Naas Cunningham has Rylan Griffen level of potential. Its just going to be a matter of if it all comes together or not in these next 6 months of practice.

Your volume was much better thanks

That’s why I said I wish mark sears would’ve stayed in the draft. I feel the minutes he’s going to be getting could cost us the development of our younger players with higher upside. RTR

What makes us so Dangerous is Our Depth and How Many Different Lineup Combinations we can throw at you and with the Depth we can play full speed at all Times and even do complete unit changes occasionally. Before getting to my Lineup Combo Predictions I want to go over the Last 3 on the Beach I don't have in any of my Lineups. 11-Diabotte- Great Young Player who brings the Juice and Without this Guy we may not even make it to the Sweet 16 and for darn sure not to Final 4 12-Flip a Coin Here. I'll go Cunningham- A lot of People Don't Realize Cunningham was the #1 Prospect, let say that again #1 Prospect in this Recruiting Class just 3 years ago as Freshman (2021) and 2 years ago as Sophomore (2022). Yes he dropped a Good Bit But I still believe he has All the Talent in the World and the Ability to Be a Top 10 Player with Hard Work and Great Coaching and He should Get at Alabama if he Wants It Bad Enough. Big Smooth 6'7 Wing, He is Similar to and Reminds me a lot of Brandon Miller and after a year or 2 I think he will be close to that comp. Philon- Another Great Young Prospect. I think Cunningham has a Higher Ceiling but Philon has a High Floor or maybe it's better said that Cunningham has A Lower Floor and Higher Ceiling. I think Philon will be a solid 3 to 4 year player for us and be a Late 1st/2nd Round pick down the Road. So if that's Bamas 11, 12 & 13 Plus the Top 10 Players in my Lineups Below, All I can Say is Watch Out, Natty Natty Natty Here We Come!!! 1st SEC Game: Cliff Nelson Youngblood Wrightsell Sears 1st SEC Game: Cliff Nelson Reid Youngblood Sears Big Lineup: Cliff Nelson Stevenson Reid Sears 3pt Shooting/Trailing Big Lineup Trailing 15 or More w/ 13-14mins Left Or Trailing 10 or More w/ 8-9 mins Left Nelson Stevenson Mallette/Youngblood Wrightsell/Youngblood Sears 2nd Unit that could relieve 1st Unit as whole to Keep 1st Fresh for Last 8 or so Minutes: Sherrill Stevenson Mallette Wrightsell or Youngblood (whoever is not with the 1st Unit) Holloway Against Smaller Guard Heavy Style Team without a Dominant Defender in the Paint or A Team with smaller Bigs than Normal not Known as Great Defenders down Low:.. Nelson Stevenson Reid Youngblood Sears

Rolltide I wonder would we still get onyenso....over wambu

Embarrassment of riches here. Oats continues to set the bar each class

They say that Reid is the straight up truth. But yeah, I'm not sure if he starts. If he really shows out in the preseason he might. His defensive abilities might not allow the coaching staff to keep him out. Not to mention his scoring abilities. The good thing is, we'll have scorers on the floor so he wont be counted on like Miller was.

Appreciate the off-season updates to ‘Bama MBB…Nate Oats is a top tier coach, now he has to manage consequences of success. Production note: content volume is really low. Looking forward to summer updates. I don’t think Nelson’s spot as a starter is a lock, and a lot of pressure on Sears to duplicate production, not sure that’s a gimme.

Hey Barnes, maybe I'm the only one but im having a really hard time hearing you. Especially in the last few videos. Is there any way to adjust the mic up slightly? Thanks for the content. RT!

I'm sorry but you are 100% wrong about the competition in OTE, it's actually a much higher caliber of player in OTE compared to anywhere else. The reason he dropped in ranking is because there are many great players in OTE that kind of overshadowed him, oh, and because of people that think like you do. Just look at all of the current and future NBA players coming from OTE - the Thompson twins, Dominick Barlow, Alexandre Sarr, Rob Dillingham, Tyler Smith, Izan Almanza, and the list gets bigger all the time. And OTE is only in their 3rd year! Also look at what just happened in the tournament that just played out in Europe, OTE went there with their young talent, not even their best talent, and with only 1 practice session, went 2-1 against the best young European teams. I'm sick of hearing how OTE doesn't have great competition, it is second only to the NBA and G-League as far as talent goes. If you played OTE teams against the best college teams, I guarantee they would win a majority of those games. Don't sleep on OTE, you will regret it.

