Brandon Miller is in the starting lineup for Alabama against this afternoon.
When he was announced before the game, a teammate made sure to “pat him down” as he came out on the court.

While Miller seems to be clear of any criminal violations, the entire team and coaching staff seems to be completely tone deaf at the very least.
Earlier this week, Nate Oats maintained that he and Alabama have done all they can to handle the situation correctly:
“We’ve been taking it very seriously from Day 1. The first minute that I got the information, I called [AD] Greg [Byrne] and we talked about it and the severity of it,” Oats said at a Friday news conference. “Greg, I thought, did a great job addressing those comments on Wednesday, and I really don’t have much to add to it.
“We feel like we’ve done the right thing in this case. So I’m going to leave it at that with Greg’s comments.”
Miller’s name was mentioned in testimony Tuesday by investigator Branden Culpepper as having driven the vehicle containing the gun used in the shooting to his then-teammate, Darius Miles, who had asked Miller to bring him the weapon.
Miles, who has since been removed from the Crimson Tide’s program, and Michael Lynn Davis face capital murder charges in the death of 23-year-old Jamea Jonae Harris, who was shot near campus in the early morning hours of Jan. 15. Miles admitted to providing the gun used in the shooting, according to investigators, but said Davis fired the weapon.
