This is not an Alabama team from yesteryear, far from it in fact. While Kalen DeBoer was an excellent head coach coming in, he has quickly proven to…
A little more than a month from now, the ballots will be counted and an SEC men’s basketball preseason player of the year will be named. There’s a good chance that player will be Kentucky’s Otega Oweh. The leading scorer from Mark Pope’s first UK team is back for his senior year, and an exodus of recent stars from the league should make for a wide-open race for top player honors during the 2025-26 season. That’ll get sorted out once the games begin. When selecting the players most deserving of preseason honors, however, past success is paramount. Oweh doesn’t…

While Alabama football feels they have found Milroe’s replacement, there appears to be some mystery about who the no. 2 play caller will be. Ty Simpson will start for Alabama to open the 2025 season. DeBoer is reluctant however to name a second-string play caller, as Keelon Russell and Austin Mack fight for that job. We won’t really get into that as far as who’s the second,” Kalen DeBoer said to reporters,…
Alabama covets versatility. It doesn’t matter if we’re talking about Kalen DeBoer and Ryan Grubb with the offensive guys, or Kane Wommack on defense. Providing flexibility and filling a variety of roles always increases value. A perfect example of that last year was Jihaad Campbell, who was an impact linebacker playing both on and off the ball.
