Alabama Player's Parents Making News on The Joe Gaither Show
The Alabama Crimson Tide aren't playing a football game on Monday, so instead of previewing the Tide's national championship outlook we sift through many headlines over the weekend on the Monday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral".
Let's start first with two more players who've entered the transfer portal, Jake Pope and Kendrick Blackshire. On Friday's show we went through each portalee and discussed how big a loss they would be for Alabama so it's only right to chime in on Pope and Blackshire as well.
We stay in the transfer portal and discuss three players who have made decisions on their new homes. Seth McLaughlin decided to transfer to Ohio State, while Earl Little Jr. and Malik Benson are heading to Florida State. What does McLaughlin's decision say about the quality of player he is? What will the Florida State fans think of their new players, given the animosity they've had for the Tide over the last three weeks?
Next we discuss two players parents and the headlines they stirred over the weekend. What was Earl Little Sr.'s goal in putting his son's practice highlights on social media? Do those highlights indicate that Little Jr. was wrongfully passed over for playing time?
Secondly we discuss Mia McClellan's comments about her son Jase, and his opportunity to return to the Capstone if he so desires. Why would Ms. McClellan lie about her son's injuries or conversations that Coach Saban apparently had with them?
We take a little time discussing the Crimson Tide's performance in Nashville in the SEC season opener. Does hanging on against the Commodores indicate that Alabama is taking steps to properly close out games?
