Monshun Sales Out of Alabama's Reach on The Joe Gaither Show

Let's crank up a Thursday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" with Theo Fernandez by returning from vacation to talk about a top football recruit and the Crimson Tide adding a playmaker to the basketball roster.

The program opens by catching up with one another after a week off and discussing today's World Cup game before getting into recent reports about Monshun Sales. Latest rumors suggest Sales has narrowed his recruitment to Texas and Indiana, leaving the Crimson Tide on the outside looking in for the prized recruit.
