## Resource

Amari Allen is back for his sophomore season at Alabama, choosing to stay after withdrawing from the NBA draft — and he’s now the undisputed leader of the Crimson Tide. With key teammates like Labaron Philon Jr. heading to the pros, Allen steps into the point forward role, a position coach Nate Oats rarely uses, while also carrying the expectation to lead the team to a national title. Already a playmaking force and rebounding standout despite being underrated coming out of high school, Allen’s growth mirrors the team’s trajectory under Oats, where players consistently elevate their games. With a mix of returning talent, transfers, and freshmen, Alabama’s future looks bright — and Allen is at the helm. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
