Alabama continues to stand out for 4⭐️ EDGE commit Jamarion Matthews, who put on a show at UA Nashville on Sunday.

"It's a great program and where I felt at home the most."

Latest from Matthews on Alabama, other schools still showing interest, OV details and his thoughts on a strong camp performance:

It would be our luck Stanford would go after Grubb after this coming season. Geez

I’ve heard tales of such things happening, and with certain things that have been said on this board this week is it crazy to think that Reid’s camp might have been excessively cautious with his rehab, especially if a huge payday from UGA is looming?

Sorry far this season has been unbelievable! 8 of the top ten teams are from the SEC! Baseball might be a better national sport than basketball is!
ROLL TIDE ROLL!

“First and foremost, I’d say make the right decision,” Omoruyi said of his advice to players in the portal. “A lot of people go for the money. I wanted to win. That’s why I picked Alabama as my school.

“You can tell most of the guys that went for the money, they didn’t make it. They didn’t go on a run or get to be a part of a great season like I did. So I’m just happy I picked ’Bama.”

Especially to a team like Duke, I have to give our guys props. We now can officially feel like an elite 8 is a disappointment. When just last year, it would have been the second most impressive season in our school’s history. I hope we can keep it going, Roll Tide!

Winning two out of three from a top ten baseball school is Hugh! It’s hard to put into words how hard it is to compete on this level with NO LOTTERY Scholarship Money!
Our coaching staff have assembled a really good baseball team! Hopefully this will continue this year! Hats off to all of our players and coaches!
ROLL TIDE ROLL!

3 in the 8th gives us the 8-6 win over Oklahoma and the Tide now stands at 5-2 in conference play and 24-3 overall.

ROLL TIDE!!!!

This game is playing out a lot like Bama-Duke. State is completely overmatched by the Tigers and every time they got within 6-8 points and had some momentum Barn goes on a quick 4-6 point run. And Michigan State missing everything they put up.

Alabama looking to advance to the Elite Eight for a second consecutive season. Crimson Tide will have to beat one of the hottest teams in America to get there. Should be a fun one with plenty of offense.

Live from Newark. Let's rock.

Win the series against the Dawgs with 14 hits. Neither team is as talented as past years, but I enjoy watching Bama as much as any team over last few years. Reason? They compete regardless of score, then rebound the next game with a positive attitude.

This is the most inconsistent set of officials I have seen this year!

YES WE CAN BEAT DUKE!
You gotta Believe!
ROLL TIDE ROLL!

Let the arms race begin for Alabama basketball. In today's column, I provide Nate Oats and his staff with a to-do list for the next few weeks.

and it was football season. Everything is just as it should be….we were entertained with basketball during the offseason and we can now move onto what really matters….spring football season in T’town. RTR!!

No. 1 seed Duke sends No. 2 seed Alabama packing one game shy of the Final Four. Some takeaways from the game:

— Duke’s efficient shot making sinks Tide
— Tide unable to follow up on hot shooting night
— Blue Devils Length, effort plays end Alabama’s season

What Nate Oats said after Alabama's season-ending loss to Duke in the Elite Eight.

“Duke is as good a team as we've seen all year. We've got some really good teams in the SEC, and they're at that level, and it wasn't meant to be for us tonight.”

It might not have been the storybook ending Sears was hoping for. But the new heights Mark Sears has taken Alabama will define his legacy after an outstanding three-year career.

"To be able to represent the University of Alabama, the state of Alabama, it’s something that I’m very proud of.”

#1 seed Auburn verse #2 seed Michigan State
#1 seed Duke verse #2 seed Alabama
#1 seed Houston verse #2 seed Tennessee
#1 seed Florida verse #3 seed Texas Tech

Seven of top eight seeds to start tourney in final 8

Great win for our Ladies!
Yes we are not the same program that we used to be! But we were one of the top 5 or so softball programs for Decades!
I read all this negativity about Coach Murphy, some of it may be deserved, but look what he has done for softball for BAMA in almost three decades!
Most D1 Programs Women’s Basketball would and should be the most popular and money making women’s program! But NOT at BAMA!
For the past 25 years Gymnastics and Softball have carried the women’s banner!
Why because we had great coaches and coaches who promoted their teams!
Why is Women’s Basketball so far behind?
#1 Our Head Coach! Kristy Curry has NEVER promoted our Basketball program! Not once have I seen or heard beat the bushes like Coach Patterson or Coach Murphy have!
She does not deserve the cachet that our Softball or Gymnastics teams have earned!
Her non SEC schedule is beyond laughable!
If the best we can hope for is a few NCAA tournaments and getting to the second round is acceptable then we are not real BAMA sports supporters!
I had to get this off my chest! You want to put down an All-Time BAMA Coach and not complain about a never was Coach! Fine but I expect more from our Sports Programs especially Basketball!
ROLL TIDE ROLL!
