| 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)

My guess: Wague, Dioubate and Cosby, and Parker Gone.

This is the true list that I knew were gone at the end of the year barring some type of major tournament performance. Dioubate may have played himself into something but I don't think it's happening. Especially with us going after Ballo and some other transfers with our recruiting class.

Trilly on Twitter says Ballo is visiting this weekend. Great news.

Trilly is on point this off-season. I heard they had some people readying a locker for him/jersey so we're putting on the full court Press. Gotta like our chances since he was immediately rumored to us and then took a trip within 1 week.

He has been on point for a while. He's legit.

Tipton is rarely wrong, maybe some bad information here..looks like he's not visiting us at all.

Well that sucks. Never bite on misinformation.

I'm pretty sure he's visiting us this weekend? Does that mean we targetting someone else already

He could still visit us this weekend and just didn't share it with 24/7 sports. Apaprently Tipton didn't break this, it was 247hoops who initially said those were the 3 schools.

AFter digging around, it looks like Bama may have cooled on him. Ballo is looking for NIL deal that's the best.

 

[Bammerboy321]

I think Cliff Omoruyi is visiting.

[Bammerboy321]

Would love him. He is a damn good player.

 

[Justneedme81]

He's visiting this weekend I believe.

 

[Brandon Van de Graaff]

If true, I DO NOT LIKE.

 

[Bammerboy321]

Fucking tampering to a T. He's definitely going to Kansas. They tried to bag him last season and were in his ear all season long.

So sick and tired of this NIL bull shit.

 

[Bammerboy321]

You just gotta love college sports today. It doesn't matter if they come off of a successful season; play for a coach who develops you best for the NBA; the best system for your style. Just as long as you get that NIL.

Never cared for him deep down. He hit some shots and helped win a game or two, but I never cared for him as an all around player. Terrible ball handler and a liability in my mind. I've apoken about it well before the Final Four run, but yeah, this sucks and guys like that lose all credibility with me.

ESPN is reporting it also, so must be something to it. I don’t remember seeing him on folks’ lists, so I’m guessing this one is a surprise.

Could we realistically lose Griffen, Wrightsell, Nelson, Estrada, Wague, Cosby, and Walters?

I’m eager to hear what Sears is going to do.

Walters is more than likely staying I would’ve put Stevenson on the list but he seems to have found his spot
