The latest news and notes involving the Alabama Crimson Tide on Thursday morning.
Good Thursday morning ‘Bama nation! Welcome back to another edition of Alabama Morning Drive where we bring you the latest and greatest involving the Alabama Crimson Tide!
We finally have an official update on a talented wide receiver’s status, another hoops player enters the portal, and Alabama softball has a game canceled.
So pour you a cup and let’s get this thing started.
First…softball’s midweek game was canceled…
Another Alabama men’s basketball player has hit the NCAA transfer portal.
Alabama redshirt sophomore forward Juwan Gary has entered the NCAA transfer portal according to Matt Zenitz of On3. Gary is the fourth member of the Crimson Tide to enter the portal this offseason. Gary will be joining former teammates Jusaun Holt, Jaden Quinerly, Keon Ambrose-Hylton, and Alex Tchikou in the portal.
Gary came to Tuscaloosa as a four-star prospect and a top 100 player hailing from the state of South Carolina. Gary missed his entire freshman season with an ACL injury and would go on to mostly come off the bench for the Tide over his next two seasons in Tuscaloosa. Gary averaged 6.5 points per game this past season with the Tide.
Head coach Nate Oats has had quite the roster turnover this offseason as he looks to build his own brand of basketball at the Capstone.

The latest involving the Alabama Crimson Tide on Tuesday morning.
Good Tuesday morning and welcome back to another edition of Alabama Morning Drive. Thank you for making Roll Tide Wire a part of your morning routine.
Among the items to discuss this morning are, the handful of basketball transfers, Bryce Young and Will Anderson’s media period on Monday, and much more.
Let’s get started!
First…’Bama hoops in the portal…
The 6-11 forward appeared in just two games this past season
Days after the Crimson Tide’s season ended in unfortunate fashion at the hands of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, it was dealt another blow when reserve forward Alex Tchikou entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal. The move was reported by Matt Zenitz via Twitter.
Tchikou will join Jahvon Quinerly, who announced the end of his college career the day after the loss to Notre Dame, and Jahvon’s brother Jaden Quinerly, as another impending departure from the Crimson Tide’s 2021-22 roster.
Tchikou, a 6-11, 200-pound power forward, arrived at the Capstone as a four-star recruit as part of the 2020 class and was ranked the eleventh best PF in the class, according to 247Sports’ composite ranking system.
He missed all but three games in the 2020-21 season with a ruptured Achilles tendon and recorded four rebounds in five total minutes on the floor.
He played in just two games during the 2021-22 season and recorded four rebounds in four total minutes played. His last appearance came in the blowout victory over the Miami Hurricanes on Nov. 28, where he tallied three rebounds in just a single minute on the court.
