- Alabama baseball commit Walter Ford had a big night.
And why not? Walter Ford (22 FL) OBLITERATES this homer over the batters eye. Not bad for a kid that should be starting his junior baseball season. Ability on the bump can’t be ignored but this will be a fun 2-way talent to follow this spring. #PGHS #Alabama commit https://t.co/sCLNo51C7U pic.twitter.com/r7OcvjSVB9

Crimson Tide Quote of the Day
“He was a hard-nosed coach and demanded a lot from us. If you can do it and you can do it well, why not do it perfect? That was his whole philosophy pretty much.” – Former Alabama defensive lineman Marcell Dareus (2008-10) on Nick Saban
