🏀 Why does, Alabama Men have to rebuild?

[rick4bama]

I was wondering why Bama is ranked so low at #24?

Because of this:

2023-24 Men's Basketball Roster - University of Alabama Athletics

The official 2023-24 Men's Basketball Roster for the University of Alabama Crimson Tide

unknown ceiling of this year's team.

There are so many new faces, lost some major talent and some transferred out. A lot of question marks. Hopefully this team jelly’s and makes a nice run in March.

Had Bediako and Quinerly stayed or if just one had stayed, you would’ve seen our ranking higher. As of right now, too many unknowns.

I admit we definitely have some unknowns this year with all the turnover but UT isn't that much better off and they're 9th? I can understand Arky and A&M though

KenPom has Bama at #10.

This pre-season poll means nothing. Reload may be a better way to look at it.

I think we started 24 last year too.

Someone will have to look it up...pretty sure I'm right that the highest preseason ranking was #14.

ESPN - #20
CBSSPORTS - #20
KenPom - #29 - Best I could find, his official ratings for that seem lost to the wind now. I tried looking through twitter through October and trolling through 24/7 blogs on those but nothing.
EvanMiya - #21

That's all I could really find, some are just lost to the trash bin of history, maybe there's a preseason wikipedia somewhere with it? Or a database of somesort of polls? I couldn't figure any out.

There is a site called College Poll Archive that has those records for softball, basketball, and football.
