Alabama Basketball Welcomes Familiar Face on The Joe Gaither Show

Let's fire up a Wednesday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" with Theo Fernandez as we discuss the crazy developments in college basketball and how the Crimson Tide is taking advantage of the current landscape of the day. We briefly discuss EJ Crowell winning Mr. Football in Alabama and the assistant coaches on the road recruiting.

The program begins with Charles Bediako and his apparent return to Tuscaloosa. We discuss all the angles of Bediako's return as he would provide a significant upgrade to the Crimson Tide's defensive efforts. Will Bediako be eligible to play for Alabama? Is he already enrolled in classes? What is the best path forward for the NCAA and the Crimson Tide?

Lastly, we briefly discuss the Crimson Tide running back room as incoming freshman EJ Crowell won Mr. Football in the state of Alabama. Does Alabama have enough juice in the running back room for the upcoming season or should the coaching staff keep shopping for someone in the portal?
