The University of Alabama is an everything school.

Nick Saban and Nate Oats are producing top three picks in respective drafts for football and basketball.

The Crimson Tide made history as football produced the Nos. 1 and 3 overall picks with Bryce Young and Will Anderson Jr.

Basketball had Brandon Miller, the SEC Freshman of the Year, go No. 2 overall in the NBA Draft to the Charlotte Hornets. He joins forces with Lamelo Ball after helping Alabama capture an SEC Regular Season Championship, SEC Tournament Championship, and advance to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.

People are now seeing Alabama as more than a football school, especially with the rise Nate Oats has made in basketball for recruiting, winning conference titles, making NCAA Tournament runs, and now putting players in the NBA Draft.

Miller now joins Bryce Young in Charlotte, N.C.
