The Tuesday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" spins around The Capstone as our host met with both Alabama men's and women's basketball programs, the baseball program and the Alabama Crimson Tide football program on Monday.

The conversation starts with football of course as Nick Saban and the gridiron is king in Tuscaloosa. Was Saban truthful when he called Mississippi State a tougher preparation than the prior two weeks?

We discuss what's tangibly changed over the last two weeks with the Alabama defense. The Tide has held its opposition to just 13 points over the past two weeks, what has produced the stifling results?

The Alabama football program brought an intriguing athlete in freshman quarterback Dylan Lonergan. Lonergan, out of Brookwood, Ga. was also a highly touted baseball player who could see himself joining new head coach Rob Vaughn's program this spring. We discuss our meeting with Vaughn and what he had to say about the talented quarterback's baseball future.

The program concludes with a Tuesday victory for head coach Nate Oats. No, the basketball program didn't play against anyone, but the Tide secured its first commitment of the 2024 class in center Aiden Sherrell. 

How has Oats shifted his approach to roster management this offseason?

Our host implores Alabama athletic director Greg Byrne to get the new basketball arena started as Oats will continue to find success on the hardwood.
