| 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)
G Rylan Griffin (Junior)
G/F Kris Parker (Redshirt Freshman)
PG Aden Holloway (Sophomore)

Guess the Griffen news comes at a perfect times with the Chris Youngblood news. I just hate losing a player that has been here for two seasons.

I believe it's called hedging your bets. They had an inkling as did some that he may leave because he was so ready to leave last season but honestly I had heard nothing but good things. I wonder if in his head he's just like Proctor and missing home, he may honestly come to regret his decision in the end.

If he was missing home, he would go to SMU or Texas Christian. Probably wanting some more money IMO.

Hate to lose Griffen, but that is the state of the game today. CNO plays it pretty well.

Cosby officially in the portal.

[Bama Guy]

One position conspicuously missing.

This could be an indication that MS plans to return. JQ did the same thing last year. I’m thinking some of these guys are not happy playing second fiddle when it comes to the media and publicity.

 

[bamafan9201]

Still a few names I could see going on that list and definitely targeting at least 1 center in the portal

 

[Justneedme81]

So I think Wague and Pringle might be next. IF that gives us 10 spots filled, So we can fill 3... 2 Guard and 1 Bigs.

I think Omuryi is the one we get at Center. Pretty sure we've locked up Youngblood at this point. Then it's a guess as the next two options. We could be getting the recruit who honestly would be a long-term win. Or we could continue into the portal to find more help.

Unfortunately this is the state of the game I trust CNO to manage it. One thing for sure Wague needs to go need that roster spot.

Griffen had really grown his sophmore year on both ends. Could have used his experience next year. Hate NIL and kids commitment level.

He's committed to getting better. He can't work on the part of his game he'd like to in Tuscaloosa.

Ball handling?

 

[Bammerboy321]

Great replacement for Griffen.
