| 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)

Didn't get to watch it but saw highlights. Seems very active on the glass and a tough finisher around the rim.

Reid's game 2 stats...

We will have a hard time keeping him for a 2nd year!!

We called them Indian runs as well. Big time gut check, sprinting from the back of the line to the front.

That's what Coach Parrish called them, "Indian runs."

And yeah, by the time basketball season rolled around and the coach was calling for sprints? LOL...

Reid looks like a menace on the boards.

Coach Pike explained that as “game shape”! A typical practice included a 30 minute scrimmage “before” practice actually began, followed by 10 minutes of stations ( heavy ropes, light ropes, broomstick jumps, backboard touches, and lane slides), rebounding drills with the bubble, inside and outside drills for offense, inbounds plays, followed by another 20 minute scrimmage, followed by “suicides” or “7’s( full court sprints down and back 7 times under 1 minute 20 seconds)!
We were running one of these practices right before the area tournament started when I questioned his “sanity” and purpose of the running! I was told “it was to get us in shape!” I mentioned something about the Boston Marathon and how we would get blown out because our legs would be dead! I was told to shut up and run. I ran but chirped the entire time! I refused to enter the huddle and was told to go to the coaches office. We did and a face to face argument ensued! He questioned my leadership and I told him that I was the only one willing to stand up for my teammates. We got blown out the next night! I scored 26 points, grabbed 12 boards and blocked 5-6 shots, yet Coach got his payback by having me scratched from the all tournament team. Pissed me off to no end!!

Reid continues to tear it up on the boards. He's definitely still developing as a ball handler, but he's going to get a shit ton of PT if he can dominate the glass.

So, what happens if UCONN lose their coach? Auburn? Do we take a look at their roster?

Luke 2:7. The last sentence of the verse.

because there was no guest room available for them.

IF I heard the radio correctly he's supposed to say something today.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Hurley stays at UConn. Hopefully Oats will get another shot as his ass.

You can say one thing about Oats, he ain't running away from anyone, he's running at them. Not many coaches in the country willing to go after these teams outside of being forced in these conference vs conference tournaments and early season Madison Square Garden venue games where they do it for recruiting.

When a guy is calling out Coach K ...

Strong schedule pays off come tournament time! Love Oats’ scheduling approach!!
