| 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)

Sears being cool in front of the kids…

I wonder if they'll be doing the Retreat again this year. Love watching those.

Almost like shooting free throws for Sears especially with no one defending him.

I enjoy seeing the leaps that reclassified players like him make from year 1 to year 2.

A rarity these days, but I was stoked when he said he was returning. I would have bet anything he would have transferred.

The roster we have is truly special. A good mix of talent, length, athleticism, and experience.

I wonder who we're going to add.

Jasper Johnson is committing soon, but no one knows where. One thing is for certain - don't trust UK insiders. They're more delusional than auburn's.

That didn't take long. Good. Put that dude on lock-down and let him continue to land us top talent!!!

I need to get over and watch this game.... Excited to see them come to Huntsville.

No choice.

He was getting offered more than twice the amount of money by some big name schools; Michigan, USC among them...

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

DPP Eron Hodges won't be far behind...

 

[BamaFisher]

Note that it just got agreed to. $825k per year for 3 years.

[BamaFan334]

Get him a plane to get off of.

I would like to know specifics. I wonder if there are bonus' for landing top talent. 100k bonus for a top 5 class. 250k for a no. 1 class.

What will be cool is if there is something like a 500k bonus if 50% of the class stays for 3 years, etc.

I think landing talent is no longer the issue. The shift of retaining it will be key for teams moving forward.
