Hill confirmed earlier today that he will in fact be visiting Alabama June 1st to visit with the staff and build a stronger relationship with OC Tommy Rees.

Ever since the Tide offered Hill, things have been looking positive for the Crimson Tide with the ‘25 prospect.

With momentum in the class and several other prospects trending towards Alabama, this will be a huge visit in building what should be another highly touted group.

Anyone that can’t see that Sears is our best shot for next year is crazy. He had one bad game in which he turned the ball over as much as a normal game with Q. He was a consistent 16-18 points a game most of the season. Sears is the one I’m holding my breath hoping he returns.

Hit the transfer portal. Barnhart hasn't played since Kennesaw State. Murphy reported on February 28th that she was taking a step away from softball. Lets see if anyone else goes after the season.

We had to tough it out and got it done. Good for the mental game in next round or two. She could have pitched Sunday so i guess she will start Friday with 2 weeks rest. We get to OKC she is still fresh and could possibly carry us to the final series. This is all possible if our offense can show up and put up 4-5 runs per game. That is not something I would bet on but hope I am wrong. RTR

I understand that hard core Alabama basketball fan don’t want to compare basketball with football, but let’s take a look. This year one of the biggest factors of the success of this team was rebounds. Just playing great defense. Everyone is looking for the next transfer based on what they can bring offensively. I’m hoping than Oats brings in coaches and players that are able to contribute to the defensive side of the ball. I still believe that defense wins the championship verse offenses. Does matter which sport.

2025 4* Rivals 150 WR Jamie Ffrench out of Jacksonville Florida tells me he’ll be back in Ttown for a visit on June 7th, this will mark his 3rd trip to a Bama this year. He’s one of Bama’s top early targets in the 25’ class and I’d give Bama an early lead for the Jacksonville standout. I caught up with Ffrench to talk about his interest in the Tide and what he’s looking forward too on his upcoming visit!!! “I’m looking forward to getting that family love I always receive when I’m there, it’s just like when I’m at home in Jacksonville.” He spoke about his relationship with the staff. “I love all the coaches down there every moment I can get with them is priceless, they treat me like a real priority.” Lastly I asked him what stands out about the Tide. “What stands out about Bama is what they have to offer not only as a player but overall as a person, the support and care about not only the players as players but as people, their families, and even the fans. It’s incredible!!!” Alabama looks good early for Ffrench and has made him a priority, it’s looking to payoff early!!!!!

Alex Salter gets the start for Alabama. First pitch is scheduled for noon CT.

Frank Warren and there was A LOT of strong takes relative to progress and projection in here.

Justin Thomas game has gone off the rail lately. He’s now 10 over in the third round of the PGA, which he won last year. Maybe he needs changes in his coaching and maybe a new caddie.

threw in a Crimson Tide prediction for him last week and UA remains in great shape here amid many top programs

and a freak two-way prospect in Mike Matthews, though the trip isn't 100% locked in. Heavy competition here as one would expect. OVs to Clemson, UGA, USC and Tennessee are already set.
