The Crimson Tide’s 2020 recruiting class ranked No. 12 in the nation, and the 2021 class currently sits at No. 17 across the country.

Oats has been welcoming recruits from all around the United States, and even Canada. However, one state has paused winter and spring sports which may make it difficult to recruit.

Michigan may not have a high school basketball season, and Oats has publicly voiced his support for the “Let Them Play” movement.

His statement is not addressed to anyone in particular, but does call for the state of Michigan to let their high school athletes play.

He mentions the potential hit to recruiting the state will inevitably face if the status quo holds. Oats also references his connection to the state by mentioning his history as a high school coach in Michigan.

LOOK: Twitter reacts to Nate Oats’ comments on Coach K

Alabama MBB head coach Nate Oats calls out Duke’s head Coach, Coach K, who claims NCAA should rethink playing the 2020-2021 MBB season.

Alabama men’s basketball head coach Nate Oats is in year No. 2 with the team. Both season’s have been under unique circumstances, with both season being severly impacted by COVID.

On Wednesday, Duke men’s basketball head coach Mike Krzyzewski made comments regaridng the current state of basketball and if it should even be played due to the ongoing pandemic. Duke has since canceled their non-conference schedule for the rest of the 2020-2021 season.

Oats was quick to point out that it’s okay to play, since we are all humans in need of continuing on with out lives, just carefully, so as to not put ourselves and anyone else in danger.

Another, more controversial point made by Oats was that Duke is currently 2-2. A team that is typically the team to beat no having a great start to the season could be why Coach K made those comments.

Twitter was quick to catch on and have either sided with, or against Oats. Here’s what they had to say:

It’s been a day, and no NCAA personnell on campus… that we know of.

And the memes begin.

Calling out other coaches is nothing new for the head coach.

 

Duke fans aren’t going to like this one.
