"Summer basketball would be great. Our guys are on campus. I don't know of any D1 team that doesn't. Softball has Fall softball. Baseball has Fall baseball. Calipari has brought this up at our [SEC] meetings and he's got a good point."
- Nate Oats at 2022 SEC BBall Media Day
North Dakota State transfer Grant Nelson makes it official, and tells me that he will transfer to Alabama.
Nelson had gone through the NBA Draft process before withdrawing prior to the deadline.
The 6-11 senior averaged 17.9 points and 9.3 rebounds last season for the Bison.
I want to thank everyone who supported me and showed me love. With lots of prayer, I have decided to reclass to 2023 and play for the University of Alabama. 🐘 #RollTide
Nick Saban speaks again on the CFP system👀
"But do you really get the best teams? When they told me that we would be favored against 3 out of the 4 teams that got in the playoff, I’m like, why aren’t we in the playoffs?”

on february 15th 2020 university of alabama forward herbert jones played basketball against the lsu tigers with a cast on his dominant hand. he collected a career high 17 rebounds along with making two late game free throws with only his off hand to lead the tide to victory.
Bama fans are really nervous right now with grant Nelson on the hill. He left Bama with no commitment after a 1 day visit (as expected) and we get to host him for the next 2 days. I like our chances. #Wps

THE BATTLE OF LA NEVER EXISTED
This seems like an innocent claim but it can turn out to have a pretty bad impact on people.
1. An examination of the Greek term “pistis” (translated as “faith” in the NT) shows that it does not include the idea of “without evidence.”
2. In the Bible, God frequently calls people to have faith as a direct response to evidence.
3. Even our central belief, the resurrection of Jesus, was demonstrated with several proofs. “He presented himself alive to them after his suffering by many proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.” Acts 1:3 ESV
- The empty tomb
- Multiple appearances of Jesus in front of individuals and crowds.
- The confirmation of prophecy (road to Emmaus)
- Jesus presenting His wounds for inspection.
Etc.
4. The danger of teaching that faith is belief without evidence is that it can result in people actually thinking we have zero evidence for the Christian faith!
5. Romans 1 shows that even belief in God’s existence is something required of us because of the overwhelming evidence.
6. Christians who claim faith is belief without evidence are contradicting Scripture and unintentionally feeding into the excuses of those who deny there is any evidence for Christianity. That’s a pretty significant mistake.
