4-star in-state linebacker flips commitment from Auburn to Georgia

Auburn football’s 2026 recruiting class took another hit on Sunday, losing its second four-star linebacker commit in two weeks.

This time, it was Mobile native and Cottage Hill Christian Academy linebacker Shadarius Toodle, who confirmed his flip on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday by reposting his flip announcement from On3’s Hayes Fawcett.

Toodle originally committed to Auburn on July 27,2024, during the Tigers’ annual Big Cat recruiting weekend. However, Georgia’s interest seemed to pick up during 2025, capped off with a visit to Athens on May 16, according to 247Sports.

When speaking with AL.com following South Alabama’s 7-on-7 tournament on June 17, Toodle said he was still committed to Auburn, but mentioned that Georgia, Michigan and Baylor were still recruiting him.

“I’m still talking it over with my family,” he said at the time. “We feel strongly about Auburn, but we have to look at all the options and make sure that is the best situation.”

Less than a week later, Georgia now has Toodle’s pledge, and Auburn’s 2026 class is down to six commitments. Toodle’s flip also comes 10 days after JaMichael Garrett, a fellow four-star linebacker, decommitted from the Tigers.

With Auburn’s 2026 class now down another player, it ranks 60th in the country in 247Sports’ team recruiting rankings.

NBA Draft: High Tide in the first rounds of the 1990s

The NBA will hold its 79th draft on Wednesday and Thursday. Thirty first-round picks will be made starting at 7 p.m. CDT Wednesday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. NBA teams have drafted 49 players from Alabama high schools and colleges in the first round, and AL.com is counting down to the 2025 draft with a decade-by-decade look at the state’s first-rounders, including the 1990s:

On June 19, 1996, the Houston Rockets and the Vancouver Grizzlies made an NBA trade that involved two players and six draft picks.

One of the players was Pete Chilcutt. The Sacramento Kings had chosen the former Tuscaloosa Academy standout at No. 27 in the 1991 NBA Draft. The North Carolina forward’s selection returned Alabama to the first round after the previous two drafts had passed without a player from a state high school or college selected in the opening round and tipped off seven consecutive drafts that included at least one player with Alabama basketball roots in the first round.

One week after the trade, Vancouver used the first-round pick included in the deal to select Roy Rogers, who played at Linden High School and Alabama.

In addition to Chilcutt and Rogers, eight other first-round choices in the NBA drafts of the 1990s played at Alabama high schools and colleges. That followed 11 first-round picks with Alabama basketball roots in the 1980s to yield 21 first-rounders with state ties in a span of 18 drafts. In the 33 drafts that preceded 1980, 10 prospects who had played at Alabama high schools and colleges had been first-round choices. In the 27 drafts since 1997, 18 prospects who had played at Alabama high schools and colleges have been first-round picks.

The first-round NBA Draft picks with Alabama basketball roots in the 1990s included:

1991: Pete Chilcutt (Tuscaloosa Academy), No. 27 by the Sacramento Kings

After four seasons at North Carolina, the 6-foot-10 frontcourter started a nine-year NBA career that spanned seven teams as the final selection in the first round of the 1991 NBA Draft. One of Chilcutt’s stops came with the Houston Rockets’ NBA championship team in 1995. In 585 NBA regular-season games, Chilcutt averaged 4.3 points and 3.3 rebounds.

1992: Robert Horry (Andalusia High School, Alabama), No. 11 by the Houston Rockets

“Big Shot Bob” spent 16 seasons in the NBA with four teams without being named an All-Star. But Horry played for seven NBA championship teams – two with the Rockets, three with the Los Angeles Lakers and two with the San Antonio Spurs. Horry won more NBA titles than any other player who wasn’t part of the Red Auerbach/Bill Russell Boston Celtics dynasty. In 1,107 NBA regular-season games, the 6-foot-10 forward averaged 7.0 points, 4.8 rebounds, 2.1 assists and 1.0 steals. Horry also played in 244 postseason contests, the fourth-most in league history.

1992: Latrell Sprewell (Alabama), No. 24 by the Golden State Warriors

Though probably best remembered for his run-in with Warriors coach P.J. Carlesimo in the NBA, Sprewell was selected for four All-Star Games in 13 seasons – 1994, 1995 and 1997 with the Warriors and 2001 with the New York Knicks. In 913 NBA regular-season games, the 6-foot-5 guard averaged 18.3 points, 4.1 rebounds, 4.0 assists and 1.4 steals per game. Sprewell reached his career scoring high of 24.2 points per game in the 1996-97 season. In his second season, Sprewell led the NBA with 3,533 minutes played and made the All-NBA postseason team.

1993: James Robinson (Alabama), No. 21 by the Portland Trail Blazers

A 6-foot-2 guard nicknamed “Hollywood,” Robinson averaged 18.9 points per game in three seasons at Alabama. His top NBA scoring average came in the second of his seven seasons, when he reached 9.2 points per game for the Trail Blazers. In 381 NBA regular-season games, Robinson averaged 7.6 points, 1.7 rebounds and 1.9 assists.

1994: Wesley Person (Brantley High School, Auburn), No. 23 by the Phoenix Suns

The 6-foot-6 swingman followed his brother Chuck Person through Brantley High School and Auburn to become a first-round pick and an NBA sniper, with 1,150 3-point baskets in 11 seasons. He led the league with 192 3-pointers in 1997-98 for the Cleveland Cavaliers, one of the seven stops in his 11 NBA seasons. In 733 NBA regular-season games, Person averaged 11.2 points, 3.3 rebounds and 1.7 assists. His top scoring average came in the 2001-02 season when he reached 15.1 points per game for the Cavs.

