Inside Alabama Roundtable Podcast: QB Questions, Basketball Buzz, and More!

On the latest episode of the Alabama Roundtable podcast, hosts Hannah Stephens and Brandon Gibson covered everything Crimson Tide as the offseason continues to unfold, from football to hoops to gymnastics and softball.

With the landscape shifting rapidly across Alabama athletics, this episode delivered insight, analysis, and plenty of takeaways for fans headed into the spring.

The conversation of Ty Simpson’s decision to enter the NFL Draft, has become one that that has far-reaching implications for Alabama football. Stephens and Gibson broke down what Simpson’s departure means for the Tide, not just in terms of talent lost, but in how it reshapes the quarterback room and the program’s identity going forward. They noted Simpson’s impact during his time in Tuscaloosa and applauded his choice to chase the next level, while also understanding the challenge that now lies ahead for Alabama’s offense.

Naturally, that led into an in-depth look at the new QB battle. With Simpson gone, multiple contenders are emerging for the starting job next season. Stephens and Gibson discussed each candidate’s strengths, what they showed last year, and why the competition is more intriguing, and more open, than most fans realize. From experience to upside, this QB carousel promises to be one of the most compelling storylines of the offseason.

But it wasn’t just football on their radar. The hosts also delivered the latest men’s basketball news, including key performances, roster developments, injuries, and how Nate Oats’ squad is stacking up as postseason play approaches. They explored what this Alabama team’s strengths are, where improvements can be made, and which players are poised to make a difference when the stakes get highest.

Stephens and Gibson didn’t stop there. The episode also touched on coaching changes, how those shifts could influence various programs, and the momentum building in women’s gymnastics and softball, two areas where Alabama continues to compete at an elite level.

From draft talk and quarterback questions to basketball buzz and the continued rise of Alabama’s spring sports, this week’s Alabama Roundtable truly left no stone unturned. The episode offered a full snapshot of where Alabama athletics stand right now, the challenges ahead, the opportunities emerging, and the standard that never changes in Tuscaloosa.

Whether it was football’s future, postseason hopes on the court, or championship expectations in gymnastics and softball, the conversation reinforced one thing loud and clear: there’s never an offseason at Alabama.

Roll Tide!
