Shack is…. BACK
- Thread starter Jordan Harper
- Start date
Excited to have him back but I sure would like to know what’s been going on and how we even got to this point. To me, I think his ppg can only go up with both Q and JD driving and dishing. He should have a ton of open looks
Glad to see this . Valuable experience returns to a young team. It gives us another chance to compete at the top of the SEC.
And don't forget how good he is at getting to the rim. Do you help out and stop him or allow Frenchie and Bediako to catch lob after lob after lob???
Made my day! Gonna be great to have Shack on this team! RTR Shack!
Makes too much sense to come back to Bama.
The roster is now full and I think this is potentially the best roster in 15 years.
Welcome back Shack!

Welcome back Shack!
Shacks return is Invaluable to the team. His experience and toughness will be an example for the new ones! Welcome back
@Harper41 has more insight than I do but I would guess something like...
First 5 - Remember Oats can alternate this based on matchups
1 - Quinerly
2- Shack
3- Ellis
4- Gary
5- Gurley
Off the bench (Main 8 in the rotation)
- Davidson (can play the point or off the ball)
- Burnett (Can play 2 or 3...much like Ellis)
- Tchikou - ( when he comes on i think that Gurley can also play the 4)
Wild Cards (These guys roles will vary based on how consistent they are...especially on defense)
- Darius Miles (can play 2, 3, or 4)
- Ambrose (Got better last year and if he can defend and rebound he will play)
- Bediako ( in competition with Ambrose...whoever is most consistent on D will play more)
Darius Miles is the guy for me that can push the team over the top. He is a 6'7" lefty that can be a Herb Jones type of player in the future if he keeps developing. He could come in and play the 4 and give other bigs fits while we have the ball...the key is can he defend the bigs and the point guards like Herb did. I know its not fair to put "Herb Like" expectations on him but if he can just be a similar type play I believe that this team could be SEC Champs again. Offense wise i believe that JQ and Shack will get their points but I think Ellis will end up being a great scorer. Burnett can stroke it and JD can go by anyone. Gurley will be a more athletic, better shooting version than Jordan Bruner and I hear that Juwan Gary had greatly improved his 3 point shot to go along his bulldog mentality! Hopefully Tchikou will be as good as advertised and will also stay healthy!

I honestly can't imagine a scenario where Bediako starts. I really hope frenchy
Did you watch Bedioko with Team Canada? He's no where close to being a starter. Don't sleep on JD not starting, like I said the kid is a generational talent. Now we need to get him up to about 3 million in NIL to get him to stay a couple years....
I am not on the board nearly as much as I once was so if this has been discussed then I apologize for repeating, but I think Bocat may have hit on something here. Is it possible that some of these kids could stay a year or two longer than they normally would have if they are bringing in a 6 or 7 figure income while enjoying being the BMOC and living the college life. I guess time will tell.

You make a good point. This may apply especially to those who may be clocking $$$ at the Capstone, but the chance of making it to the next level is less than slim. Unless you're on the Titanic, why jump ship?
Just my thoughts. I feel like we needed a rim protector and rebounder last year and that is what he is. I am sticking with it for now.
I like
JQ
Shack
Ellis
Gary
Gurley
That will be the starters to start the season imo.
