Jumbo Package: Alabama football recruiting looks to heat up for 2026

1 week ago | rollbamaroll.com | Josh Chatham

Photo by Butch Dill/Getty Images Happy Friday, everyone. We are 71 days from kickoff, and as such Creg Stephenson is looking back at the ‘71 opener, when Bear Bryant shocked 5th-ranked USC on the road with his new Wishbone offense. It was also the first game featuring black players on the Alabama varsity squad. When Alabama took the field for the first time vs.

Jumbo Package: Former Alabama great CJ Mosley retires from NFL

1 week ago | rollbamaroll.com | Josh Chatham

Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Happy Thursday, everyone. The great CJ Mosley has officially announced his retirement, thanks in part to a neck injury that greatly limited him last season. “Once upon a time, a kid from Mobile, Alabama, had a dream to do great things on the football field,” Mosley said in an Instagram post. “I followed you my whole life not knowing where you would take me. To envision myself as a Ray Lewis or a Brian Urlacher was just the first steps of this 11-year journey.
ANALYSIS: 2025-2026 Alabama’s SEC Basketball schedule isn’t as punishing as it could have been

1 week ago | rollbamaroll.com | Erik Evans

Photo by Mitchell Layton/Getty Images I know we were somewhat optimistic last season when the Tide’s SEC Basketball schedule was released. It looked daunting, but no one anticipated it to be quite as difficult as it would prove to be. This year’s conference schedule was released today, and this time, I promise, there are some bright spots to be had in the nation’s most demanding conference.
Happy Gump Day: Tide flips ‘26 QB Jett Thomalla, and you’ve rarely seen a prettier deep throw

1 week ago | rollbamaroll.com | Erik Evans

Photo by Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images Happy Gump Day everyone. We’ll try to keep this upbeat (though we do have to mock the NCAA in a bit). First up, 247 is starting their in-depth recap / position preview this week. And today’s menu features the “bandit” and “wolf” positions. No, I don’t know what those mean, and I don’t care that I don’t know either: Mike, Will, SDE, Nose etc were good enough for Coach Saban, Pawwwwwl. (And yes I’m ignoring his “star” and “money” labels too.
Alabama Basketball: Meet the New Guys: Versatile Keitenn Bristow plays a lot bigger than his size

1 week ago | rollbamaroll.com | Erik Evans

Photo by Brian Rothmuller/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Despite being the Texas 3A PoTY, Keitenn Bristow was a lightly-recruited three-star power forward out of the small town of Holliday. With its proximity to Lubbock, North Texas, and the DFW metroplex, you’d think someone would have offered a player with 2100 points and 500 career rebounds. That was not the case, though. Not even UTSA, SFA, Sam Houston or North Texas offered him — much less the major D1 players in the state.
Jumbo Package: Will Revenue Sharing be Enough to Fix College Football?

1 week ago | rollbamaroll.com | Brent Taylor

Gary Cosby Jr.-Imagn Images With the recent House settlement behind us and a “salary cap” to be implemented in college football, there’s been plenty of arguing back and forth about what happens next. Here’s a good piece from Seth Davis of Hoops HQ. It’s behind a paywall, but you can get 1 article for free. The message being communicated from the very top is clear: Failure is not an option.
Alabama Basketball: Meet the New Guys: Taylor Bol Bowen - More than a defensive terror

1 week ago | rollbamaroll.com | Erik Evans

Photo by Jared C. Tilton/Getty Images If Aiden Sherrell is the high energy offensive weapon waiting to come into his own, and Noah Williamson is the swing forward that brings you a bit of everything, then Taylor Bol Bowen rounds out the trio of ‘Bama bigs, being defined by a quality the Tide has consistently lacked in the post: He’s a defensive terror. That’s not all he is, of course. And, it’s not even what jumps out the most about his game.
Jumbo Package: Alabama adds two national titles over the weekend, FSU is only 75 days away

1 week ago | rollbamaroll.com | Josh Chatham

Matthew Emmons-Imagn Images Happy Monday, everyone. Alabama added two national titles to the ledger this weekend, one each in men’s and women’s track and field. After men’s runner Samuel Ogazi won a title Friday night, another member of the Alabama Crimson Tide track and field team has won a national championship. That national title winning runner is Doris Lemngole, who captured a championship yet again Saturday night in the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase.
Alabama football OC Ryan Grubb sees NFL potential in Austin Mack

2 weeks ago | rollbamaroll.com | Josh Chatham

Jeff Hanisch-Imagn Images Happy Friday, everyone. Ryan Grubb was talking quarterbacks recently, and clearly sees big potential in Austin Mack. “When he’s on, and he’s pushing the ball where it’s supposed to go, I told him — and I mean it — if you went out to an NFL game and you watch some guys throw before the game, you’re like, that’s what they look like,” Grubb told Tide 100.9 radio on Thursday. “And that’s how Austin is.
