🤦🏻disappointed that he is leaving. I don’t get the option of sitting out being a good one.
I agree. But I'm guessing he'll get some sort of waiver. I still don't think the NCAA has any balls to stop these kids from bouncing around from program to program on an annual basis.
There is definitely a correlation here. He completely lost the ability to finish at the basket.
I had high hopes for him but if I'm being honest his blocked layout against SDSU kind of deflated my hopes. You will recall Burnett driving to the basket unimpeded along the baseline at full speed and instead of using his athletic 6-4 1/2 frame to dunk the ball he attempts a layout and gets it blocked. This was a play the helped spur on the SDSU run. Dunk the ball!! At the very least if you miss the dunk it will more than likely be because you were fouled. That's what I appreciate about Pringle. He makes sure (with authority) the ball goes in the hole by dunking it.
Since we'll have a boatload full of guards, my priority would be keeping Pringle.
Doesn't make a lot of sense to me, especially if he has to sit out another year. What am I missing? Is he eligible for a waiver?
I'm still fascinated by the fact Pringle made 50 / 57 shots for a field goal percentage of 88%.
Technically, He should have used a reverse layup there because you have the entire goal and net as a barrier between you and good shot blocking big.
I’ll bet a nickel to a dollar that he will use the shooting to say he doesn’t feel safe at Alabama. He will definitely get a waiver if that’s the case.
I questioned those who all but guaranteed he would be difference maker when he transferred to Alabama. I kept saying there was a reason why he played so few minutes at Texas Tech, a few tried to convince me that it was more a “style fit” than it was that he might not have been as great as his recruiting ranking. Don’t get me wrong, I hoped he would be, but I had my doubts.
Before Burnette got hurt, he was a starter and a difference maker. His defense was elite. Let’s don’t bash him on the way out.
Oh I’m not bashing him at all, just didn’t think he was a difference maker and while he’s a solid player I don’t think he will be too difficult to replace. Just my opinion.
When I saw him in practice (I know practice)before he got hurt last year, he was incredible. He didn’t miss but like one or two shots the whole scrimmage. I know scouts were coming to practice to look at him according to Oats at a speech he gave.
