Last night with the last play of the game, Houston was about to take a three-point shot, and Clayton jumped up to block it, why didn’t the Houston guy jump into Clayton since he had him in the air therefore draw the foul and getting three foul shots?

Will be interesting to see how he fits into Mark Pope's system

TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama kicked off its final week of camp Tuesday, as it took part in its 12th of 15 spring workouts. Players were dressed out in full pads while they worked under sunny 53-degree weather.

The media was allowed to view roughly 15 minutes of practice. Here are a few notes from the viewing period.

— Like always, it’s hard to judge the quarterback when they aren’t throwing against a defense. Ty Simpson led the unit, followed by Austin Mack and Keelon Russell. All three quarterbacks delivered crisp passes throughout the period. According to a report on Monday, offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb told ESPN that Mack had received 162 first-team reps, while Simpson had received 158 so far this spring.

— Offensive lineman Geno VanDeMark and wide receivers Ryan Williams and Cole Adams were all on stationary bikes during the viewing period. Williams has not practiced in either of Alabama’s two scrimmages this spring. Following Friday’s scrimmage, DeBoer said the sophomore is dealing with “a couple nicks and things like that” and might not do much for the rest of camp.

— Kadyn Proctor was in a black jersey but looked like he was going through a few no-contact drills during the workout. When I was watching, he stood in for a tight end while Alabama did formation drills on the line.

— Just as it was in Friday’s scrimmage, Alabama’s first-team offensive line consisted of Olaus Alinen, Kam Dewberry, Parker Brailsford, Jaeden Roberts and Wilkin Formby from left to right.

— The second unit was made up by Jackson Lloyd, Mal Waldrep Jr., Joseph Ionata, William Sanders and Michael Carroll from left to right

— The third unit included Arkel Anugwom, Micah DeBose, Roq Montgomery, Mac Smith and Graham Roten from left to right.

— Germie Bernard and Isaiah Horton led the two outside receiver groups, while Rico Scott led the slot receivers. Bernard was followed by Jaylen Mbakwe, while Horton was followed by Derek Meadows and Scott was followed by Lotzeir Brooks. Jalen Hale and Bubba Hampton were not spotted during the viewing period.

— Jay Lindsey is Alabama’s only healthy tight end at the moment. He was followed in practice by walk-ons Peter Knudson and Jayden Hobson.

— Jam Miller led the running backs followed by Richard Young, Daniel Hill, Dre Washington, Kevin Riley and AK Dear.

— Alabama worked out of its nickel secondary toward the end of the period. With injured starters Domani Jackson and Keon Sabb still out, the unit lined up like this:

LCB: Dijon Lee Jr.
RCB: Zabien Brown
HUSKY: DaShawn Jones
S: Zavier Mincey
S: Bray Hubbard

— Here's how it looked when Alabama's defensive linemen worked in pairs during hand-fighting drills

Tim Keenan III — James Smith
Jordan Renaud — LT Overton
Jeremiah Beamon — Isaia Faga
Steve Bolo Mboumoua — Keon Keeley
Kelby Collins — Edric Hill

— Smith and Fatutoa Henry were both wearing black jerseys. Henry did not go through hand-fighting drills.

— Nikhai Hill-Green were the first two up during linebacker drills. They were followed by Cayden Jones and Abduall Sanders and then Duke Johnson and Luke Metz.

— When I watched the nickel drills, Reese and Jones were the first two middle linebackers used.

This is way too physical for basketball imo. Jay Bilas freedom of movement argument will be heard after this….

I am all for replay review; however, does every out of bounds call or basket have to be reviewed. Officials make mistakes every other call,but we are stopping the game every 20 seconds in the last two minutes of the game, for three minutes at a stretch to review, even the most obvious, out of bounds call. The official review has gone to the extreme.

If the official blew the call in the last two minutes, what is the difference between a blown call at the 9:59 mark of the game and a blown call at the 1:42 mark, of the game? I would submit nothing is different. The replay review needs to be changed. I would submit, do away with the referee review, add one timeout for the coaches, and give the coach two reviews a game. If the review is favorable the coach keeps the timeout and if unfavorable he losses a timeout. Fouls can even be reviewed, just like the NBA. Presently a goal tending, presently is reviewed at the next timeout and if overruled the team losses the two points even if they got the rebound. Presently, if a goal tending is called and the offensive team gets the rebound, if the goal tending is overturned, it is alternating possession is called, regardless of what happened.

An official making a goal tending call can effectively, accidentally change the course of the game, with a goal tending call. In the first Florida game at Tuscaloosa, two goal tending calls against Florida were overturned, at stoppages of play and Alabama had points taken off the board. Each time Alabama got the rebound, which is effectively a possible 8 or 10 point shift in the game.

That game effectively denied Alabama a number one seed. All it takes is for a coach to hold up his hand and rotate the finger and their is an immediate.

As Alabama’s spring camp rolls into its final week, first-year offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb says there isn’t any separation between his quarterbacks. Grubb was quoted in an ESPN story published Monday, providing insight into Alabama’s quarterback current quarterback competition between Ty Simpson, Austin Mack and Keelon Russell

"I think we've got three really, really good quarterbacks, and I mean that," Grubb told ESPN. "I don't think anybody has separated. They're all playing good, but they're not playing great yet. You're looking for the guy that's going to be consistent, that can show up the same and make the same plays all the time."

Who else is left to make a decision? How many scholarship spots are available to Alabama? All here:

Bama had a fantastic day today and will be advancing to the nationals with their highest score of the season missing by .25 tying in Florida for the meet. Considering this team did not really have a great showing in the SEC this year, they finished strong!

10-0 in fifth or sixth and outhitting them 15-1. Good to see they showed up tonight. Complete ass kicking.
Bama baseball- always comes back to reality hard.

Run ruled 8-0 in 5 innings. So baseball team is mercy ruled 10-0 and softball team gets run in the same night.
Worst performance of the week- the stock market or these 2 pathetic efforts? Ridiculous.

On their surfaces, Julio Jones and Ryan Williams couldn’t be more different.

Jones, 6-foot-3, 220 pounds, is imposing but stoically silent. Williams, 6-foot, 175 pounds, is the embodiment of flash, from his pirouette spins on the field to his podcast and nail polish off of it.

Two players from two eras at two drastically different stages of their careers. Yet, they might be the only ones who truly understand the other's story.

Have not seen him post in quite awhile! Guess his wife has him on house and keyboard restriction.
