The Wednesday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral" welcomes one of our own, Will Miller, into the program. 

Miller brings his experience as a Charlotte Hornets follower to the show to discuss how the Alabama freshman will fit into The Queen City. Miller also had some interesting comments relating to the basketball legacies of LeBron James and Michael Jordan. 

Was Miller just showing his youth to the media ahead of the NBA Draft, or did he have a deeper reason for comparing himself to Paul George?

The program would be incomplete without a discussion around talented high school basketball player Jarin Stevenson. The rising junior in high school is considered a 5-star prospect in the 2024 class, but he's deciding on Wednesday night if he will reclassify and join the Crimson Tide this coming fall.

The program turns its eyes to college football as the Texas Longhorns are getting innovative with its donors as it relates to name, image and likeness. Is its new incentive program legal? How soon do we see the same incentives used in the SEC to enhance the power of collectives?

The program lands todays plane with a discussion on the Alabama diamond sports. The Crimson Tide baseball program filled its second assistant coaching position and the softball program is preparing for life after Montana Fouts.

All that and more on the Wednesday edition of "The Joe Gaither Show on BamaCentral".
