Jumbo Package: Nate Oats is bringing the energy, and will Najee Harris win the primary RB job?

Happy Friday, everyone. As Christopher Walsh notes, the energy around the basketball program since Nate Oats arrived on campus is palpable.

“Their work ethic has been really good,” Oats said about his new team. “You see guys want to get better.”

It’s nothing against his predecessors, but Oats has been nothing short of a breath of fresh air for Crimson Tide basketball. There’s a buzz around the program in June. The roster is completely full, which is something Alabama has struggled with for years, and even though everyone hasn’t arrived on campus yet the team is already being hailed as top-25 quality.
