Good morning, Tuscaloosa.

On April 27th, an F4 tornado swept through Tuscaloosa—claiming the lives of residents aged 2 months to 98 years and prompting the city to compile a list of victims for the book 'Eye of the Storm: The Devastation, Resiliency and Restoration of Tuscaloosa, Alabama'.

Tuscaloosa police responded around 5 a.m. Saturday to a report of a shooting at a storage business and found 28 year old Autumn Monea Mack dead after an argument—US Marshals later arrested suspect Shaquan Lavar Knight that same evening.

Charges of dog cruelty filed in Tuscaloosa against former Bama and NFL player Isaiah Buggs were dropped after his defense team presented phone call statements that cleared him—court documents confirm the dismissal.

Alabama men's tennis lost a match 4 to 3 to No. 11 Mississippi State on Sunday at the Alabama Tennis Stadium and fell to a 14 to 11 overall record (4 to 10 in SEC play).

The team honored seniors (Zach Foster, Filip Planinsek, Enzo Aguiard and Damien Nezar) before the match.

Former Alabama guard JD Davison signed a standard NBA contract with the Boston Celtics and will join their 15-man playoff roster after three seasons on a two-way contract—he earned an MVP-winning season in the G League with strong numbers and extra playing time in the Celtics’ finale against the Hornets. His signing reflects his long, hard work and persistence on the basketball court.

Three Alabama women's basketball players were selected at the 2025 WNBA draft in New York City Monday night—guard Sarah Ashlee Barker was chosen 9th overall by the Los Angeles Sparks.

Aaliyah Nye and Zaay Green were picked by the Las Vegas Aces and Washington Mystics respectively and will begin training as the season starts on May 16.

Three Alabama football players—linebacker Jihaad Campbell, offensive lineman Tyler Booker, and quarterback Jalen Milroe—are expected to attend the 2025 NFL Draft in person; Campbell is projected as a mid-to-late first-round pick, Booker’s first-round favor has lessened, and Milroe is likely to be selected in the second round as the fourth quarterback while two other players are expected as later picks.
