Roll Pod: An Alabama sports show from Bama247

With news related to UA men's basketball and football showing no signs of slowing, BOL staffers Travis Reier and Charlie Potter convened on the BamaOnLine Podcast Monday afternoon to weigh in on a myriad of topics.

Among them:

* As SEC wins pile up for UA men's hoops, so do accolades and top 10 rankings.

* On the football front, revamped offensive coaching staff taking shape.

* Senior Bowl week provides Mac Jones with opportunity to get outside comfort level.

* For Bill O'Brien, inheritance isn't the same as it was for Steve Sarkisian.

* Bryce Young ready to lift all boats?

On the most recent installment of the BamaOnLine Podcast, 2021 signee Kaine Williams joined BOL senior analyst Travis Reier on the show. Williams, a four-star safety from Marrero, La., provided insight on a number of topics including:

* Po Boy or Muffuletta for the New Orleans-area standout?

* Having graduated from John Ehret High School in the last week, how is Williams spending his time?

* When did Williams catch football fever and was there a time when he thought his future position might be on offense?

* Given their propensities for posterizing defenders, how would Williams go about tackling Derrick Henry and Najee Harris?

* At what point did his recruitment start to pickup and when did Alabama enter the picture?

* What went into Williams picking a specific date to announce his commitment?

* How UA went about identifying Williams as a potential offer and the approach taken by its staff.

* A couple of previous Alabama safeties from Louisiana played different roles. How does Williams see his UA career starting out from a positional standpoint?

* BOL's Signing Day evaluation of Williams: "Has the look of a box safety but shows nice range when working from a single high position. Excellent tackler who finishes with authority. In addition to safety, good bet to work at money position in the dime package. Also a prime core special teams candidate early on in his career."

A busy Tuesday evening off Bryant Drive resulted in a bevy of news coming from the University of Alabama athletic department.

At the forefront was the awarding of the 2020 Heisman Trophy to UA wide receiver DeVonta Smith, the Crimson Tide's third winner of college football's most prestigious individual honor in 12 years.

Meanwhile, with a Florida team that has had its way at Coleman Coliseum in town, the Alabama men's basketball team looked to take sole possession of first place in the SEC. In snapping an eight-game home court losing streak to the Gators, Nate Oats' team did just that.
