Alabama freshman Labaron Philon posted his locker on Instagram. He appears to be wearing No. 0, which Kris Parker wore (or I guess in theory wore). Looks like Grant Nelson is switching from No. 2 to No. 4, which he wore at North Dakota State.

I just spoke to Jacobs who told me that he will actually be taking his visit to Alabama next weekend instead of this weekend. He's taken visits to Auburn and Missouri this week.

Alabama coach Nate Oats gave an update on Mark Sears NBA Draft status at a Yea Alabama event on Tuesday. Sears will workout with the Houston Rockets and the Milwaukee Bucks and get feedback from both teams. His decision won't come until the final day (May 29) because his workout with the Bucks isn't until that day. He will have until 10:59 p.m. CT May 29 to announce one way or another.

“If the feedback’s not a guaranteed contract, I think he’d love to come back here and try to win a national championship," Oats said.

Alabama was a rapid riser on the list of schools for three-star Class of 2025 defensive tackle Charles House. He released a top six schools list on April 13, which didn’t include Alabama. But things changed when the Crimson Tide extended an offer just eight days later on April 21.

Heading into the summer it will be an SEC battle for the No. 39 ranked DT in the 2025 class. He now has a top-three of Alabama, Georgia and Tennessee, with the Crimson Tide getting the first of Charles’ official visits to all three schools. He will take his first-ever trip to Tuscaloosa on May 31.

“I just want to go down there and see everything,” House said. “But most importantly, I just want to see how I’m going to fit down there with the players and the rest of the coaching staff to see [if that] would be somewhere I’d consider home or not.

“[Alabama’s] the first on the list. They’ve got to make it big.”

Alabama has the first chance to make an impression on House, and how his visit goes will be crucial if the Tide wants to pip Georgia and Tennessee for his services. The Bulldogs will have the next visit starting June 7 and House will make his way to Knoxville, Tennessee on June 14. He is set to announce his commitment on June 22.

Though House only picked up an offer just over a month ago he’s developed a strong relationship with the Alabama coaching staff. His main recruiter has been Alabama defensive line coach Freddie Roach, while he’s also spoken with both Kalen DeBoer and Kane Wommack.

“They’ve been telling me good things,” House said. “[They’re] talking about where I'm at in the program and stuff they can do for me, and it just really caught my attention and that's why I had to set up an OV [to] get down there see what they’re about.”

House said DeBoer discussed his winning record and how he’ll keep Alabama at the top of college football. While he hasn’t been on campus yet, House has received a visit from Wommack and Roach in April. House said both coaches critiqued his game and gave him a great understanding of what it would be like to play for them should he commit.

“[Roach] is going to shoot it straight with me,” House said… “[Even] now he'll let me know what I'm doing wrong, talking about my pad level and stuff like that. So he’s already letting me know the type of coach that he’s gonna be now versus when I get down there. He's gonna let me know what’s up.”

House will join nine other top Alabama targets and a trio of 2025 commits next weekend as Alabama begins its June official visit period. Alabama is set for a big month on the recruiting trail with nearly three dozen recruits and commits set to take OVs before the summer dead period.

We talk about players who left Bama softball, but seldom mention Lexi. She and MF last year or a trio of Beaver, Briski and her would have been great. Oh well, it is what it is.

Davis Riley playing well this week.
Scotty is lurking.
RTR.

announces a career development program for former Alabama players.​

He is funding it at the beginning to get it off the ground. As good as a coach as he was, you continue to witness why the man was entrusted by so many parents to come to U of A.

I personally love this story because many times these players are superheroes while at the school .
This is also why he continues to be a recruiting advantage to the university.

As time passes they become a little less known and need an occupation.

I’m definitely jumping to conclusions here, but the lack of an answer really makes you wonder what in the hell happened here.

Over the last ten years there have been a lot of problems in Louisville, but today goes to the extreme.

Regrettably, a spectator was killed, as he walked to the tournament, hit by a bus. The incident was Scheffler was getting to the course for a T-time and he was arrested for going through a police line to get to the scheduled time, when he was being prevented from proceeding by the PD. Comeon, yes the Police had a job to do; however, one job was to insure the orderly administration of the tournament. The Louisville PD cannot walk and chew gum at the same time. The actions of LPD delayed the tournament for over an hour. Yes, there was a death investigation that had to be done, but there is also a schedule that needed to be maintained and there was a way to do both jobs.

TPD, which is a tenth the size handles matters like this, all the time.

This wraps up our transfer spotlight series. I hope you all enjoyed it!
