Is it permissible to talk to players who aren’t in the portal

Lol no, but happens all the time.

 

[Yeiser10]

That name has definitely gotten a lot of play, surprised that he’s yet to do anything though if he was going to.

Too much smoke for there not to be something I feel like

I think part of Fulk's problems last year was that he was playing the 5 against people superior to him in body mass and strength. I know one of his hands got beat up and was painful every time he played, and being skinny plus covid while playing the five might have been the combo that derailed him. I think he was beat up and exhausted during the year. If I were him, I would want Barnes to promise me lots of time at the 4 before I would commit to coming back. And it's not like we have a proven starting four that he would be taking minutes from.

You're right that he wouldn't be a good match with a four that is very quick, but he could be very useful against other fours. And I think Fulky surprises people with his quickness, as he does with his leaping.

It's all funny and everything, about the Pal's love affair, but he needs to get his nutritional act together and gain some good weight. I think he would surprise everyone if he would give his all, off the court, like he does on the court.

I could be wrong about all that, but that's the way it looks from my vantage point. He's had some tough breaks physically, but maybe he would be less injury prone if he ate better, and maybe spent a little more time in the weight room.

How many tricep extensions will prevent wisdom teeth from becoming impacted and infected?

I wish I would’ve know that back in the day lol

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Sickening.

More concerned about whether he is getting proper nutrition. It might help mitigate that some. Obviously, I don't know his nutrition profile. I'm just guessing based on very little actual info.

Yeah I don't think Rob considered Gurley a "big." I don't. Just because he's 6-8, I wouldn't necessarily call him a "big." He doesn't really play like one either based on this:

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Sickening.

Nate Oats is going to be a huge problem for the long term. I think you can safely say that Alabama and Kentucky will probably be the class of the SEC moving forward, which is disgusting to even think about. Barnes' is going to have to step it up if he wants to win championships here. Coaching jobs like the last two seasons aren't going to get it done.

Identically sized and plays a lot like Herb Jones at Bama.

Calipari doesn’t scare me.

However, Nate Oats is the biggest threat to Barnes.

Oats needs to take a better job than Bama. They could give two sh*ts about basketball unless he likes being second fiddle to Saban.

He looks like a Bama 4/5 which means he’s probably heading there lol

Agree

[AngryButchJones]

Yeah, I think Gurley is for sure heading to Bama. Which sucks, because I really like his game.

 

[cwbytruckers]

With a good PG Bama doesnt scare me.

 

[JRVOL11]

Bama about to run the SEC in football and basketball now lmao.

Nate Oats won’t be at Bama long term.

They’ll be back in the cellar once he leaves.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Why would he leave? They’ll match any offer. So he wont be leaving money wise.

 

[InVOLuntary]

I guarandamteeyou that Bama is paying with the big boys both with the players and what they're willing to pay a coach. They've got a system in football and it translates to basketball. They can and will spend whatever it takes to get a player.

 

[coskramer]

Cause their fans don’t give a 💩 about 🏀

 

[Catbone]

Rob again confirming during volquest podcast that Kessler is only big man "currently" in portal that we are actively going after.

Stupidity

 

[VolFreakJosh]

Unless he wants to play second fiddle to Saban, he has every reason to leave.

Bama fans don’t give a sh*t about basketball.

There’s plenty of other basketball schools with more tradition that’ll give him an offer one day.

 

[Dallasbowlin]

Idk, once you have that taste of how fun it is it’s hard to just forget about it. Not sure if it’s up to the fans.

The whole state of Alabama is a cess pool of inbreds and trailer parks. No one wants to live there certainly not Nate Oates.

AD White hired him once. Could he hire him twice?

“Danny’s a great AD to work for," Oats said. "He gave me my start at Buffalo. He’s a very competitive, confident athletic director who at a young age took a gamble on a guy like me. Once I was there, he made sure his coaches have what they need to win. That’s from his background but he gets it. He’s ultra-competitive but he knows what it takes.”
