Preseason All-American's usually don't fall off of trees and appear for the first time in week eight. However, the Alabama Crimson Tide continues to bear fruit from an everlasting tree. This time around, the tree produced five star, preseason All-American transfer cornerback Eli Ricks.
The Alabama gymnastics team comes off their first win heading into the Iron Bowl meet versus Auburn Friday. The Tide posted their season high overall score, a 197.650, against the Kentucky Wildcats. That meet was also their first home meet of the season. Alabama head coach Dana Duckworth was happy with the gymnasts performance against the Wildcats going into Friday's meet.
