The love that the University of Alabama has shown my Grandson has restored my faith in humanity. And I really mean that. Love 💕 is a force and it's contagious. Forever grateful. J.S. Estrada

Alabama men's basketball 🏀 Please try to keep this team together through the next season. You came so close to the national championship. You played U Conn better than any other team. I fully trust Nate Oats and I want to see this team win 🏆 the national championship. 2024-25.
Can you say triple double. Grandson you're the man in North Philly All my friends stream your games Bama hot on these streets Team work makes the dream work
Gotta go for now family. I'm getting emotional. I think it just hit me that my grandson's college career is over. It was such a special year for this team and all this portal action is overwhelming me.
Hell of a good game Tide. Great defense and good game Grandson. Balance. And Sears you played your ass off. I predicted at the beginning of the season that this team is going to go deep into March. Y'all had me worried for a minute but I knew that this team was the real deal.
BREAKING:
Alabama lands elite transfer big man Cliff Omoruyi from Rutgers, a source tells me.
Omoruyi is an elite player on the defensive end who averaged 10 pts, 8 rebounds, and 2.6 blocks per game last season.
Alabama will be a bonafide preseason top 5 team next season.
Just a reminder for all the people that don't really know about basketball 🏀. Individuals don't go to the Final Four teams do. Every player has a role to play and if not it equals a early exit. Put some respect on their name. Roll Tide Roll.
Where are all you haters that were talking smack last week about Nate Oates; I don't hear you now . Leave Oates alone. I don't wanna hear nothing about this coach . He's only the coach of the most prolific scoring machine in the country. This team is the real deal. 💯 Respect.
Fellow Gumps I just had a thought that I want to share with you. Never kick a man when he's down and never humiliate a man when he's gracious enough to humble himself. He will never view you the same afterwards. I love you guys from the heart. Grandpa Gump.
A great showing on BOTH ends from Aaron Estrada! 😤

