📝 🏀 Former ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ PG, Nimari Burnett, transferring to Alabama

[TerryP]

He'll be announcing around lunch time today. He's choosing between Illinois, USC, Vanderbilt, Oregon, Alabama, LSU, and Auburn.

This would be another HUGE get for Oats and the Tide adding another 5to the roster

I may be wrong, but any possible addition would mean that a transfer would be imminent, correct @TerryP ?

By my count there looks to be some culling.

The staff has been talking to other prospects that would fit in this class so it appears to be immanent.

Unless I'm mistaken, for every guy added at this point forward, one has to go. Conventional wisdom is that Rojas may be the (one of the anyway) odd guy(s) out.

I've seen that speculated but not from anyone with intimate knowledge of what's going on. It makes sense although he did have his moments this season.

Did Rojas play in the UCLA game? I'm pretty sure he was dressed, but I don't remember seeing him on the court.

He didn't. Only played 2 mins against Maryland. There was some speculation that he wasn't 100% but not sure.

I do know Oats loves his effort and energy. He brought some toughness to the team where it was lacking a bit.

Do we really need another guard? Just wondering out loud.

Color me super impressed. I knew this form of offense was attractive and thought we would do good in recruiting . I didn’t think BAMA could win at a high level consistently with just 3’s and lay ups . No back to the basket or mid range jumpers plays . I was concerned , and kept waiting on teams to catch up to our style of play. But mostly they didn’t.

I know we lost in the tourney but with the way Coach Oates demands defense and heck , if we could have hit at a higher percentage at layups and free throws . I don’t think we would have lost to UCLA and would have looked a heck of a lot better in other games . Regular season and in the tourney..

I am sold ... Actually buckled up .

Rosas didn’t see the court in that game but he still had a couple of fouls

I wish he’d picked us last year. He left Tech half way through the season but I can’t remember why. Was a stud in HS.

 

[OldPlayer]

Is he immediately eligible?

 

[JoseyWalesTheOutlaw]

I am going to allow Nate Oats to handle his roster since he does it better than I

He thought he'd see a lot more action at TTU this past season. He would have until Beard brought in two transfers bumping him down the rotation.

The number of "bigs" in a guard centric offense. There are a couple just shy of 7' that can run but Oats wants even more speed.

If things fall the way some are expecting they'll be adding Gurley, 6'8" F.
