COMMIT: Alabama picks up elite in-state 2028 QB
If there’s anything that anyone can say about Kalen Deboer, it’s that his recruiting of quarterbacks is probably the best in all of college football. Alabama secured a top in-state prospect Friday with a commitment from four-star quarterback Kingston Preyear, ESPN’s No. 3 pocket passer in the 2028 recruiting class. The 6-foot-3, 195-pound quarterback from […]
Jumbo Package: Former Alabama SS Jim Jarvis has a breakout game for Atlanta Braves
Happy Friday, everyone. We’ll start off today with a bit of baseball talk. The MLB Draft starts tomorrow, and SS Justin Lebron looks to become Alabama’s first top 15 selection in 35 years. Keith Law has Justin mocked to the Arizona Diamondbacks with the 15th pick, while ESPN’s Kiley McDaniel thinks the Angels will snag […]
Jumbo Package: Mac Jones talks 2020 season, playing with Jalen and Tua
Happy Thursday everyone. Yesterday we were honoring the day by Gumping over Keelon Russell’s Heisman candidacy, but Charlie Potter thinks that Austin Mack is still very much alive in the race and might even have an edge. Very interesting, but I still fully expect Russell to win the job. Nick Kelly continues to hear great […]
BEST OF RBR ~ Was 2012-2013 the Worst Year in Auburn Sports, EVER?
To celebrate 20 years of RollBamaRoll, I unearthed one of my own post from July 15, 2013 that I think is LOL. As bad as Auburn was at almost every sport this past academic year, 2012–2013 was worse. In some cases, they have improved. But in others, it sure seems like they are suffering long […]
Jumbo Package: Where Bruce Feldman sees Kalen DeBoer in the SEC pecking order
Happy Gump Day, everyone. Bruce Feldman was all over Michigan’s pursuit of Kalen DeBoer in the offseason, and he believes that the national perception of Kalen is much higher than that of most Alabama fans. “I think it’s probably better nationally than it is locally…” Feldman said. “Kalen DeBoer has done more than Steve Sarkisian, […]
Elite PG Anderson Diaz reclassifies, will play for Alabama in 2026-27
With Labaron Philon off to the NBA and Aden Holloway embroiled in legal troubles, the point guard position has been of major concern for Alabama fans this offseason. We may have received at least part of the answer today, as Anderson Diaz has made the decision to reclassify. Diaz looks an awful lot like a […]
Who Had the Best Year in College Sports for 2025–2026?
CBS Sports has been tallying all sports performances for several years now. Stanford tends to win many of the bogus Directors’ Cup because that organization equates a football national title at the same rate as a women’s water polo championship. CBS has much more accurate and sensible way to calculate. “Using a scoring system centered […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama and Auburn speak out against the Protect College Sports Act
Well well well, Alabama and Auburn agreed on something: In other words, it seems we are no closer to anything. Oh well. The 1966 and 2016 teams are getting honored for their SEC championships next season: The Alabama Crimson Tide are set to honor two of its 30 SEC football championship teams at Bryant-Denny Stadium […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama self-reports six minor violations
Happy Monday, everyone. I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. To start, them Bammers been cheatin’ again Pawwwwl, and this time they admits it. Football had a staff member who “had a contact with a prospective student-athlete during an evaluation period.” Other missteps include a women’s soccer coach sending an email to a prospective […]
Happy 250th, America!
Whoda thunk it? Two Hundred and Fifty Years of Freedom. We at RBR hope everyone has a safe and happy Independence Day. Lotsa stuff going on this weekend. For you Braves fan, check out this special moment: Former Tide infielder Jim Jarvis is playing for the Braves. At the John Deere Classic in Illinois, Alabama […]
Jumbo Package: Zabien Brown “clutch gene” is huge for Alabama defense in 2026
Happy Friday, everyone. Today is a holiday for many as we plan to celebrate ‘Murica, including sportswriters. But we will bring you what we have per usual. Nick Kelly covered “clutch” Zabien Brown in the latest “50 players” series. “It’s just a clutch gene,” Brown said underneath the stadium in December after the game. “I […]
From the Archives ~ How the Oklahoma Sooners and the Selma Marches Saved Alabama Football
When RBR switched over to the new platform, all FanPosts were flushed down the toilet. C.J. Schexnayder‘s (aka kleph) wrote this piece in the form of a FanPost published on March 9, 2015. As a courtesy to one of former writers and as a friend of RollBamaRoll, we repost this article here. Note that events […]
Jumbo Package: Can Cederian Morgan break out as a freshman?
