  1. He's by no means a lock, and if it weren't for the program blocking him from the Italian team, he probably wouldn't have been on the varsity squad this past time around
  2. Some Zach Lowe thoughts on the Olympics - From this World Cup team, he'd take 2-3; definitely Bridges, probably Edwards, and maybe Halliburton (mentioned possibly Lillard instead) - His priority would be to get Steph, KD, and Tatum on the team. Wants Steph as the offensive hub. Wands KD and Tatum's two-way shooting and defensive length - Wants Jimmy Butler because he wants a hardass on the team - Mentions that taking Draymond would mean leaving someone else off - As under the radar guys, he'd like Desmond Bane and Brook Lopez to get a look. Talked about how JJJ did nothing at all on offense. Would love for Zion to get a look. De'Aaron Fox needs a look if he keeps getting better.
  3. I watched the first few drives of the second half earlier, and his only bad throw as the shoelace one to Evan Stewart where Evan got stopped short. Otherwise he had two incompletions; a batted ball by a DL, and an INT where Smith slipped on his route. He’s good. Not idea if he regresses at some point, or gets better. A&M better hope that he doesn’t regress
  4. Watch the game. He was good. The rest of the team, not so much
  5. Chris Russell Jr- a 5th year senior who's played a lot who I figured would start this year, but he appears to have gotten passed up Martrell Harris- a soph who hasn't played much With York emerging, their depth isn't quite as dire as I'd thought it was in the offseason, by one body at least

  7. Looking forward to next year, their big hopes are (1) the offense taking a step forward headlined by Weigman, Stewart, Thomas, Green, Owens, and potentially like 7 of their top 8 OL (assuming guys like Fatheree and Foster return), (2) hiring a new DC who'll find a way to actually make their ridiculous DL talent impactful, and (3) having an easier schedule Those are the potential tailwinds However, the potential headwinds are a bunch of seniors potentially leaving (some could return for 5th or 6th years, but some of these guys are definitely leaving) McKinnley Jackson Layden Robinson Ainias Smith Fadill Diggs Demani Richardson Josh DeBerry (the transfer from BC) Isaiah Raikes Edgerrin Cooper They're also likely losing Shemar Turner to the draft early, which would mean likely losing three starters on the DL Here are some other underclassmen who will be draft eligible. None of them scream leaving early to me, but losing any of them would be a blow: Tyreek Chappell Bryce Foster Reuben Fatheree Jardin Gilbert Moose Muhammad Albert Regis It wouldn't surprise me if they also lose Jake Johnson if his brother Max transfers somewhere to start (FSU?) This is all before you get to the potential of transfers if the locker room morale gets bad enough, which I'm not pricing in just quite yet
  8. The construction will be interesting. There are a ton of small guards who are seemingly interested (Kyrie, Lillard, Trae, Fox, Garland), but should you take more than one (Steph)? Those guys get targeted and bullied in high level FIBA. It probably makes more sense to roll with only Steph, and then have a bigger point like Halliburton or Jrue backing him up In regards to which three centers you bring, that can't really be answered until you know Embiid and Davis's statuses. Bam should be on the team regardless. Draymond will probably be on the team since Kerr is the coach. If there's a spot open, you then look at JJJ (he's much better as a third center who you don't have to rely on heavy minutes for) or even Chet, who figures to be a great fit for FIBA if he progresses Then you take two shooting/combo guards in Booker and Edwards, and fill in the rest with wings (KD, Lebron, Tatum, Bridges, Butler, PG, etc). You also consider Reaves since he's a ball mover who can shoot A couple of wildcards are Zion, Kawhi, and Mobley
  9. One of the Bama insiders re Key "Legit game time decision what I’m told."
  10. Yesterday the rumor was that Moore is very much good to go, but Key is more of a gametime decision for next week than this week, but I've been watching the games today instead of board snooping
  11. Bama boards seem to think Moore is important for getting their DBs lined up, given the youth and transfer additions. I haven't watched much of him
  12. When LSU visited, they bitched about every little thing, including claiming that the AC wasn't working in the visitors locker room. The bitching got loud enough to where eventually someone in the AD showed a graph proving that the temperature never got above a certain reasonable number (it might have been 68 degrees, but I don't remember exactly) Last year some small time Bama "reporter" tweeted after the game that per sources, the AC was off in the locker room, and their fanbase ran with it and has used it as an excuse for why the game was close. There's a decent chance she just made it up for the follows
  13. It’s a technique cheat code that Lane Johnson and some others use His lining up a full yard behind the center is the bigger issue
  14. Update from a Bama site on Key “Black jersey and brace all week…on a bike nearly all of yesterday…doesn’t necessarily mean he can’t play…but dude hasn’t practiced at all.”
  15. Sark will almost certainty go empty in 11, and keep the defense in nickel. Taking Sanders or a RB off would be pretty surprising
  16. Is he specifically calling for four wide receivers, or to go empty with our normal 11 personnel grouping? Those are obviously two different things Empty is a formation, not a personnel grouping, and yes I'm aware of the potential "well someone like Bijan is functionally a WR" talking point
  17. I haven't listened, but we can still very much spread them out out of 11 personnel
  18. I'll be shocked if we see many "4 WR sets", unless Sanders gets injured, or if Sark is really in his bag and is subbing in a WR for a RB
  19. Bama boards think Arnold is the better matchup for Worthy since he's more athletic than Kool-aid. If Arnold is moved to NB because Moore is replacing Key at safety, then Arnold obviously won't be covering Worthy outside
  20. I guess I'll watch it on the dofu app. Or find someone with a cable login. Do a YouTube tv free trial
  21. If you're in the weeds on the player stuff, Bammer boards seem to think that if NB Malachi Moore can play but S Jaylen Key can't, they'll move Moore to S, move CB Terrion Arnold to NB, and start Louisiana transfer Trey Amos at CB
  22. I think all three Bama DBs who got banged up (Koolaid, Moore, Key) got hurt in special teams when the game was already far out of hand
  23. Oatis for Bama has been playing DE (it's an interior DL position), not nose tackle
