Where Do Alabama's Quarterbacks Stand Entering Spring Practice? The Joe Gaither Show

In this story:
Let's have big hump day edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" with Theo Fernandez as we discuss Alabama football opening up spring practice, the Crimson Tide losing out on a major basketball recruit, the SEC Tournament and highlight last night's Alabama baseball game.
The program begins with Kalen DeBoer's press conference inside the Hank Crisp Indoor Facility on Tuesday. Fernandez and Gaither highlight and discuss three key points from DeBoer's time in front of the media, beginning with the defensive front and its versatility. Who will be playing Bandit for the Crimson Tide?
We transition to the offensive side of the ball and chat about the big words DeBoer used when asked about the quarterbacks. Are Keelon Russell and Austin Mack "lightyears" ahead of where they were last year? If so, does that give you confidence in the quarterback room?

Lastly on football we talk about DeBoer's comments on the offensive line. What did DeBoer say would be different about this coming season's approach to offensive line development?

The show then takes a big turn and discusses Caleb Holt's commitment to Arizona. Why did Alabama miss out on such a prime time prospect from the state? Is it fair to freak out and make sweeping changes based on missing one recruit?
