Shackelford in the Portal

[Texash]

Am I the only one surprised by Jaden Shackelford being in the transfer portal? I knew he was testing the NBA waters but really thought he would be back (not so much with Primo) this fall. I was hoping to have Jaden and Josh lighting it up one more year.

Wait, so he's not going to the NBA, but is looking to leave Bama???

That's what he said this evening. Well he entered the Xfer portal and kept his name in the NBA pool without hiring an agent.

That surprises me. With how well the team did last year and the momentum they have, I'm surprised he would want to leave.

I wonder if he played well enough to move up to a basketball school ..

Nate is off to a great start ... maybe this year EVERY game will be at capacity and kids will have a better game day experience which may lead to more NIL money. Has to be frustrating as a BB player to be told renovations are coming to only watch FB renovations be completed and BB well we have plans ...

The arena has been delayed again .... amazing football announced 107 million renovation in 2018 and they were completed last year ... BB renovations shared in 2018 .... and still no date to start. Will not be surprised if football has another renovation or add something new prior to Coleman.

I suspect that it has something to do with Davidson and Burnett.

Expect this sort of turnover every year. Kids going pro, players from smaller schools moving up, or taking kids not playing off scholarship to make room for others Roster management is equal to recruiting in importance to success.

Good luck to Shack, good shooter, crafty ball handler.

Last player from the Avery Johnson’s era.

Actually Juwan Gary is the last remaining Avery recruit.

I agree. It has to be a real task for these coaches now from one year to the next having little idea what your roster will look like. I can see more and more turnover amongst the teams(shoot, we are already seeing that), so many more different ones will have a legit shot at the title than in years past. We saw how many blue bloods got left out this year. I can not remember that ever happening before.
