Let's have a lot of fun on a Tuesday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" with Mason Woods as we really get into 2025. The show discusses a transfer portal win for the football team, an incoming freshman making headlines, Alabama basketball heading to South Carolina and several other smaller topics fill the hour.

Our conversation opens with Dre'lyn Washington as he's announced his intentions to transfer to Tuscaloosa. What can the running back add from Louisiana? We discuss why fans should adjust some expectations as far as impact is concerned in the transfer portal due to roster sizes changing in 2025. The Alabama football discussion concludes with Keelon Russell talk as the incoming freshman quarterback checked in on social media to let everyone know how excited he was to get to Tuscaloosa on Monday.
