Alabama football is getting faster — and the roster churn isn’t slowing down.
On today’s show, we break down Alabama flipping wide receiver Tyler Henderson from Kennesaw State and what his JUCO production + real in-game experience could mean for the Tide’s revamped WR room. We also dig into the NIL retention battle and why Alabama can’t afford to become a “feeder system” in the portal era.
Plus, we pivot to Alabama basketball after the Tide’s win over South Carolina without Charles Bediako, and why Nate Oats is drawing Nick Saban-like comparisons with his relentless standards — even after wins.
