Another pure bag chaser unfortunately, writing was on the wall with us signing 3 wings already. Bama better step up their NIL for Oats. We whiffed bad in the transfer portal this season, gotta spend big on a legit center this offseason.
Still got a great class coming in. Need a pg

Yea and that center we brought in early should technically be in this class too. Aden should be back but yea we’ll need another ball handler. Bigs has to be the priority though since that’s why we get our shyt pushed in against the top teams.

Oats will always play 4 guards/wingd and 1 big, while most college teams still play 2 bigs.

Yea that works against most teams but if we want to beat the elite teams then we have to have more than one capable big. It’s tough though since it’s hard to get traditional bigs to play in this system. The staff just totally missed on bigs in the portal this season, that’s the main reason we’re playing so much small ball. Noah is almost unplayable and TBB is just too skinny/doesn’t have the grit. Bristow could be good but can’t stay healthy. Gonna have to do a better job of portal scouting/actually pay up for a top big like we did with Cliff. The freshman center we got is supposed to be a good shot blocker and he’s big af, maybe we have something there.

those early start quarterfinals for the #1 seed are always tricky, Miami(OH) should still get in. A bubble team just lost their spot though.
