Good Monday morning and welcome back to another edition of Alabama Morning Drive. It was a busy weekend for not only Alabama athletics, but for the rest of the SEC as well. Today we will get you caught up on the world of SEC hoops, Alabama baseball, softball. Plus we will go over some of Alabama’s top performers at the 2022 NFL scouting combine.
Alabama baseball and softball sweep the weekend
It was a fantastic weekend on the diamond for Alabama athletics. Brad Bohannon’s Alabama baseball took care of business at home against Murray State while Patrick Murhpy and the ladies squashed the competition in the T-Mobil Crimson Classic in Tuscaloosa. The softball team took down Texas and Miami (OH) two times each over the weekend.
The Alabama baseball team is scheduled to hit the field again on Tuesday afternoon when they host Middle Tennessee. The Alabama softball team was scheduled to face off against Eastern Illinois late this afternoon, but that game has been canceled and now the ladies will not play again until they travel to Baton Rouge to take on LSU for a weekend series against the Tigers.
LSU adds coveted QB from transfer portal
The LSU Tigers under first-year head coach Brian Kelly may have just gotten a little better with the news that coveted Arizona State quarterback transfer Jayden Daniels has committed to the Tigers.
If anything, the competition at quarterback should be interesting with former starter and veteran Myles Brennan returning, along with young and talented prospects such as Garrett Nussmeirer and Walker Howard, and now the addition of Daniels. The competition in Baton Rouge will be a hot topic all off-season.
Several former Tide players impress at NFL combine
The NFL draft and the NFL scouting combine are two of my favorite events each and every year. This last week we were able to see some of the most talented prospects compete at the combine to better improve their draft value for an NFL franchise. Some of those players who likely improved their stock were a handful of former Crimson Tide standouts.
Brian Robinson Jr., Christian Harris, and Jalyn Armour-Davis, all most likely improved their draft position with strong showings at the combine. These prospects along with a few others will also have an opportunity to work out for NFL teams during Alabama’s Pro Day on March 30.
SEC hoops tournament bracket is set
The SEC basketball regular season has come to an end and now we head into conference tournament action. Alabama will enter the tournament as a sixth seed and will have to wait until Thursday night to see who they will be matched up with. The Tide will take on the winner of Vanderbilt and Georgia.
Here is a look at the complete 2022 SEC Tournament bracket.
