Sources: Alabama starter Griffen to enter portal


Alabama sophomore Rylan Griffen, who started 33 games on the Crimson Tide’s Final Four team this season, plans to enter the transfer portal, sources told ESPN.

Griffen, a 6-foot-6 shooting guard, made significant strides during his season in Tuscaloosa. He averaged 11.2 points and 3.4 rebounds, shooting 39.2% from 3-point range.

He was at his best during the middle part of the season, averaging nearly 14 points per game during a 17-game stretch from late December to the end of February. After an inconsistent finish to the regular season, Griffen regained his shooting stroke in the NCAA tournament, making better than 48% of his 3-point attempts.

Griffen went for 19 points and five 3-pointers in Alabama’s Sweet 16 win over top-seeded North Carolina and then had 13 points and eight assists in the regional final against Clemson to help lead the Crimson Tide to the program’s first Final Four.

Alabama hires former college offensive lineman as assistant tight ends coach




Alabama football is hiring Noah Fisher to be its assistant tight ends coach, according to CBS Sports’ Matt Zenitz.

Fisher spent two seasons as a graduate assistant working with the offensive line and tight ends at Louisville before joining the Tide’s staff. He played three years on the offensive line at South Alabama and spent one season with Tulane. The Jaguars started Fisher along its offensive line when he was a player for multiple games.

The Crimson Tide appear to want to use their tight ends in multiple ways in the future including as extra blockers along the line of scrimmage. Fisher looks as if he can assist the Tide with this mission.

Petition calls on State of Alabama to fund fix for Prichard sewer system after spills


Sewage overflows during storms in Prichard are sending wastewater into local waterways that feed Mobile Bay, prompting an environmental group to push for state funding to upgrade aging infrastructure.

Mobile Baykeeper says sewage overflows during storms flow into Three Mile Creek, then into the Mobile River, and ultimately end up in Mobile Bay. The group said that last week, during heavy rain, more than 256,000 gallons of sewage spilled into Gum Tree Branch and Three Mile Creek.

Mobile Baykeeper has launched a petition seeking funding from the state of Alabama to fix Prichard’s old water infrastructure.
