Calhoun announced a commitment date of July 5th with a few schools involved including Clemson, Georgia, Tennessee, Auburn and Alabama.

Following his visit to Alabama things were looking up for Alabama. All the schools have their fair shake at receiving a commitment from Calhoun.

Did the Tide do enough? We will find out soon.

Two commitments set to happen today, with one set to go in the direction of the Crimson Tide.

l'm a long time fan of all Bama sports and l am loving this site. l'm not an old timer when it comes to message boards, however. This is the first site l have ever been on and the only one l have ever been a member of. l joined because my Father(Milso) recommended this site after he heard Kyle was leaving. He wanted me to help get some of his old friends back on here which @Kelly Quinlan was so kind to help out with. l'm not a long time basketball poster, but l have been loving the basketball info and l'm sure things will still be very good.

l can't believe how l have basically gotten hooked on this board and l am sure everything will be good once the boards merge. By the way l keep Pop informed at least a couple times a week and he gets info from several of you guys that call him and his Tide 100.9 radio app. l set up for him.

Lets all keep it going Fellas. Pop is still working on getting PV Rick, Denny, Denny Crane and somebody he called Iggy to come back.

University of Alabama head baseball coach Rob Vaughn officially announced the hiring of Mike Morrison on Saturday morning. Morrison, who spent the last two seasons at Maryland, is the third addition to Vaughn’s Crimson Tide coaching staff, joining associate head coach Jason Jackson and assistant coach Anthony Papio.


“I’m thrilled to welcome Mike Morrison and his family to Alabama,” said Vaughn. “Mo won a national championship at Coastal Carolina and brings a wealth of knowledge to Tuscaloosa from both the pitching and recruiting standpoint. He’s as relentless as it gets, and I couldn’t be more excited to have Mike, his wife, Jordan, and their son, Miles, join the Alabama Baseball Family.”


Serving as both recruiting coordinator and an assistant coach, Morrison will focus primarily on the Crimson Tide’s recruiting efforts while also supporting Vaughn in all aspects of on-field instruction. He arrived in Tuscaloosa after a two-year stint as the pitching coach at Maryland from 2022-23, helping the Terps to a combined 90 wins during that stretch. Prior to his time in College Park, he was the pitching coach at his alma mater, Coastal Carolina, in 2021 and served as the Chanticleers’ director of player development and scouting during the 2020 campaign.


Morrison’s guidance on the mound helped Maryland post a 42-21 record and earn an NCAA Regional bid in 2023. The Terps’ pitching staff was led by Jason Savacool, who paced the Big Ten in wins (9) while ranking second in innings pitched (96.0) and fourth in strikeouts (95). The junior earned second-team All-Big Ten honors and was joined by Nick Dean (third team) and Kyle McCoy (freshman) on the all-conference rosters.


In his first year in College Park, Morrison’s pitching staff contributed in a big way to one of the best seasons in program history with Maryland recording a school-record 48 wins while claiming the Big Ten regular-season title and earning an NCAA Regional host bid. His weekend rotation of Dean, Savacool and Ryan Ramsey excelled, with each of the three pitchers earning postseason honors.


Ramsey, who was selected in the 13th round of the 2022 MLB Draft, was named a second-team All-American and first-team All-Big Ten selection for his standout junior campaign. He finished with 11 wins, the second-most in Maryland single-season history, while limiting opposing hitters to a .193 mark that was the lowest on the ’22 staff. He also tossed a perfect game in that 2022 campaign, one of only 36 in NCAA Division I history and just the 21st nine-inning perfect game in history up to that point.


Additionally in 2022, Savacool garnered All-America recognition from multiple outlets while also being tabbed to the All-Big Ten first team. He finished his sophomore season ranked in the top-five on Maryland’s single-season lists for innings pitched, strikeouts and wins. Dean’s year wrapped up with third-team All-Big Ten honors.


Morrison’s coaching career began at Coastal Carolina, where he was named the Director of Player Development and Scouting in 2020. He took over as pitching coach in 2021 before joining Vaughn’s staff at Maryland.


