So yeah, don’t know where we go from here. Clearly we have someone we are looking at but there has been absolute radio silence lately. No visitors. No new mentions of offers or interest. I’m going to assume Oats has a plan here but we will see.
Just a heads up, jury selection started today in the Michael Davis/Jamea Harris murder trial. He and Miles are being tried separately. Miles' trial date has yet to be scheduled.
Alabama has always been one of the front-runners battling Ohio State. “Alabama is a great program,” Johnson said. “Just a rich history behind things they’ve done. I’ve also gained a great relationship with Coach Kane (Wommack), Coach Chuck (Morrell) and Coach (Kalen) DeBoer). Alabama has a rich history. That program, everything about it, it’s a major school. You can’t deny it. The thing they’ve done with linebackers, their portfolio is unmatched.”
Bray Hubbard started the final six games of Alabama’s 2024 campaign after a season-ending injury to Keon Sabb, and the former was one of the Crimson Tide’s most productive players. Defensive coordinator Kane Wommack saw Hubbard, a sophomore a year ago, take impressive strides throughout the former’s first year of directing Alabama’s defensive side of the ball. “We really challenged Bray in the offseason a year ago, in the springtime,” said Wommack on Tuesday night at the Mobile Sports Hall of Fame induction banquet, via AL.com. “He had an OK spring, he had a little bit better fall camp and then by the time his name was called to be our starter, I mean, he came in and had tremendous production.” Hubbard played in all 13 of Alabama’s games last year but saw his role grow in the second half of the 2024 season. The second-year safety finished Year 2 with the Tide with 57 tackles – good for fifth place on the UA defense – to go along with three interceptions, two pass breakups and one forced fumble. He tied Zabien Brown for the team lead in interceptions. With Malachi Moore exhausting his eligibility, Hubbard and Sabb are likely to be Alabama’s top two safeties this fall. According to Pro Football Focus, the Ocean Springs, Mississippi native is the sixth-best returning safety in college football ahead of the upcoming season. On Tuesday evening, Wommack noted Hubbard’s nose for the football this past season. As he gets set to be a Game 1 starter in 2025, Hubbard seems poised for a breakout campaign. “I think he’s taken his game to another level this offseason, just in terms of the leadership that he carries and brings,” Wommack said of Hubbard. “This was a multi-sport, multi-position football player/athlete coming out of high school, and he has really settled into the nuances that make a great free safety. And then all of a sudden, you change systems, and he’s adapted really well to that. “Bray is a production player. He’s a guy that can make plays for us. So I’m really excited to see what he’s gonna do this year.”
Miles’ defense attorney has previously argued in his bond hearings that a video showed another vehicle came up behind the vehicle Harris was in and a man got out and retrieved something from the trunk before getting back into the car and following the vehicle Harris was in. They argued the man got a shotgun out of the trunk and that this was a planned attack against Davis. That’s been a big part of their self defense argument. This is the first time I’ve seen confirmation not only of the shotgun but of it being shot.
He appeared for one subpoena, but not sure after that. Google is saying they had trouble locating him and compelling him to testify
Interesting that the state has put a lot of their case in the hands of Cedric who may be just as responsible any of this happened as Davis and Miles are
It’s immediately clear that this case is going to expose the incompetence of the local and state authorities to a national audience

Alabama will get the last trip the weekend of June 13. “Just our connection to Alabama,” Voss’s father Rod said. “Kalen DeBoer was the coach at the University of Sioux Falls and my wife’s cousin’s husband played for him. We used to go watch him coach all the time back when he was playing. Roman wasn’t born yet but my older son went. My daughter goes to Sioux falls now and plays volleyball there. “Ryan Grubb I used to work with him 20 years ago. I’m in the Ag business and Ryan was too before he got into coaching. I worked with Ryan’s dad and then with Ryan for two years. That was cool to see him when we were down at Alabama. Hadn’t seen him in 20 years. Had a good connection that way and crazy how he becomes the OC at Alabama. “That’s good connections and when we were there we had a good feel. Coach Ellis from Alabama is coming tomorrow night to make a house visit.”
Am I reading that right, the victim slid a gun to Johnson before the shooting. Tuscaloosa Pd tried to deny it but now the victims own cousin has confirmed?
So Saban and Cody the oil guy at Texas Tech are the chairs on this thing. Those two will definitely have different viewpoints on how this thing should shakeout.

Man, I'm excited for Ty. Could've left but waited his turn. His dad is the head coach for UT Martin so he probably told him to stick it out.
Ooooh I missed this. Alabama has added yet another marquee game to its 2025-26 non-conference schedule, finalizing an agreement to play St. John’s at Madison Square Garden in New York City, CBS Sports’ Jon Rothstein reported on Thursday. The game will be played on Saturday, Nov. 8. The game will be the first in a semi home-and-home series, bringing St. John’s to play in Birmingham during the 2026-27 season in what will likely be that season’s annual C.M. Newton Classic game. St. John’s has emerged as a major power in the Big East under legendary head coach Rick Pitino, sweeping the conference regular season and tournament titles last season while earning a No. 2 seed in the NCAA Tournament. Pitino and Alabama head coach Nate Oats met twice while Pitino was at Iona, once in the 2021 NCAA Tournament (68-55 Alabama win) and the following fall in the ESPN Events Invitational (72-68 Iona win). Oats is notorious for his difficult scheduling during his Alabama tenure, and 2025-26 is no different. In addition to St. John’s, the Crimson Tide will play Purdue at home (Nov. 13), Illinois in Chicago (Nov. 19), and Arizona in Birmingham (Dec. 13). Alabama will also play three games at the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas over Thanksgiving week and a TBA SEC/ACC Challenge opponent in early December.
