• More than 30 scouts representing 24 of the 30 NBA teams were on hand for Alabama’s second annual Pro Day in the Coleman Coliseum practice gym. The event was closed to media. “It was an amazing event,” Alabama coach Avery Johnson said in a release. “This is significantly important, because players on our team who aspire to have a professional career in basketball have the chance to show case their talents. Since this is our second annual pro day, our returners have the chance to show how they have improved with their bodies, the mental part of the game, and their stamina. It is a great way to showcase our student-athletes and help them get some great exposure in front of some NBA scouts that were on hand today. We prepared ourselves by trying to play our game and not over doing it. Do what you do and do it to the best of your abilities.”
• Alabama track announced the hiring of Ryan Hays as pole vault and multi-events coach. The Kansas graduate joins the Crimson Tide staff from Missouri-Kansas City.
•After missing the first four game with a nagging Achilles injury, former Alabama safety Mark Barron made his season debut for the Rams against the Seahawks on Sunday and ended up leading his team in tackles with nine. “Personally, I still don’t feel like I’m back to my game speed,” Barron told reporters afterward. “I feel like I played well, considering that I ain’t played ball – you know, full-speed ball – in eight months. Like, I haven’t ran full speed in eight months, so I feel I played well considering that. But I didn’t feel like I was back to my top speed.”
