Oats/ Alabama did everything they could, and for a long time to land him. He just chose Arizona. It happens; it is not ideal, but Bama has a top 5 class and will keep grinding to finish it plus the portal work upcoming.

Losing holt really sucks but being subjected to 45 minutes of first take was the real kick in the nuts here

You know we’re gonna have a lot of giddy fans now. Won’t be able to contain themselves with “I told you so”

I’m just glad they recruited the position well so this wasn’t an all or nothing thing.

Two years in a row we’ve been big boy’d on live TV. Surely Bama’s Basketball NIL has nothing to do with this pain….🫠🫠

Top 5 kids don’t really go to schools outside of the blue bloods. Never fails.

If you haven’t put your trust in Oats at this point like with Saban then idk what you tell you. Dudes a winner, with a system that works and will assemble another roster to compete next year again.

The new Caleb Holt is Massamba Diop, lets take this disappointment and relay it all into landing this other kid before he eventually transfers to UConn.

Losing these big 💰 recruits is starting to get annoying. Selfishly, I want us to start flexing our muscle. At least once.
