@bamaperspective Feeling like we have a strong team! We can still pick up some players from the portal, fill out the roster a bit, and get ready for whether Amari comes back or not.

[Brock Cubillo @BrockCubillo]

@bamaperspective I agree with that. However, given how NIL is now, you can make a pretty penny while boosting your stock.

Make money by playing and developing to earn more for that rookie contract 😂

[Brock Cubillo @BrockCubillo]

@bamaperspective Let me clarify… he is athletic, but it seemed like his motor was low and his conditioning was off.

I don’t know if there was a nagging injury throughout the year or other circumstances, but, like the front courts you mentioned, it’s an athletic, offensive 1-2 punch.

[Brock Cubillo @BrockCubillo]

@bamaperspective I do not hate or hold bias against Sherrell for his decision, even if I think it was just chasing $$$, but I want my 5 to be an athletic guy. Sort of like the years we had Cliff and Charles, but in my opinion, the best 5 that was on an Oats team was Jordan Bruner!

[Brock Cubillo @BrockCubillo]

@bamaperspective If Oats is building a team for a deep run in the tournament, this will work in our favor because our teams in the past, and yes, even our F4 team, relied on favorable matchups for our style.

But with this year's roster construction, we can match up better against bigger teams.

[Brock Cubillo @BrockCubillo]

@ROLLTIDEbday @HarperNation24 Yes and no. It's a perk to have a big man who can shoot 3PTs at a decent average, but it's not completely necessary! I trust the coaching staff to make the proper adjustments to our style of play without neglecting the system.

[Brock Cubillo @BrockCubillo]

@HarperNation24 @ROLLTIDEbday What cracks me up is that people will complain that we shoot too much and say, "Live by the 3, die by the 3." But when Oats makes changes to his Frontcourt, making it more athletic and less shooting bigs, people say the lack of shooting will kill us. You can't win on here 😂

[Brock Cubillo @BrockCubillo]

@bamaperspective Your first paragraph is correct, but if he doesn’t want to be here because we’re not gonna give him enough money, let him walk.

I’d rather take two or three guys who aren’t as good but are actually hungry and will play like they have something to prove.

[Brock Cubillo @BrockCubillo]

@bamaperspective Moneyball👀 Luckily, we have an analytical mind as the HC.

Also, can we get the judge to give Aden community service (No NIL) and make him play the season without getting paid? 😅

[Brock Cubillo @BrockCubillo]

@bamaperspective I agree with the Top 5 to some extent. Where I differ is that with more spending capital, you can boost your depth and possibly diversify your team by acquiring different types of players to change up rotations and looks.

Personally I want some 4/5s that are athletic and strong.

[Brock Cubillo @BrockCubillo]

@aterry65 @AlabamaMBB @TransferPortal What I feel is coming in the next few days… 😂

[Brock Cubillo @BrockCubillo]

@HarperNation24 I really believe what we were lacking was depth at the position. Sherrell is very good, but we didn’t have a reliable backup to keep it going. I would rather have 2-3 bigs who are athletic and can consistently make an impact rather than just one who can do it really well.

[Brock Cubillo @BrockCubillo]

@OwenDBarnes How I need him to be moving in the portal this year! 😂

[Brock Cubillo @BrockCubillo]

@ctsykes13 It’s crazy… I’m fine with you talking before and during the game. But at some point, you just gotta be a winner and move on 😂

[Brock Cubillo @BrockCubillo]

Proud of this team! Battled with tons of adversity and lost to a better team. Let’s get back right and get ready for next year!

PS. @Greg_Byrne give Coach @nate_oats whatever he wants and extend him! #RollTide

Final.
