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

It doesn't even look like he grabbed neck. It's supposed to be a good hire, but I have mixed reaction to this one. Let's wait and see.

I only know what I've remembered. IE: Billy D. COVID. I remember seeing headlines about him missing some games and Fleming taking over. It caught my attention, not because of his name, but Billy D and all the other BS. (Won all five games as interim head coach of the Bulls.)
Donovan is a good coach. He had Fleming on his staff. That carries some weight with me.

I like he's coached German pro-ball. Physical. I think he's at three and a half decades of coaching now?

I"ll look more when the spring sports are over.

Florida might win back to back

The funny thing is it's hard to sustain that winning level. I see Florida having good season but the path to final 4 is harder than we think .

It will be interesting to see how dominant O. Rioux may be for UF at center at 7'9" w/ a 8' wingspan.

I do not think he will be dominant. The young man is very skinny and does not move well.

It's arguably the toughest in all of collegiate sports. It can be such a crap shoot and all it takes is one team to get but. That said, it's hard to bet against Golden and that roster right now. No one has better in game adjustments than Golden. Said it all last season.

Interested to see how they do without Kevin Horde though.

Looks like Bethea will wear number 1.

I disagree he now weighs 305 lbs with a 8' wingspan he doesn't need to jump he can stay on the floor. He cut down the nets after the NC without using a ladder.

Claude news. I really want us to land him. Long defender with good handles.

Who is the dude. He just pops out of nowhere with that news.

Apparently 6' 6" PG. 4 star out of HS. I'd never heard of him either.

I was not talking about the player. I'm talking about the person who's posting the Intel.

Fitting for both.

@Justneedme81 I glanced at the account yesterday when I saw the post here. Who knows? They come and go. I've seen a few through the years that were kids when they started and are now with some school, some where.

Just seems like a guy posting to get followers. He has no insight.

Hopefully we do get Claude though. That would be a big get.