I apologize family for the barrage of tweets today but God is talking to my spirit today. And I can't hold back what He's putting on my heart. Believe me I feel the love coming from Tuscaloosa and I appreciate it. God used you'll to pull me out of a deep valley in my life. 💕
Stay another season Sears . Set some more scoring records. Also they need to enact a 4 point line and call it the Mark Sears line. Shoots from the parking lot.( Crazy range)!!!!
Alabama guard Mark Sears will go through the NBA Draft process, but has kept the option open to return to Alabama for his final year of eligibility.
The NBA Draft withdrawal deadline is May 29.
Grandson don't take any offers from any team that does not draft you as a point guard. Whoever drafts him as a point guard will win a title within 3 years. You heard it here first.
Poaching ain't easy. (4) 5 star players on the roster from the transfer portal. Roll Tide Roll
You either roll with us or get rolled over. Choose wisely.
Aaron Estrada filled it up in today’s PIT afternoon tilt.
30 PTS, 5 REB, 5 AST, 1 STL
Really tough to guard with his unpredictable, herky-jerky style of play, probing his way to a ton of paint touches.
Also knocked down 5-of-9 from deep.
Two competitors with fiery tempers. Sometimes it spills over in a bad way, sometimes it elevates a team like you can’t imagine. There was always love between these two.
Alright folks, Bama moves on to the “Elite Eight” for the second time in program history. Alabama 89 North Carolina 87. Can you believe it? Give me your instant reactions to the victory.
Kool-Aid Mckinstry is a Day 1 ready to play CB for the Saints. When you face him don’t think ish is sweet just because his name is Kool-Aid. He will hit you, strip you and lock you downnnnnn. He wants all the smoke and adds value as a punt returner. NOLA got a REAL ONE.
@Saints
BREAKING:
Alabama lands 4⭐️ and
#6
PG in the class of 2024 Labaron Philon. The Mobile, AL native averaged 35 ppg at Baker HS before transferring to Link Academy his senior year.
Philon adds to what is already one of the deepest, most talented rosters in the country.
@18nattyrings
Lol I've been converted into a devout Gump. I always wanted to go to college but I fell into some traps and made some bad decisions when I was younger. But I'm enjoying being a part of this family. I feel like I'm in college. Grateful at 61 brother
@BamaHistory
@AlabamaMBB
I know how you feel. Unbelievable feeling. I'm emotionally all over the place. I'm sad but I'm truly happy also. 😊 I felt like I was part of something big. I'm 61 years old but I felt like a student when I watched this team play It was truly a experience I will never forget.
Nelson only had 5 games from February-FF where he played 30+ min, here they are:
1) UConn: 19p 15r 1 blk
2) UNC: 24p 12r 5blk
3) Ark: 14p 13r 3blk
4) UK: 13p 7r
5) UF: 22p 8r 6blk
Playing the 4 should keep him on the floor a lot more next season.
Grant breakout SZN 2024-25?
@mikerodak
Be proud of yourselves it was a great ride not only for you but me . It was an awesome thing to see you guys bond and support each other. It was a historic season and you guys beat all the odds and people Tide fans that never saw Alabama. The most prolific offensive juggernaut
I've been in the lab; I have a new nickname for Coach Oats. Family I need you to comment. (Y) yeah or (Na) No. If no I will go back to the lab. How about Nate" The Portal Poucher" Oats. Don't judge me. Lol
He's ready! Whoever picks him will have a complete player. He's smart ,hard working, unselfish and most of all coachable. I'm proud to call you Grandson. Show them what you working with. "The Mid-range Assassin'.
@blakebyler45
You gotta believe without a doubt that this team is capable of beating anybody in the country when they play together and play physical defense. 💯 I know my grandson and he just has a championship mentality and that rubs off on the team that surrounds him. We don't concede jack
Always give grace to those who misunderstand you and slander your name because you never know when you're gonna need some grace. How you give it abundantly you will receive it back in that same manner. I'm just feeling like that today. Always winning even when it looks cloudy
Nate Oats is really good at working the portal. Whoever his team is they are excellent. The game has changed since NIL and whoever adjusts to the change is gonna rule college 🏀 basketball. It's making some of the old school coaches retire because the athletes have a little power
Nate Oats building a super team:
Mark Sears ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Labaron Philon ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Aden Holloway ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Derrion Reid ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Aiden Sherrell ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Naas Cunningham ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Jarin Stevenson ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Grant Nelson ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Clifford Omoruyi ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This squad is almost unfair..
@BamaHoopsSZN
Me too I'm gonna be sadder then him when the season is over I wish he could play college basketball 🏀 for another 10 years .I love that energy at Bama. Never seen anything like it.
I don't know why people are so shocked about Nate Oats being a number 1 coach. Since being at Alabama; all he's done is win. It's not a fluke; the Man can coach. Accept it.
Brandie did good, but factoring perceived talent, preseason expectations, and conf schedule difficulty as well:
1. Oats
2. Paris
3. Barnes
4. Golden
5. Pearl
6. Jans
7. Beard
8. Cal
9. Buzz
10. McMahon
11. White
12. Muss
13. Stack
14. Dennis Gates
tiers for separation
Love talking to scouts about our
@AlabamaMBB
players. Been telling anyone who hits me about this guy.
@Aaron4PF_
impacts winning! ELITE level worker. Will raise level on and off the court wherever he ends up.
A lot of us gave up on Pringle, he has came to play every game in this tournament
A lot of us gave up on Grant, he dominated Carolina
A lot of us gave up on Stevenson, he had the game of his career in the biggest game in Bama basketball history
@crimsonburner1
I'm in Philadelphia Pennsylvania but maybe this Summer I might relocate to Alabama. Maybe a change to the South might be a option for me. Thank you Sir
“Alabama’s Mark Sears is a Jalen Brunson clone. As a left-handed, 6-foot-1, 185-pound point guard, Mark Sears looks like Jalen Brunson, moves like Jalen Brunson, and plays like Jalen Brunson.”

@KevinOConnorNBA
I'm sad Nick Pringle was 1of my favorite players. But I still have the same feelings about his future. Have a monster season Kid but not against the Tide
@kingedger76
No I'm far from that but I'm working on myself every day. I just love my grandson. He has represented his family so well and I'm really proud of him. I know I'm getting on his nerves but "oh well" lol 😂
I just thought of a nickname for Sears. What do you'll think about this one Mark " The Range Rover" Sears. What about it. Yes ; No; Maybe or go back to the lab family?
