Last Call | Alabama’s NIL Problem, Nate Oats’ Recruiting Win & Moon Landing Debate?!

from The Next Round · host DBL Down Media

Alabama athletics is at the center of a massive debate in this episode, from Nate Oats stacking Alabama Basketball with size and shooting to serious concerns about Alabama Football’s physicality, recruiting, and ability to run the ball. We break down why Alabama Basketball fans should be excited about Oats’ latest recruiting class, including multiple big men over 6'10" and a proven 40% three-point shooter from Boise State. On the football side, the conversation turns to whether Alabama is falling behind in the NIL era, with concerns that programs like Ohio State, Texas, and Miami are spending at a level the Crimson Tide may not be matching. With revenue sharing changing the sport and football rosters projected to cost $35–40 million, what does that mean for Alabama moving forward? We also discuss Pete Golding’s move to Ole Miss and why his aggressive, all-in coaching mentality may be getting a different level of appreciation now than it did in Tuscaloosa. Plus, transfer portal and quarterback updates, including Ashton Daniels at Florida State and Jackson Arnold’s move to UNLV. And yes, the conversation takes a wild turn into UFOs, missing scientists, FBI investigations, Bob Lazar on Joe Rogan, and a heated debate over the 1969 moon landing. If you follow Alabama Football, Alabama Basketball, SEC recruiting, NIL, transfer portal news, and college athletics, this is one you do not want to miss. #AlabamaFootball #AlabamaBasketball #NateOats #RollTide #CollegeFootball #TransferPortal #NIL #SEC #AlabamaFootball, #AlabamaBasketball, #NateOats, #RollTide, #AlabamaRecruiting, #NIL, #TransferPortal, #CollegeFootball, #CollegeBasketball, #SEC, #PeteGolding, #UFODebate, #MoonLanding, #JoeRogan, #BobLazar Learn more about your ad choices.
