Alabama to reportedly host one of top players available in transfer portal
With only a few spots remaining to fill out the roster, the Alabama Crimson Tide are reportedly set to host one of the top basketball players available in the transfer portal, Desmond Claude, for a visit starting this upcoming Sunday.
The visit was reported by On3's Joe Tipton, and will begin Sunday evening.
A transfer guard from USC, Claude is coming off a season in which he started 32-of-33 games for the Trojans to average 15.8 points, 3.5 rebounds, and 4.2 assists per game on 48.2% shooting from the field. Claude also shot a combined 30.7% from three, as well as 76.4% at the free throw line.
One of the better seasons of his collegiate career, this also came just a year after Claude transferred to USC from Xavier where he averaged 16.6 points per game during the 2023-24 campaign to be named Big East Most Improved Player.
According to 247Sports' Transfer Rankings, Claude ranks as the No. 34 overall player in the portal this offseason, as well as the sixth-highest rated uncommitted prospect currently.

2025 WNBA MVP, DPOY, MIP Odds: Betting, Futures, Predictions, including Napheesa Collier vs Alyssa Thomas
With a little bit over a dozen games remaining in the regular season, the WNBA Awards are dwindling down and the MVP got a little more interesting this past week. Let's take a look at the MVP, DPOY and Most Improved Player markets. Odds are courtesy of DraftKings. WNBA MVP Ladder: In the Lynx's 111-58 win over the Aces on Saturday, Napheesa Collier (-300) sat out the fourth quarter with an ankle injury and is listed as day-to-day. That has opened the door for Alyssa Thomas (+250) who dropped from +700 to +250 with Collier's injury. On Sunday, the day after Collier's injury, Thomas recorded 10 points, 10 rebounds, and 10 assists in a win over Chicago for her second triple double of the season. Thomas averages a career-high in points (16.0), assists (9.0), and field goal percentage (53%) in her first season away from Connecticut. Despite her outstanding season, Collier should still win MVP, so I will pass on Thomas' rise. WNBA DPOY Ladder: These odds are based on Thursday's market as most sports books have not released an updated since Saturday because of Napheesa Collier's (+200) injury. While I still believe she is the right bet in this market and will be the favorite when odds are restored, Gabby Williams (+275) isn't going away and deserves a shoutout. In a double OT loss to the Sparks, Williams posted five steals after posting 12 combined steals in the four previous games (17 steals over a five-game stretch). It's solely a two-player race and Collier's future will be determined on if she misses too many games down the stretch. Collier can become the fifth player since 2007 (A'ja Wilson, Lauren Jackson, Lisa Leslie, Sheryl Swoopes) to win MVP and DPOY in the same season. With the Lynx likely finishing with the best record, her MVP, and the most wins in WNBA single season history (34-6 record by Las Vegas in 2023) — thanks to four games being added this season — DPOY is likely another way this team/Collier is rewarded for an outstanding regular season. WNBA MIP Ladder: Last week, I wrote about Allisha Gray (+185) to win Most Improved Player at +400 and she has climbed the ladder once again. A month ago, she was +1500 and now she is the favorite with 12-15 games remaining. Gray went for 26 and 22 points in her past two games on 15-of-27 (55.5%) shooting, including 9-of-13 (69.2%) from three. Atlanta won both games and is currently on a three-game winning streak with Gray being a driving force on both ends (4 steals, 1 block in that span). Last week, four players were +400 as co-favorites with Gray being one and Azura Stevens (+300) being another. The field has started to clear and Stevens took firm control of second in this field per oddsmakers. Stevens has 15-plus points in six of the past seven games and six-plus boards. On the season, she averages career-high in points (14.9), rebounds (8.5), assists (1.4), and steals (1.3) per game. It'll be a close race down the stretch, but I will continue to side with Gray after her big week. Vaughn Dalzell's WNBA Futures Bets: 2 units: Golden State Valkyries to miss the playoffs (-125) 2 units: Stephanie White to win Coach of the Year (+115) 2 units: Minnesota Lynx to win Championship (+340) 2 units: A'ja Wilson to win MVP (+225) 2 units: Napheesa Collier to win DPOY (+200) 2 units: Napheesa Collier to win MVP (+150) 1 unit: Allisha Gray to win MIP (+400) 0.5 unit: Napheesa Collier to win MVP (+300) 0.5 unit: Jonquel Jones to win DPOY (+3000) 0.5 unit: Angel Reese to win DPOY (+2000) 0.5 unit: Aliyah Boston to win DPOY (+3500) 0.5 unit: Kamila Cardoso to win DPOY (+5500) 0.5 unit: Kayla Thornton to win MIP (+400) 0.5 unit: Brittney Sykes to win MIP (+250) 0.5 unit: Aliyah Boston to win MIP (+1500) 0.5 unit: Kamila Cardoso to win MIP (+3000) 0.5 unit: Seattle Storm to win the Championship (+2500) Please bet responsibly.

