Football 🏈 Five questions heading into Alabama's Pro Day

Two weeks removed from the NFL Scouting Combine, Alabama draft hopefuls will have another opportunity to impress scouts Wednesday as the Crimson Tide holds its annual Pro Day inside the Hank Crisp Indoor Facility.

Alabama’s Pro Day is set to begin at 10 a.m. CT. The event will be televised on SEC Network.

Here are five questions to consider heading into the showcase.

Bama Men’s Golf

Team had a great tournament. Currently 42 under with just a few holes to go. 14 shot lead over 2nd place. Virginia, Georgia, and Georgia Tech in the field. Congrats to Jonathan Griz, shot 62 in first round. Leads tourney over JP Cave and Canon Claycomb. Yes, Bama is 1,2, and 3. Players in back part of lineup really stepping up. Good to see with Nick going pro.

Darrell "Duke" Johnson

Edge prospect Darrell "Duke" Johnson will be announcing his commitment decision tomorrow (Wednesday) at about 4:30pm central time. This young man is an excellent athlete who will climb the rankings as more recruiting sites evaluate him deeper. Johnson is rated #43 nationally by Rivals and the #3 OLB prospect. On3 has him ranked #34 nationally and in the 247 Composite, he is ranked #28 nationally.
Duke Johnson will be an outstanding player at the next level. He possesses all the physical tools and instincts to excel at the next level. Fast, quick, gets off blocks, and is a punishing tackler. He is favoring the Tide going into this announcement and sees Bama as his dream school. I believe Johnson rolls with the Tode tomorrow. We made up a tremendous amount of ground on his last visit and he loves our new staff. Enjoy his HUDL video below:

Softball

I’ve expressed my concerns with Coach Murphy and our softball program in the past.
This year I’ve stayed positive but my concerns are back again!
After our joke of a non-conference schedule I had hoped that as the season moved on we’d improve. We haven’t! Yes Florida and Georgia are two of the best softball programs in the SEC but we don’t stack up with them!
We don’t or can’t hit! This has been a problem with our team the last few years! I had my doubts when our new hitting coach was hired but I have not seen anything that he has implemented to help our girls!
Coach Murphy is an All-Time Softball Coach but for one reason or another our program has slipped down! I hoped that Coach Murphy could make corrections and get us back on track! I just don’t know!
I am not on the Fire Coach Murphy bandwagon! But I do think our AD needs to have a serious discussion on how to get back to becoming what we once were!
I’d like to hear from some of our softball supporters on your opinions! Thank You!
ROLL TIDE ROLL!

Hoops 🏀 Bracketology Update

Alabama is pretty solidly on the 4 seed line for the NCAAT. A win on Friday would all lock them in to that seed line.

If they were to lose Friday, they likely stay on the 4 line, but depends on how the other teams around them fair in conference tournaments.

If they were to win the SEC Tournament, there is a chance they end up a 3, but unlikely as the committee members typically have their seed lines solidified before Conference championship day.

So look for Alabama to likely play out west in the 4/13 matchup which would be a lot more favorable than the 5/12

Hoops 🏀 SELECTION SUNDAY! Bracketology Thread

I will be making a Tide illustrated group once the bracket is revealed so be on the lookout for that thread.

In regards to Alabama, it seems they’re pretty locked into a 4 seed and it just depends where they’ll go. More than likely, they’ll play in Spokane or Pittsburgh, with Spokane being the most likely.

Of the potential 13 seeds they’d face, I’d be wanting to play Charleston, McNeese, or VCU. I would not want to face UC Irvine personally.

This will be the 25th NCAA tournament appearance in Alabama’s history (including vacated).

Assuming Alabama is a #4 seed today, this will be the 7th time they’ve ever been a 4 seed or higher.

Would be the 3rd time in Nate Oats’ 5 years.

5 of the previous 6 times Alabama was a 4 seed or better they made the Sweet Sixteen.

The only time they did not was in 2002 when they were a 2 seed and lost to 10 seed Kent State.

All-Saban Era Team - Offense Running Back

Who are the best (2) Running Backs of the Saban Era?

  • Eddie Lacy

  • Jahmyr Gibbs

    Votes: 1 2.2%

Moving forward in the voting for the All-Saban Era team offense, we now vote on the best Running Back in the Saban era. Only (1) running back will make the first team, but I am allowing allow two (2) running backs to be voted on because the big 6'3" 247 pounder may very well dominate the vote if we voted for only one. Opinions should really vary on the 2nd best RB of the Saban era.
