In the NCAA Tournament, the Tide were without Holloway and had just Philon. It could be the opposite after the offseason, with Philon, a projected first-round NBA Draft pick, facing a big decision. Assuming Holloway’s legal issues get cleared up, he should be able to play for them next year as a potential lead guard.
Many of the other rotation pieces are leaving, including Sherrell, who is set to enter the portal. Allen, coming off a strong freshman campaign, will be back as a breakout candidate. They should be strong on the wings and on the perimeter again, but the frontcourt remains a big key, needing a much stronger offseason recruiting effort than they had a year ago.