It's great to local kids stay home. It's a rarity these days.

Good stuff

Rolltide

Barnes how long have you been doing this on YT? I don't think I've run across your channel. I'll do a sub if you plan on providing regular content. Good luck with your channel. RTR! P.S. is there a way to contact you privately with questions? I had a thought that I wanted to share off the board.

Big Cliff is gonna be a problem. For other teams.

First time listener. I gotta know where you got that neon sign, and you better not say idk or it was a gift

Blitz Bama Blitz

Tuscaloosa loves Nate Oates. He knows this.

First timer here. Enjoy your perspective and content. Roll Tide!

You did a great job sir.

Stefon Castle is a lock down defender, as a 6’6 guard, it’ll Definetly be a tough matchup for a lot of the Alabama players. I’m assuming he’ll be on sears

Hey Owen, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made. I was wondering if I could help you edit your highly engaging videos thumbnails and Video SEO Optimization and Promotion which will help your video to reach to a wider audience and increase your subscribers and viewers.

When a team can lock down your 3 point game late, the only option, however ugly is to drive the ball and at least draw some fouls. Bama did a poor job of this. They simply danced around with the ball chucking up 3's in vain too much over the last minutes of the game. The reason Barnes was sitting anyone with 2 or more fouls was he was assuming Oats would try and draw fouls late if Bama had trouble scoring. Tears did some of this but it wasn't enough and TN was careful not to foul. Why Oates didn't attempt more of this late is a mystery and a mistake. TN than would send in players to commit fouls to prevent runs. Estrella and Mashack were for this purpose, Vescovi as well. All three aren't vital scorers so they an be used in this way.

Bama had home cooking with the refs and did their part to get TN's bigs out of the game early on. Bama is a good offensive team but it can't be a team that lives and dies by the three. Tears is great but he's but one body that drives the ball. Plus, the defense for Bama, isn't good. You can't beat TN without a better defense, they are too good locking down the 3 late. Oates game plan made sense, limit Dalton and you have a better chance of winning. But doubling DK pulled valuable defense away from other TN players. TN can beat you multiple ways. Good effort Baama. Rebounding only matters when there is a massive advantage when you play better D and make your 3's.

Sweep!

Wow refs are the reason Bama basketball loses as well.

Nelson needs to learn to set a legal screen. period. Any referee that calls the game technically correct will call those. It's not a coincidence. This is a common trait for him.

That was a great game!!

Move closer to your mic bro I had to put headphones on and turn volume all the way up to hear you. Saban left Bama and all the sudden Bama fans cant say anything with their chest. cmon now.

Bama played a great game. Both teams had to lock in and it could have gone either way. I expected to lose around 10 minutes remaining in the 2nd half when it was obvious that Bama was executing a great game plan to contain Dalton Knecht. Contained him from taking over the game like he’s done in almost every other game but that opened up other players. Overall TN is the better team and perhaps the better coached team. I expect them to make a pretty deep tournament run because of this. Im glad that Tennessee had this game and it worked out with a win but even with a loss it would have still been beneficial because it would have shown what can be done when Knecht gets shut down offensively.

You are so wrong on the fouls / officiating. TN had 22 fouls while Bama had 24 - but, Bama had 4 intentional fouls in the last 29 seconds of the game.

How bout we got out played and beat by a better team.No excuses!Everbody has injuries

Tennessee makes you work. Those last 8 minutes if you haven’t used your bench well you may be a step slow. With 3’s slightly off is a miss. It could have gone the other way. Close game.

What's the definition of insanity? To keep doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Just stop shooting the 3 point shots. It's very simple!

74 is the most points Alabama has scored on Tennessee since Nate Oates has gotten there

TN fan here. Good game break down. I agree with almost everything you said. I can't agree with the officiating though. As you mentioned, our best player and our two big guys all got in foul trouble quickly. I believe Vescovi did as well. There was some very physical play going on both ends that they let go and some ticky tacky fouls called. Not "bad" officiating, but inconsistent for sure. Good luck against UF.