Happy Thursday, everyone. Pete Nakos over at On3 did some digging on the NIL market for high school recruits this cycle, and it’s easy to see why Courtney Morgan and Kalen DeBoer prioritized retention instead. Texas Tech defensive line commit and No. 1 recruit Jalen Brewster is expected to make $1 million in Year 1. Cornerback John Meredith, […]
Should Alabama Football fans be worried the Tide isn’t winning recruiting in-state?
At this point, you’ve all seen the graphic that’s making rounds on the internet: Everyone and their mothers are having a field day with it and dancing on the the grave while praying for Tide to actually wind up there. Now, to be frank, there’s very fair reasons for concern about Alabama’s recruiting class this […]
Jumbo Package: Bray Hubbard looks to lead a title-worthy secondary
Happy Gump Day, everyone. Alabama’s secondary is expected to be one of the best in the nation in 2026, and Bray Hubbard is a big reason why. After a 2025 campaign where he was named first-team All-SEC and second-team All-American by the American Football Coaches Association, Bray and those in his circle fielded calls from […]
BEST OF RBR ~ Inside the Star Chamber: the unconstitutional farce of Title IX enforcement on college campuses
Continuing on our low-key celebration of 20 Years of RBR, we dug a beauty out of the archives. Long-time contributor Erik Evans posted this longform on Dec 19, 2016. He is really proud of this post and he tells me that it took a whole week to put together. The subject is still as poignant […]
Jumbo Package: Terrion Arnold released from the Detroit Lions
First things first, let’s talk a little about the Terrion Arnold story. It was a whirlwind of news yesterday, as he got through his hearing and was granted bail (despite the local attorney’s office requesting he be held without bail). Some clips from the hearing even leaked out that seemed like his defense was really […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama lands top 100 WR prospect
Happy Monday, everyone. There were many hallelujahs over the weekend after Alabama landed a top 100 prospect in WR Osani Gayles. After landing multiple receivers in Kalen DeBoer’s first two recruiting classes at Alabama, Gayles is the first one to join Alabama in 2027. But Gayles is the quality of receiver the Crimson Tide expects […]
From the Archives ~ Avatus Stone: The Man Who Didn’t Break The Orange Bowl Color Barrier
As a companion piece to C.J. Schexnayder‘s (aka kleph) previous post, here is the story of Avatus Stone as written on the Syracuse SBNation site nunesmagician.com in the form of a FanPost published on April 24 2011. After the format switchover by the mothership, all the FanPosts across the SBN universe were lost. As a […]
Football Recruiting Rankings – Don’t Believe the Hype, or Lack There Of
There has been a great deal of hand-wringing over Alabama Football recruiting as of late. The truth is, you can’t trust the recruiting rankings any more. Covering crootin’ became a career path in the early 1990s when college football scouting pioneer Forrest Davis put out a publication called the Forrest Davis Southern Football Recruiting Annual. […]
Jumbo Package: Nate Oats isn’t going anywhere
Happy Friday, everyone. Nate Oats went on ESPN Radio yesterday and said something that should be music to every Alabama fan’s ears. “I’ve known Warde Manuel for a while, but they’ve got a coach,” Oats said. “I’m very happy where I’m at in Alabama. I’ve got a pretty hefty buyout for a good reason because […]
Jumbo Package: Alabama football viewed as a wild card for 2026
Happy Thursday, everyone. Terrion Arnold was arrested yesterday, and it could be disastrous. On February 3, police said Arnold and Boakai Hilton lured the victims to an apartment in Tampa. Once they arrived, Christion Williams and Lyndell Hudson jumped out, grabbed the victims, and held them at gunpoint. Police say the video of the attack […]
Tide Baseball Busy In Portal
The Alabama Crimson Tide wrapped up their 2026 season in Omaha in the College World Series. Things didn’t go as they wished, and Bama was sent home after losing their first two games. The Tide finished the season 42-21 with an 18-12 record in the SEC, good enough for a 4th place finish. With two-thirds […]
From the RBR Archives ~ The 1953 Orange Bowl: Alabama Football’s Racial Dilemma
RollBamaRoll.com was birthed on May 30, 2006 when Nico G posted a Welcome to RollBamaRoll.com! post. 20 years later, we are still here and going strong. The bylines have changed but the agenda and attitudes are basically the same. To honor 20 Years of RBR, we thought we’d bring back some of the most intriguing […]
Jumbo Package: NCAA adopts five year, age based eligibility rule
Happy Gump Day, everyone. Labaron Philon became Alabama’s first NBA Draft pick since 2023 last night, chosen 22nd overall by the Philadelphia 76ers. Here’s what Philly brass had to say about him. Gansey said Philadelphia had Philon “a lot higher” on its draft board. “I think this is a really deep draft, at least in […]
