    Not saying you are wrong but this is ridiculous. A player that wasn't on the ACC 1st - 3rd teams last year might command $1,000,000? What is this world coming to?

    Kansas also lost the 30th ranked player(number 3 pg) in the 2024 class when he de-committed at the end of April. Nate Oats at Bama grabbed him. Hate to see it.

    We have been hearing about an alpha for many weeks now. Is the alpha already on the team or is there a better player coming? Who on the current roster is the one who will be called upon to get a bucket to win a game? That can create their own shot against elite level competition? This is...

    Very nice! As a Bama/Illini fan I will have no clue what to do but really excited to see them hook up. I think Bama probably comes in preseason number 1 if Mark Sears returns. Oats has killed it with his recruiting class and in the portal.

    I like Domask but I think they need Storr for the scoring. They lose so much with Shannon gone. And I think when you got to March you need more athletes.

    Games Thread - The National Championship

    Purdue looked good in the 1st half but UCONN is just too good. Bama ended up giving UCONN the best game.

    Other than Boswell, what are the other possible point guard options? Seems like a pretty key piece to add for next year.

    I agree that is a ton but on a positive note, Alabama last 57% of their point production last year. Only 3 guys remained from the 2022-2023 team. Lost Brandon Miller, Noah Clowney and Charles Bediako to the draft and had Jaden Bradley transfer to Arizona and Jahvon Quinerly leave for Memphis...

    So what position is Ty in your starting lineup? Do you believe that he can contribute more than 6 points/game next year?
