| 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)
G Rylan Griffin (Junior)

KD Johnson transferring from auburn. Couldn't stand that jackass.

He’s a walking shit stain. But I wish he’d stay there, he’s terrible.

Man, I was just about to post this and tag you and say "man, I'd take him just to see your reaction", ha ha!

auburn fans can stop pretending to like him now. So I guess that’s good for them.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Really good player. I hope Oats goes hard after him and we can get him.

To replace...?

To replace...?

Probably all the ones that leave us via portal. Hope not, but that is today's reality.

I want to see "his roster." Who do you "release."

All the people Alabama reached out to.. most are guards ... I haven't seen any bigs they're targeting

This is the rotation Oats tend to use in the game.

To replace...?

I guess whoever leaves.

I'd anticipate that this is who leaves: Kris Parker, Nick Pringle, Aaron Estrada, Jarin Stevenson, and Grant Nelson. Possibly Cosby.

[Bammerboy321]

I hope you're right @Justneedme81

I really don't want Stevenson to leave. Nor Cosby due to their potential. I don't have ridiculous insider information that some of you have, so it's just my guess.

 

[Bammerboy321]

And if all those players return + who we add this offseason, we're going to have a damn good talented squad that is experienced. The exact recipe you need for a Final Four run.

I'm with you. I think Stevenson has a great future. I not as sold on Cosby, but I hope he stays. Nelson needs to stay another year, he has something to prove. I'm guessing Pringle goes, but I hope he stays too.

I only guessed that Nelson would go since he tested the NBA waters last offseason. He hasn't shown us anything this year that he's NBA ready, but guys declare all the time without being ready.

Nelson also hasn’t been healthy pretty much all season either to be honest. I believe he needs to add a little more weight/strength. He got knocked around at times much like Bediako his first year or so.

@Brandon Van de Graaff when I saw the KD news, I immediately thought of 2 things, 1) your disdain for him( I share it to be honest) and 2) who in their right minds wants his sorry ass on their roster?

This made me laugh when I saw it yesterday, but he nailed it…