He played collegiately at CCU from 2013-16 and was a key part of the Chanticleers’ 2016 national championship team. Morrison was selected as a first-team All-American by three separate outlets and named a team captain during his senior season. He finished his collegiate career with an 11-4 record and 15 saves to go with a 2.93 ERA. Morrison was then selected in the 27th round of the 2016 MLB Draft by the Chicago White Sox and spent three seasons in professional baseball.


Morrison graduated in 2016 with a degree in interdisciplinary studies while minoring in communications at Coastal Carolina. He also earned a pair of master’s degrees in business administration and education from Coastal when he returned from pro ball. A native of Boca Raton, Fla., Morrison grew up in Gilbert, S.C. He is married to the former Jordan Lindler and the couple has one son, Miles.

Three-Star athlete Jameer Grimsley is down to three schools including Florida, Michigan and Alabama.

Grimsley is fairly high on Alabama and the potential he would have playing defensive back.

He took his official visit on June 16-17 weekend.

When the boards are combined and some of us post about BB lets put something in the title if nothing but BB
That will let those of us that are not as interested in FB recruiting as some know its BB recruiting or whatever . I know its not a big deal but just a thought. Sometimes it gets confusing what sport we are talking about . After all a 5 Star guard could be either.

This month's concept is a premium dessert destination that is a perfect fit for a summertime franchise of the month!

• Brick and Mortar business
• Owner-Operator or Executive Ownership
• Small team /Easy labor model
• Dessert space – high margin, low shrink
• Great family business!

What concept do you think it is?

Thanks for playing!

visiting together?

l heard this morning that he was upset about the young man from NDSU NIL deal. l believe this is true. Damn l hated to lose JQ. IMO he is our only true PG. Sears and Estrada are both better as 2 Guards.

By the way this makes me bat .500. l said way back when the younger JQ left that l did not expect JQ to play for Bama this year. Looks like that had nothing to do with it, but l was correct. l also said at the time that l expected Bediako to be back. Well at least now l'm not batting.000, but l wish l was.

Big loss IMO.

Alabama football has brought in several new additions this summer. Today, we will be highlighting one of the new cornerback recruits from Louisiana, Trey Amos. Here’s three things to know about the new recruit.

Camp has concluded, and the spring transfer window has slammed shut. While Alabama might still have a few more roster tweaks over the summer, it’s now a bit easier to project how the Crimson Tide will line up in the fall.

With that said, here is my post-spring depth chart based on information from spring camp as well as recent comings and goings in the transfer portal. Today I’ll start off on the offensive side of the ball, where first-year coordinator Tommy Rees should have all the pieces he needs once he can find the right man behind center.

The latest after his Tuscaloosa visit:

Five Names to Watch on the Recruiting Trail

Assuming that there is no more turnover for Tide Basketball, it is safe to assume that we will only have three players back from the SEC Title team. In spite of that fact, Alabama has five incoming Freshmen and at least three portal transfers for next season. We lost three probable starters to the Transfer portal and one to the NBA draft that probably made an ill advised decision to leave. While the three portal transfers, to date, will probably ease the pain, we will definitely not be as good as last year at four positions.

There is probably no question that the Transfer Portal and NIL cost Alabama starters at three positions. I have absolutely no idea how coaches recruit in the future, with NIL and the transfer portal, as when you are recruiting in the summer, you have absolutely no idea what you will need to replace in April. All I can say is get use to the situation, as some University is going to be recruiting the best players on your team every spring. The other Universities will be coming with bags of money and enticements for your best players.

I definitely do not blame the players at the present time. "G" League does not pay as much as Arkansas. If you go after someone else's players with money, you present talent is going to be pissed. If you don't adequately compensate your present talent, you are going to lose the talent. I think it is safe to say that in the future you will have to pay a talented player, at least $100k a year, the first year, or you will never get the player.

Camp has concluded, and the spring transfer window has slammed shut. While Alabama might still have a few more roster tweaks over the summer, it’s now a bit easier to project how the Crimson Tide will line up in the fall. With that said, here is my post-spring depth chart based on information from spring camp as well as recent comings and goings in the transfer portal.

After breaking down the offense Monday, today I’ll take a look at the defensive side of the ball where coordinator Kevin Steele takes over a unit full of rising stars.
