Pappy's Predictions - #9
#9 - South Alabama

This one is a really hard pick. I'll explain why:

WHAT I LIKE:
Three starters return, all of which are pretty good shooters from the arc. Barrington Stevens is a good point guard. And there is some bench returning with experience.

WHAT I DON'T LIKE:
Here is the problem: I am not really sure what it is I don't like about this team, because I don't know why the collapse last year. I picked them first, and they finished next-to-last, and I do not know why. Their first year coach presided over a disaster, but I do not know if it was his fault. If it was, then picking them here is about right until they get the ship righted. Furthermore, they are losing the leading rebounder in Belt history - a double/double machine throughout his career, plus Antoine Allen, a double-figure scorer.

We also lost Michael Ammons,( gave up his senior year) who went overseas to play profession ball, so only two starters returning.

We'll show you. Pick us high we'll finish low. Picking us low this year? Well just maybe we will finish high. :)

Our problem last year was the change in philosophy with the new coach. The team did not buy in at all. You could see our potential at the start of the year but the team did not buy into his system and it reflected in our effort. I wouldn't be surprised to fare better this year with less talent. Coach Graves will have to prove himself over the next two years as he brings in guys to play in his system.

That is sort of what I guessed. When I saw Rubit shooting 3's, I knew something was up. And I think he tried to change one season too soon. He had some pretty good horses; he should have waited a year to change saddles.

effort last year was just terrible from most of the upper-classmen. we deserve a bad pick until Graves can show something worthwhile.
