🏀 🏀 2025-26 Bama Basketball Off-season News and Updates: THURS Press Conference with Nate Oats

Philon isn't playing in the game.

If we add him and Keonte, we've got yet another top 15 roster. I REALLLY hope Philon makes the right decision to come back.

But he might not make the right decision.

Wonder what 2nd round money looks like and are we competitive with that total.

There was a guy that signed with the Knicks last year named Tyler something...he signed a four year deal, three guaranteed, at around 9 million. While Philon may be able to make 2.25 million to stay in school, I don't see Bama giving him that much guaranteed.

I feel like him and Ryan Williams could make a killing together. Ryan Williams is all that is right with NIL in my eyes. He's happy, he's got a podcast and bringing his buddies in on it. He posts all the time on social media. Maybe there are things behind the scenes I'm not seeing, but he's gotta be killing it in that area, and it's also a joy to see a young guy smile while he's doing it all and seemingly enjoying the ride.

I think I'm most stoked for Bethea and Bowen.

Jeremy... Leave this one alone. It's not worth it. The jokes are there but leave it be Jeremy.

Speaking of him..... Notice he didn't sign with us. He hasn't announced or anything like that.

Been really quiet but I would still be optimistic that we sign him.

So he's close to hiring a coach by end of the week.

He's not committed to getting PG player on roster as guys on roster can rotate duties. The way he saying is.. if they don't get the players they wanted, they're okay with going 11 but he rather have 12.

Sounds like he's looking at players who's withdrawing from NBA draft. I still think it'll be a PG or SG that can play multiple roles. He's gonna want a tall pg.

Another long guard with great handles and an ability to get to the rim. This would be huge.
