Rick Pitino Unleashes Secret Weapon: Can St. John’s Shock Alabama This Saturday?

Rick Pitino Unleashes Secret Weapon: Can St. John's Shock Alabama This Saturday?

Alabama head coach Nate Oats wasn’t too active in the transfer portal. Oats opted to build his team the old-fashioned way: Recruiting. The Crimson Tide’s 2025 recruiting class was ranked 10th by 247sports.com. I don’t mean that as a slight to Oats, though. He is one of the best coaches and roster builders in college basketball. 

Oats has taken ‘Bama to the Sweet 16 twice, to the 2024 Final Four, and the 2025 Elite Eight in his seven seasons as head coach. In fact, there’s a world where the Crimson Tide are ranked higher than the Red Storm entering the 2026 NCAA Tournament. Oats is that good.
