There have been a ton of names come and go in the Arkansas basketball coaching search.

It seems to be close to a done deal with Arkansas likely hiring Coach John Calipari.

If that does happen, get ready for Kentucky to make an all out blitz for Nate Oats.

Will it happen? It’s one of the jobs I can see him leave for, even with the buyout.

Final Poll

As expected, Purdue was ranked number two, but I believe we were the true number two team. We gave UConn a much better game, and UConn would’ve scored a lot more points and had a much bigger lead Had they not went into the slowdown with about 10 minutes left in the game.

every team is going to have 5 or 6 players in the portal.

and I feel like anybody who dislikes NIL to some degree should be supportive of the transfer portal. At least with the portal you are talking about a lot of upperclassmen who have a college resume to help determine their value rather than a 17 yo kid who dominated teams from Walker and Winston county his whole life.

I came to this realization this morning when I went back to the basketball forum and started reading from the very beginning. There are a lot of high school kids we recruited and didn’t sign (and some That Bama did sign) that went on to have little or no success at other schools. Good chance Oats could develop and get something out of these kids but also a big chance that many of them would be busts as well. In some ways I could see the portal having a humbling affect on a lot of high school recruits. “Oh you think you’re good enough for Duke, Bama, UConn, Kansas? Well get in line because the 22 year old kid from UAB has been busting his butt for 4 years and deserves his.”

up with high school recruits pretty well but this portal is too much. i expect preston murphy and nate oats to take advantage of our final 4 run. roll tide

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama held its final open practice of spring camp Tuesday afternoon as the Crimson Tide have completed all but one practice before the annual A-Day game. Reporters were given about 20 minutes to view practice inside the indoor facility.

Here's a few quick notes from practice.

- Linebacker Jihaad Campbell was wearing the black jersey during practice, and was walking around with a noticeable limp. However, his condition appeared to be minor as he continued to stay working on the exercise bike throughout the viewing period.

- The quarterbacks were in the same rotation as usual. Jalen Milroe took the first reps, followed by Ty Simpson, Dylan Lonergan, and Austin Mack.

- The running backs were featured in a lot of passing drills, and were either short routes to the flats or crossing routes over the middle. Justice Haynes led the backs for the first reps, followed by Jam Miller, Richard Young, and Daniel Hill.

- For the receivers, they worked on their release off the line, along with a few footwork drills as well. Jaren Hamilton led the group, followed by Kobe Prentice, Germie Bernard, Kendrick Law, Emmanual Henderson Jr, Cole Adams, Bubba Hampton, and Caleb Odom.
- During the viewing period, they weren't spread out for a first team offense, so there was no specific wideouts vs. slot position differential.

- The tight end rotation was roughly the same as well in their own receiving drills downfield. CJ Dippre led the unit (no longer wearing the black jersey), followed by Josh Cuevas, Robbie Ouzts, Ty Lockwood, and Danny Lewis Jr.

- On the defensive side of the ball, the safeties got a lot of work in one on one coverage against receivers, and a little bit of work on the blitz as well. In the drills, Malachi Moore led the unit, followed by Bray Hubbard, Dre Kirkpatrick Jr, Keon Sabb, and Peyton Woodyard

- When the defense lined up in what appeared to be a first team unit, without defensive lineman, it lined up as follows:

CB: Devonta Smith
CB: Domani Jackson
S: Zabien Brown (rotated with Mbakwe)
S: Keon Sabb
STAR: Malachi Moore
OLB: Justin Jefferson (Likely in place for Campbell)
MLB: Deontae Lawson
OLB: Quandarrius Robinson

- During secondary specific coverage drills, one safety and one corner went at a time.
Malachi Moore and Keon Sabb were the first group and Bray Hubbard and Peyton Woodyard were the second.

- For the inside linebackers, Deontae Lawson and Jeremiah Alexander led the crew that was working on the pass rush.

- I was also not able to see Parker Brailsford present at practice either. Still unsure about his return

I hate Auburn and Kentucky. I will never pick Auburn or Kentucky again. They were the blemish on my brackets. I got most of the elite Eight. Got the Final Four, Two and winner.

If Auburn and Kentucky had made the Sweet Sixteen with Kentucky in the Elite Eight Elite Eight, we would have had a big party at A Day.

Mark Sears made all tourney team and Grant Nelson made honorable mention.

Are they the first players Bama has ever had to make All Tournament team?

I think to be eligible your team has to make at least Elite eight.

Bama played UConn better .

roddy gale out of high school and now we are after him again.

The Tide made a big move with four-star OT Andrew Babalola after a strong first visit.

Seems like a no-brainer.

Shout-out to @pwestbro61, everyone's favorite no-brainer.
