College football rivalries have no offseason.

Nor do they have a statute of limitations for trash-talking, as was evident in a social media post by Tennessee’s football rival, Alabama, on Friday. The Crimson Tide posted a video of its summer workouts as a way to hype the Alabama fan base with the 2025 season fast approaching.

Alabama’s social media team took an opportunity to take a swipe at former Tennessee coach Butch Jones in the process, by using the caption “brick by brick” to accompany the 36-second video.

“Brick by brick” was the slogan Jones was known for using during his Vols coaching tenure from 2013-17. The reference was to build a strong foundation for a lasting program. Jones went 34-24 in his four years with the Vols, which included a 14-24 record in the SEC.

Jones was fired during the 2017 season with two games remaining on the schedule. He went 5-15 against Alabama, Florida and Georgia ― Tennessee’s three biggest annual rivals.

This past Thursday, the 2025 NBA Summer League officially began play out in Las Vegas, Nevada, with many former Alabama Crimson Tide basketball players among the names competing for NBA roster spots in the coming weeks.

Among this group of former Alabama players, all four of the Crimson Tide’s undrafted prospects from the 2025 NBA draft are in Las Vegas this week to showcase their talents for the first time at the professional level, while there are a few others from the program’s past as well.

There is also a former first round pick among this group who played in the first Summer League games, a player who has NBA experience.

Here is a look at how every former Alabama player performed during their 2025 NBA Summer League debut across the last two days.

A date has been set for former Alabama basketball player Darius Miles to stand trial for capital murder.

Miles’ trial will begin Dec. 1 in Alabama Circuit Court, more than two years after his arrest for his role in a fatal shooting in Tuscaloosa, per ESPN.

The 23-year-old’s co-defendant, Michael Davis, is currently appealing the verdict which found him guilty on capital murder charges in May and sentenced him to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Miles is accused of “aiding and abetting” Davis in the murder of Jamea Harris.

Davis, Miles’ childhood friend, was found guilty of shooting and killing Harris while she sat in the passenger seat of her Jeep — Davis was in a shootout with Harris’ boyfriend, Cedric Johnson.

Davis’ defense attorneys argued that he was protecting himself from Johnson.

Prosecutors allege that Miles was the one who supplied Davis with the gun prior to the killing of Harris.

Miles’ teammate at the time, current Charlotte Hornets forward Brandon Miller, was previously tied up in the case as he was initially said to have knowingly delivered the murder weapon.

Miller and Miles had been texting in the time leading up to the murder, and Miller drove to Miles’ location with Miles’ weapon in the vehicle to pick him up.

However, Miller testified in Davis’ trial, saying that he was unaware of Miles’ gun being in his car.

Miller has cooperated with the trial and hasn’t been accused of any wrongdoing or charged with any crime.

It’s not yet known if Miller will be called to testify for Miles’ trial as he did for Davis’ trial.

Miles has been held in Tuscaloosa County Jail since his arrest on Jan. 15, 2023, which was the day he was also promptly removed from the Alabama men’s basketball team.

In three seasons for the Crimson Tide, the 6-foot-6 forward average 4.2 points and 2.3 rebounds across 53 total appearances.
