| MBB/WBB 🏀 2024-25 Pre-season - Tide rolls over Memphis, 96-88, in 2024 Rocket City Classic

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)

I liked Dioubate. He played hard and he was not afraid of banging inside. I hope he stays.

Smart move to be honest. He’ll likely get some answers that he may or may not like, which will make his decision pretty easy.

Yeah, any other option chosen would have been surprising, even in a collegiate world right now where surprises are lurking everywhere.

Is it drafted or coming back type decision?

Is it drafted or coming back type decision?

Yes, unless he veers off course. He has until the end of May to decide. The portal closes for undergrads at the beginning of May.

Ok. Hang on a second. I don't follow the NBA rules closely so here's a question from a "casual."

Last year the NBA combine invitations were sent out in May. Will Sears get an invitation?

IF I'm not mistaken, if he does receive an invitation it extends his "window" for announcing his intentions.

IE: Mark receives an invitation to the combine. The draft is in June (26th and 27th I believe.) IF he attends the combine and draft it puts his deadline for his final announcement at 5PM, the Monday following the draft.

The first "deadline" is still in May but it is contingent on what the NBA decides.

Did not know that. Thanks for sharing.

Please don't ignore the caveat ...

IF I'm not mistaken,

As soon as I take a break I'll see if I can find the rules: broke my damn garden rake and I'm looking for a cat to kick.

Rylan Griffen on Instagram Live "I want Alabama to win a national championship. I feel like they have a better chance to win one without me than with me"

This has been weird week for him.

So, mock draft season is upon us for NBA. Out of all the mock drafts I have seen only The Ringer has Sears on their top 60-70 i kinda think that he should be higher but the guy from ESPN I forget his name is usually pretty good about these and he didn't have him in the 2 round draft so might mean Sears will be back next year.

White smoke coming from the Mal Moore complex. I understand Bama is getting a commitment tomorrow.

The AU family and fans will be quoting scripture on Judas (if they aren't already.)

Could end up being a great weekend

Yea Cliff Omuryi is also visiting this weekend, I'm hearing we're gonna try to close down on him hard. Wonder if Sears is coming back also...the draft boards haven't been kind to him...could be a hell of a year if it shapes up like that.

They hope it'll get worked out for next weekend. He's visiting Georgetown this weekend.

JQ-esque. Good ball handler and facilitator. Needs to learn how to not turn the ball over.
