Let’s fire up a Wednesday edition of\u00a0“The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral”<\/a>\u00a0as we welcome Theo Fernandez back to the program. We discuss the NCAA’s new eligibility rules, Labaron Philon getting drafted and Alabama football recruiting. <\/p>\n The show begins with the NCAA’s new rules on eligibility. Will the 5-in-5 rule be an effective way to get a handle on who competes in college? We discuss the rule and potential loopholes we already see. <\/p>\n The show transitions into basketball as Labaron Philon was drafted with the No. 22 overall pick in last night’s NBA Draft. How will he fit in Philadelphia? <\/p>\n Lastly, we get into a larger Alabama football recruiting conversation as we take a voicemailer concerned about the Crimson Tide’s current Class of 2027 standing. When is the right time to be worried about Kalen DeBoer’s roster management strategy? <\/p>\n The program discusses recruiting and finishes by highlighting the three players that Alabama added to its recruiting class over the last two days. What does Tyler Younger bring to the Wolf room? Why was Darrius White offered a scholarship? What position will Stafford Willis play when he comes to campus? The show talks about the three prospects and how they may translate in Tuscaloosa.<\/p>\n We’re so appreciative of our sponsors who make the show possible.