1995: Antonio McDyess (Alabama), No. 2 by the Los Angeles Clippers

After the 6-foot-9 forward averaged 13.9 points and 10.2 rebounds per game in his second season at Alabama, the Clippers picked McDyess after the Golden State Warriors opened the draft by choosing Maryland’s Joe Smith. Los Angeles traded McDyess to the Denver Nuggets on draft night. In his first six NBA seasons, McDyess averaged 17.7 points and 8.8 rebounds per game, made the All-Rookie team and played in the 2001 NBA All-Star Game. He also won a gold medal with the U.S. team at the Sydney Olympics in 2000. But 10 games into his seventh season, McDyess sustained a knee injury that caused him to miss the rest of that campaign and the entire 2002-03 season. He returned to play in eight more seasons, averaging 7.8 points and 6.6 rebounds for that span. In 1,015 NBA regular-season games, McDyess averaged 12.0 points, 7.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 1.1 blocks.

1995: Theo Ratliff (Demopolis High School), No. 18 by the Detroit Pistons

The 6-foot-10 center led the NBA in blocked shots per game three times in his 16 seasons and was selected for the NBA All-Star Game in 2001, when he averaged career highs of 12.4 points and 8.2 rebounds per game for the Philadelphia 76ers. Ratliff played for nine franchises. When he led the league at 3.7 blocked shots per game in the 2000-01 season, he played for the 76ers. When his league-leading average was 3.2 blocked shots per game in 2002-03, Ratliff was with the Atlanta Hawks. The next season, when his NBA-best average was at 3.6, he played 53 games with Atlanta and 32 with the Portland Trail Blazers. In 810 NBA regular-season games, Ratliff averaged 7.2 points, 5.7 rebounds, 0.6 assists and 2.4 blocks after playing for Wyoming in college.

1995: Jason Caffey (Davidson High School in Mobile, Alabama), No. 20 by the Chicago Bulls

The 6-foot-8 power forward played on an NBA championship team in his second season with the Bulls after getting hurt in his rookie season and missing Chicago’s playoff run to the league title. The Bulls won the NBA championship again in Caffey’s third season, but he wasn’t around for that title after Chicago traded him to the Golden State Warriors on Feb. 19, 1998. Caffey had his top statistical season for the Warriors, the second of his three NBA stops. In 1999-2000, Caffey posted career highs of 12.0 points, 6.8 rebounds and 1.7 assists per game. In 462 NBA regular-season games, Caffey average 7.3 points, 4.4 rebounds and 0.9 assists.

1996: Roy Rogers (Linden High School, Alabama), No. 22 by the Vancouver Grizzlies

After averaging 3.1 points and 3.1 rebounds per game across his first three seasons at Alabama, Rogers averaged 13.5 points and 9.3 rebounds per game as a senior, when he blocked 14 shots in one game, to become the sixth first-round draft choice from the Crimson Tide in a five-draft span. After Rogers’ selection, though, Alabama produced one first-round pick over the next 21 NBA drafts. The 6-foot-10 power forward played in every game for the Grizzlies as a rookie, when he averaged 2.0 blocks per game and started 50 times. But in a span of 15 months, Rogers got traded four times, and he played in only 55 more NBA games. In 137 NBA regular-season games, Rogers averaged 4.8 points, 3.5 rebounds and 1.5 blocks.

1997: Kelvin Cato (South Alabama), No. 15 by the Dallas Mavericks

The 6-foot-11 center started his college career at South Alabama, although the Mavericks drafted him from Iowa State. Cato never played for Dallas, which traded him on draft night to the Portland Trail Blazers – the first of four times he was traded in his 10 NBA seasons. In 541 NBA regular-season games, Cato averaged 5.5 points, 5.3 rebounds and 1.3 blocks.

The 1990 draft featured 27 first-round picks, and the 1999 draft had 29 first-round picks. Wednesday’s first round will include 30 selections, so there was one selection in the 1990s of a prospect who played at an Alabama high school who would be a first-rounder this year but was a second-rounder at the time.

In 1994, the Phoenix Suns picked Duke forward Antonio Lang from LeFlore Magnet School in Mobile at No. 29.

Trump’s bombing of Iran’s nuclear sites gets support from unexpected source

President Trump’s authorization of military operations against Iran’s nuclear sites has drawn support from an unexpected source.

Democratic Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, known for his outspoken demeanor and casual attire, said the bombing of three nuclear sites in Iran was the “correct move.”

“As I’ve long maintained, this was the correct move by (the president,” Fetterman said. “Iran is the world’s leading sponsor of terrorism and cannot have nuclear capabilities.”

The president announced operations Saturday night, two weeks after U.S. ally Israel launched its own operations. The move prompted an outcry among Democratic lawmakers who said Trump lacked Constitutional authorization for a unilateral attack.

“We have completed our very successful attack on the three Nuclear sites in Iran, including Fordow, Natanz, and Esfahan,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “All planes are now outside of Iran air space. A full payload of BOMBS was dropped on the primary site, Fordow. All planes are safely on their way home. Congratulations to our great American Warriors. There is not another military in the World that could have gone this. NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

Six “bunker buster” bombs were dropped on a nuclear facility in Fordow, Iran, according to reports. Another 30 tomahawk missiles were fired at Natanz and Isfahan, Iran.

Fetterman’s comments aren’t the first time he’s backed Trump. He drew the ire of fellow Democrats last year when he said he wasn’t “rooting against” the president.

“If you’re rooting against the president, you are rooting against the nation,” he said. “So country first. I know that’s become maybe like a cliche, but it happens to be true.”
