Nate Oats made it clear Alabama doesn’t want to schedule “cupcakes” and “wins” in the non-conference.
“I think when you play tough teams, you learn the strengths and weaknesses of your team a lot quicker.”

with my mom, and for years I’ve told her that I’d take her to see it live some day.
Tonight I told her what I started planning when I was 15. Over the past decade, I saved enough to take her to the 150th next year.
Happy birthday, mom.
Notes from Alabama Practice:
• 15 second shot clock during scrimmage.
• Herb Jones hesitant but efficient from 3.

• Jahvon Quinerly (
@RealJahvonQ

More from Oats:
No set lineup for the regular season as they look to work Beetle Bolden, Jaden Shackelford and (hopefully) Jahvon Quinerly into the rotation.

I cried my way through this entire piece.
@fluffopotamus88
and I joked all the time about me writing a story about his life, all I wish is that he could read it.
Former Alabama forward Herb Jones on Bryan Hodgson, via release:
"Jonesboro is going to love the energy and intensity he brings. Coach B breeds confidence in his players, and puts them in position to be successful. I can't wait to follow his success at A-State."

“Coach Oats was the first out of everybody, he never even sent an assistant my way,” said Bruner.
He added that he was impressed with the knowledge Oats already had about his game.

From Keon Ellis’s former coach:
“He has worked extremely hard to get to Alabama and has improved in all aspect of his game. I have confidence that he will be ready play at the High Major level.”
