"A little bit too late" was the way coach Mark Gottfried described Alabama's resurgence at the end of the season. It allowed the Tide to finish with a winning record, albeit only 17-16, for the eighth consecutive season.

That wasn't good enough to get the Tide into the postseason, but it does give the team some hope for 2008-09.

The Tide closed the regular season with an overtime victory over NCAA-bound Vanderbilt and beat Florida handily to open the SEC tournament. The Tide then took Western division winner Mississippi State to overtime before losing in the tourney quarterfinals.

Gottfried looked at the positives for the Tide after that finish.

"We beat Arkansas, beat Vandy, beat Florida," he said, ticking off the late wins. "I thought down at LSU we played great. We went down to Ole Miss and played for 39 minutes and 50 something seconds.

"I'll tell you, with our guys, I'm disappointed obviously, but I'll tell you, this group of guys, they played hard, they competed hard, they practiced hard, they were focused in mentally."

At the very least, it is something for the Tide to build on for next season. But the makeup of the roster leaves some question as to what the foundation for the 2008-09 club could be. Richard Hendrix went to the NBA and Ronald Steele, despite multiple knee surgeries, is still being counted on to contribute.

Look down the left side and look for the interview with Altamont coach Barry Bearden talking about his point guard Gabe Harris. 6'2" 185#. Also list ...(more)

I keep hearing Bledsoe will end up JC -

If not, we were in real late to make a pitch. Bham News reporting he will announce Wednesday between KY and Memphis. No sour grapes, but if those are his choices, he's a one-and-done.


We may also have to consider that AG is looking for a serviceable PG to run the team, not BE the team. It looks like Eblen may well be that - I am hoping ...(more)

This was posted on a Bama B'ball blog - al.com

"Have seen the post on the southeast elite team out of huntsville.

They are in Little Rock, Arkansas and doing well but the reason I ask is because of who they have on their team.

Brandon Knight #1 in nation 09,

Luke Cothron #15 in Nation 09,

Trevor Lacey # 12 in nation 10,

Okay, spring practice is over, Andre's in Cinci, and JP's trying to hook on to the Falcons.
Sounds like Coffee is cooking at the Bay.

So let's talk hoops.
For you out of towners, here's the scoop from the Crimson Caravan:

BTW - For those out of state, The Blue Angels Air Show is in town this weekend. Went out to the airport yesterday with about 120,000 other people! Also, they were flying all over the place Friday, and they just flew over my house - show today also.

They are just unbelievable! Video and watching from other sites outside the airport don't do it justice.

If you read the bball blog at al.com, forgive the redundancy.

I know spring practice is in full swing, but we still got a lot of work to do.Anybody heard anything on the staff or recruiting??Signing day is 4/15. I watched the McDonalds game last week, and had a change of heart about Cousins.

He's a one-and-done for sure, but man what a talent!

I don't believe UK has ...(more)
