Previewing this weekend’s spring game

Cecil Hurt and Ben Jones sit down to discuss the start of Nate Oats' tenure at Alabama. The new basketball coach convinced Kira Lewis Jr. and John Petty to remain in Tuscaloosa and has assembled his first coaching staff. They also discuss some of the players Oats is recruiting to finish the roster out, including Trendon Watford and graduate transfer possibilities.

Pat discusses the spring game, which can be useful for recruiting, reviews the NCAA tournament, and ponders the Masters.

Veteran hockey enforcer Dennis Sicard has a well-earned reputation as a hard-nosed, passionate player who's not afraid to throw down with even the most intimidating opponents. He and Peoria Rivermen play-by-play announcer Brad Kupiec join Journal Star hockey beat writer Dave Eminian to chat about Sicard and the upcoming playoff run for the first-place Rivermen.

Ben Jones, Cecil Hurt and Terrin Waack sit down to discuss spring practice and the 2019 A-Day game. They discuss Nick Saban's comments about underclassmen who choose to come out for the NFL draft and Ronnie Harrison's reaction in the first half of the podcast. In the second half, they discuss what to watch for at Bryant-Denny Stadium during the scrimmage, including which freshman have turned heads in spring ball.