Kalen DeBoer provides injury update on Alabama freshman wide receiver
Following the program's fall camp practice Sunday, Alabama Crimson Tide head coach Kalen DeBoer provided an update on an injured freshman wide receiver. That wideout is true freshman Lotzeir Brooks, who has reportedly been spotted in a walking boot, but is an injury that should not affect the receiver for very long, according to DeBoer on Sunday. 'It won't be anything long-term or anything like that,' DeBoer said. 'So, just be a little bit of recovery here. I don't know if it's day-to-day, but it's not going to be something that's extended.' A member of Alabama's 2025 recruiting class, Brooks comes to Tuscaloosa after a memorable high school career while playing at Millville High School in New Jersey. Per the 247Sports Composite rankings, Brooks was considered as a four-star prospect, as well as the No. 185 overall player in the class. Brooks also ranked as the No. 25 overall wide receiver nationally. A potential instant-impact member of Alabama's freshman class, Brooks will be a player to monitor over the coming weeks leading up to the Crimson Tide's season-opener at Florida State.

Chiefs scouting report: Alabama Crimson Tide DT James Smith
Last year, Chris Jones signed a contract extension and earned his third consecutive First Team All-Pro selection. All signs point toward the 31-year-old maintaining his dominance for the foreseeable future. However, the Kansas City Chiefs should keep their eyes on the 2026 NFL draft and the next generation of defensive tackles. Alabama Crimson Tide defensive tackle James Smith saw his first meaningful action last season. With fewer than 400 career defensive snaps under his belt, Smith is an explosive and slightly undersized developmental lineman with the athletic traits to make a splash in the coming years. Smith is unofficially listed at 6'3", 296 lbs. He possesses a natural leverage advantage and makes up for his lack of mass by exploding off the line to shoot through gaps. Smith fits the classic penetrating 3-tech role. He displays impressive agility and burst when quickly exchanging gaps at the snap and on stunts. Smith's power is still inconsistent but takes over some plays with a two-armed bull rush that walks guards or centers into the pocket. His hands lack pop, but his arm extensions pry up the lineman's pad level and create some immediate displacement. Smith lacks elite arm length but compensates with good strike placement. Smith's pass rush plan includes clubs, converting speed to power, push-pulls, rips and spins. His club-swim is his best pass rush move. It generates some instantaneous wins and early pressures, especially against centers. Smith's hands are active but lack refinement. He needs to play with better control and timing to maximize his athletic traits. Smith's lack of mass and attacking mentality create a mixed bag of results in run defense. He runs himself out of some plays and doesn't have the hand counters to consistently separate in a timely manner. Smith struggles to hold the point of attack against double teams but uses the knee-drop technique to maintain his positioning and clog run lanes. Smith's athleticism and terrific motor show up when he finds himself isolated with a guard in the run game. He appears much more patient and in control when facing linemen one-on-one, allowing him to stack and peak blocks before redirecting to the football.
