National champions AJ McCarron and Trent Richardson join Chris Stewart, the voice of Crimson Tide football and men's basketball, for another episode of THE DYNASTY!
The guys kick things off by explaining why you shouldn't panic about Alabama's 2027 recruiting class. They break down what they like about Kalen DeBoer's roster-building strategy, why they think it will pay off in the long run and how the NCAA's new age-based eligibility model could impact the Tide's roster in the years ahead.
Then, AJ and Trent pull back the curtain on what summer workouts at Alabama were really like during their playing days. They share how the legendary Fourth Quarter Program helped turn them into champions, what made those workouts so demanding and why they believe Scott Cochran is the greatest strength coach in college football history.
They wrap up the show by answering YOUR mailbag questions! What were Trent and AJ's favorite games at Alabama? What did AJ learn in Year 1 as head coach of the Birmingham Stallions? And what did Blake Sims have to do after borrowing Trent's shoes?
