While Alabama’s NFL Draft shutout is still being debated and discussed, I wanted to draw your attention to today’s story in the Press-Register featuring a post-draft conversation with DJ Hall.

Yes, the most prolific receiver in Crimson Tide history signed a free agent deal Monday with the New York Giants, joining a list of other undrafted Alabama players who have since found a team (see below).

Hall’s absence was arguably the most surprising to teammates and fans.

And to Hall himself.

“There were 36 receivers taken in the draft, and I wasn’t one of them,” Hall said.

Hudson Alabama’s new women’s basketball coach (and former athletics administrator) Wendell Hudson is settling into his new role on campus, recruiting, selling and trying to rebuild a program coming off the three worst seasons in its history. I sat down with Hudson recently to discuss the transition for today’s Q&A that ran in the Press-Register. Among the topics: How did it come about that Hudson was tapped to replace Stephany Smith? Does Hudson see this as a long-term assignment? What is the key to energizing the fan base for women’s hoops? What has been the response around the Southeastern Conference? And better yet, has Hudson spoken with Smith since taking over in her place? (Read the full post about ‘Meet Wendell Hudson (again) …’…)

A second fire struck the Montevallo Gardens apartment complex in Birmingham’s Titusville community this morning, about eight hours after the first.

Chris Chandler, whose corporation — Montevallo Gardens, LLC — purchased the more than 300-unit complex about three weeks ago, said he would find other apartments for the six families whose apartments were most heavily damaged by the fires.

The first, which broke out in an upstairs apartment at about 8:30 Monday night, was an accidental cooking fire, Chandler said.

At least eight families have been displaced tonight and several apartments damaged after a two-alarm fire at a Titusville apartment complex, authorities said.

The fire started in one unit at the Montevallo Gardens Apartment Complex in the 300 block of Third Avenue Southwest at about 8:30 p.m.

Crews had the fire under control by 9:05 p.m. before it could spread to other units, said Birmingham Fire Battalion Chief C.W. Mardis. No one was injured.

The Jefferson County Sheriff’s Department located tonight a two-year-old child in the 1900 block of Brookside-Coalburg Road. Authorities said the child was reported missing from his front yard in the 2100 block at about 4:30 p.m.
