As I looked at his list of offers I realized that he had some pretty good offers. Then I realized some of those good schools may have moved on. Hate it for the guy.I spoke to Langston today. He did not want to exit his spot on Bama's roster. I really hated hearing that.
college bball needs to do something about that.I hate seeing these kinds of things. I know it's a great problem to have all these great players wanting to play for you, it definitely beats the opposite that we have all seen. But I don't want this to become a yearly thing where players are asked to leave to make room for someone that is perceived to be better.
Well that’s disappointing. Feel for the kidI spoke to Langston today. He did not want to exit his spot on Bama's roster. I really hated hearing that.
Very unfortunate. Wish him the best.Well that’s disappointing. Feel for the kid
Truly if universities want commitment from players they need to Reciprocate.Well that’s disappointing. Feel for the kid
I like CNO, but if he forced a kid out after he was committed and signed that is total B.S. I respect a coach talking to a player after he's been in your system for a while and explaining to him he's not a good fit. But offering a kid and getting him committed and signed is some bullshit. I lost a lot of respect for Nate Oats and our staff if this is true.I spoke to Langston today. He did not want to exit his spot on Bama's roster. I really hated hearing that.
100 percent correct, I don't care if Michael Jordan wanted to come. After you commit to a kid and get him signed you do not ask him to leave before he gets on campus. Really lost all respect for our coaching staff. I'm the biggest Alabama basketball fan there is, but CNO needs to address this situation. He looks like a total asshole if this is true. Winning isn't everything if your word aight worth shit. Sorry for the language but this really pisses me off😒😒😒For me, if you pursue a kid and he commits and signs, you should not push the kid out even if a better prospect comes along. I want Bama to win and get the best team possible, but not at the expense of forcing out someone you had already signed. Maybe its just me though.
I pretty much feel the same way; it's bush league IMO and has a “win at all cost” feel to it.I like CNO, but if he forced a kid out after he was committed and signed that is total B.S.

What Pearl and Wade are doing needs to stop first.college bball needs to do something about that.
We all heard the same types of comments about Coach Saban, particularly early on. Now, after all the championships, we don't hear that talk so much any more. And I am not saying that I disagree with you either.I like CNO, but if he forced a kid out after he was committed and signed that is total B.S.

I'm not part of the "it's big boy basketball" crowd, but I'm part of the commitment goes both ways crowd. If you want to prevent stuff like this from happening, than get rid of the transfer portal and hold players accountable for commitments to the schools where they sign.I pretty much feel the same way; it's bush league IMO and has a “win at all cost” feel to it.
But get ready to be attacked by the “its big boy basketball“ crowd who will want to justify this in some way.
You do know the transfer portal is a relatively new concept. I know players have been able to transfer before, but it wasn't prevalent.I'm not part of the "it's big boy basketball" crowd, but I'm part of the commitment goes both ways crowd.

The harsh reality is that Division 1 college athletics is big business and not really amateur sports. Just like the business world if an employer finds a better option they'll can you at any point to go with another candidate.
+ 1Not sure anyone on this board really knows “ what happened “ here.
This ^^^Wanting to be paid like professionals and being paid are two different things. Yes, if they were being paid it is much easier to “let them go”. They are not being paid (well, legally
That's why the NIL is passing,Playing players is a monumental mistake. Pandora’s box will open and the corruption will escalate beyond comprehension.
I will repeat- players are not employees of the university. They are STUDENTS .
Entire concept is RIDICULOUS. Flame away.
But money will be “ filtered” through university Boosters as an even greater rate than today for those “ elite”‘prospects. So indirectly it will come from the University.That's why the NIL is passing,
as athletes are NOT employees, the Universities will not be paying them any $$,
as any $$ will be received by the athlete from their NIL usage rights
True. NIL will benefit lesser known Home Town Heroes... where homefolk can pay an athlete as well, not big $$ but they will get some as wellBut money will be “ filtered” through university Boosters as an even greater rate than today for those “ elite”‘prospects. So indirectly it will come from the University.
They are not getting paid, never have, and yet this is an issue that has come up over and over again.If these kids want to be paid like professionals, then they will get treated like professionals.
In the Pros, you can be cut overnight with no explanation. Next morning you find yourself unemployed
