Two best coaches in Bama basketball that I’ve witness in my years.

[@ARMY-ep6fz]

He has bama rolling. He will bring us a title in the next few years. With the current recruiting in basketball and football, Maybe we can win a title in football and basketball in the same calendar year. With Keelon Russell and the star receivers incoming,the future is looking bright. The stars Nate is recruiting and pulling in the portal is outstanding. It's amazing how fast he's turned bama into a basketball power house. We're a season early last year in my opinion. But this season we will have all the players we need to win a championship. If we can stay injury free, then this could be a championship season.

[@andrewbradley8422]

GREAT time to be a Bama fan! what a time to be alive

[@JP4DOWN]

Oats is a smart guy, he’s gonna win a championship very shortly.
