternoon this week and he tweeted it out so I gave it a listen.

I'm loving this. Especially to the point about how many people have bitch about a analytical/statistical view of football.

Great pick up for a position of need at least on paper. Woudl be great to add depth from the UK portal guy if we have room.

Now, let’s get Sears and Stevenson to announce their return and let’s ROLL!!

We have room for rhe guy from Kentucky too?

Maybe.

The best part of Cliff's commitment is Preston Murphy tweets.

Theoretically yes, but he wants playing time as does Cliff not sure they’d be interested in splitting time.

The funny thing is this staff can point a Herb Jones contract. And say, "nah."

Best thing I see about Cliff is his defensive credentials.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

The tweet below sums it up pretty well… and having Nelson and Omoruyi on the floor at the same time (with Nelson playing his more natural position) should really pay off in a number of ways. And I’ll stick with the prediction from weeks ago that the defensive efficiency numbers will be top 10 again to continue the year by year seesaw trend.
