UK freshman PG signed an NIL deal with a Porsche dealership in Louisville. How do the U of L boosters allow that to happen?

I thought one year was standard in athletes with that injury

I think what I was getting at was it may take 1 year for them to get back to level of performance they were at before the injury, but in terms of actually being healed, the timeline is much shorter than you think. If you make it to the 6 month mark without complications (which he might have had), there is virtually a 0% chance you will reinjure the Achilles.

Alabama alumnus Josh Primo made his NBA debut in the San Antonio Spurs’ 123-97 victory over the Orlando Magic on Wednesday night.
Primo joined San Antonio as the 12th player picked in the NBA Draft on July 29, and the 6-foot-6 guard made a late appearance in Spurs’ season-opening game at the AT&T Center in San Antonio.
Primo made the only shot he took for his first NBA points – dropping in a 26-foot 3-pointer with 2:12 to play as the Spurs took a 118-95 lead.

All About the Guards as Alabama Defends its SEC Titles
You can talk about what Alabama lost from one of the best teams in school history, but any discussion about what the reigning dual SEC champions might do for an encore starts with this: Jaden Shackelford came back.
He could've turned pro or transferred. He actually put his name in the NBA Draft hat and the transfer portal before deciding to return for his junior season in Tuscaloosa. How did head coach Nate Oats react to the return of his leading scorer?
"Welcome back with open arms."
Welcome to the notion that one of the best seasons in Alabama history, a 26-7 run that included SEC regular-season and tournament championships and a rush to the Sweet 16, wasn't the pinnacle but a new plateau. Without four of its top six scorers from last season, without SEC player of the year Herbert Jones and No. 12 overall NBA Draft pick Josh Primo and a special senior class, the Crimson Tide is the preseason pick to finish as runner-up this year.
Some of the names on the back of the jerseys have been replaced by a rather large target.
"The expectations are high," Oats said during Alabama's Media Day. "People are going to be shooting for us. We can't afford to have an off night. Our guys have to realize when they walk into a gym now, after winning the SEC last year, people are going to be gunning for us. We're going to have a bigger target on our back, and we're going to have to play that way."
Alabama will return fire with another elite group of perimeter players that starts with Shackelford and Jahvon Quinerly, both of whom were selected preseason first-team All-SEC. They finished 1-2 in scoring for the Tide last season: Shackelford - whom Oats called "one of the more talented offensive players in the country" - at 14 points a game, Quinerly - last year's SEC Tournament MVP - at 12.9.
If that backcourt weren't impressive enough, Alabama added 6-3, 195-pound five-star JD Davison, whom 247 Sports ranked as the No. 9 player and No. 1 point guard in the Class of 2021. Oats has been impressed with Davison through 15 preseason practices.
"He wants to be great," Oats said. "He wants to be coached. He wants you to make him better. He's more talkative than you think, and his basketball IQ is pretty high. Combination of all that with the athletic ability he's got and the skill level he's got, he's going to be really good for us."
He's also going to team with Shackelford and Quinerly in a three-guard set that could wreak havoc on opponent matchups.
"They're going to be on the floor a lot together," Oats said. "We play a lot of guards. If your third-best defender is going to be on either Quinerly, Shackelford or JD, I don't know which one you put your third-best perimeter defender on. That's going to be a major mismatch."
Imagine what may happen to defenses when Oats makes good on his promise to play a four-guard lineup with 6-6 senior Keon Ellis, a key returnee from last season who started the last five games.
"I think you can win in college playing multiple guards," Oats said.
Alabama did it last year. Expect the Tide to make a run at doing it again.

Times and channels for the complete schedule have now been finalized. I’ll get the schedule on page one updated today.

Crimson Corner: J.D. Davison has Arrived
Davison is the Crimson Tide's highest-rated signee since Collin Sexton and is looking to make an impact on the program in his freshman season.

I hate his guts, He’s a troll
He wants to be seen as a witty intellectual, and someone that pushes boundaries. Oats messed up by giving him attention.

Basketball season is almost upon us. Good luck guys. Basketball in the state of Alabama > North Carlina
Get F'd Duke/UNC
Edit: According to KenPom rankings, this will be true if UAB starts strong. Our top 3 is only an avg rank of ~3 less than NC

I’ll post this closer to game time as well, but with single game tickets going on sale in this next week or two, if anyone needs two tickets for either of our first two games, I’ll sell you my pair for a 20% discount on whatever Alabama sells the tickets and online fee for. I’ll be out of town that week (poor planning by me) and won’t be able to go.
