Let's close down the week strong with a Friday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral". 

We're all over the map dancing between football and basketball topics as we begin with Rose Bowl practice opening up on Saturday. As Rose Bowl practice begins we also celebrate and look at the early-enrollees in the Class of 2024. 

At least 11 members of the class will be in Tuscaloosa over the weekend and they'll get their first taste of college football action on the practice field. We review the 11 and discuss if any of them can make an early impact on the 2024 squad.

The program moves on and talks about Bill Hancock as the executive director of the College Football Playoff sent a clear and concise message to Florida Senator Rick Scott about the exclusion of Florida State in the College Football Playoff.

We discuss Jalen Milroe's media presence and how big a deal it was for him to make news by announcing his return this week and then we bounce into basketball.

Can Alabama get a much needed win against a top 10 team in Creighton this weekend? We know the Tide can score, but can they find their defensive chops before conference play gets underway?

Lastly we look at this weekend's bowl slate as we pick winners for every game on Saturday. It's fun to have bowls in our lives, but is six wins too low a win total to make a bowl game?

The program finishes with a look at the Michigan Wolverines as our hosts has reviewed the first eight weeks of action. What does Big Blue want to do to Alabama? What kind of personnel are they bringing to California for this game?
