So Alabama will have Holloway, Wrightsell (he's getting a redshirt and returning right? and Bol and who else? seems like they wont be as deep as they were the last 2 years
Holloway, Wrightsell, Mallette, and Sherrell returning right now. Bol plus Bethea from Miami and Williamson from Bucknell transferring in plus some freshmen who might be good, but don’t project to be elite for now. Unless they clean up on guys who withdraw from the draft last minute, it looks like it could be a bit of a rebuilding year.

Was the best option on the team to run point next year IMO. Bethea from the U may be what we need because I don’t have faith in any of the others to run the point like we need. They can all fill it up from 3 but somebody on this team is going to need to be able to get to the rim.

They were destined for one down year, they had 4 years in a row of pretty elite teams.

Oats isn’t going anywhere for now. But if Hubert bombs next season — and all indications are that he will — I think he takes the UNCheat job.
Would UNC hire off tree? A former Hurley assistant, even? (Or does Oats have a UNC connection I don’t know about?)

No connection that I’m aware of, but after the failures of Doherty and Hubert, I think they’d look outside the family. Who they gonna go to, Wes Miller? Guy has proven nothing.

I’m hoping UNC’s institutional narcissism keeps them tied up in knots for a while.

The portal is still open too. Philon was committed to the Jayhawks at this time last year.
Self has struggled to keep talent he had and getting talent to go with the couple stars he has managed to sign. Luckily for us that’s good!

This guy may be the preseason Player of the Year now. He or Oweh would be my choices.

League is gonna be loaded again this year
We'll see.

Florida takes a massive step back.
Bama loses an All-SEC player, plus their third best player.
Auburn loses SEC player of the year, plus other notables.
Tennessee loses a ton of firepower.

UK upgraded at every position.
