Dee Hart Injured

University of Alabama freshman running back Dee Hart suffered a knee injury on Tuesday.

The extent of the injury is not known at this time, but an MRI will determine the significance of the damage and could very well decide Hart’s fate for the 2011 campaign.

Hart, one of the top national high school running backs in the 2011 class, participated in the annual spring scrimmage and was expected to vie for a position on the depth chart at running back.

If Hart is absent for the entire 2011 season, Alabama will have to depend on the likes of Jalston Fowler to fill the third spot in the rotation behind Trent Richardson and Eddie Lacy.

Trent Richardson Victim of Hit-and-Run

University of Alabama football player Trent Richardson was the victim of a hit-and-run early Thursday morning in the 2300 Block of 4th Street in Tuscaloosa.

At 1:30 a.m. the Tuscaloosa Police Department responded to a “Leaving the Scene of an Accident/Menacing Call.”

Police identified Alabama running back Trent Richardson as the victim and a citation was issued for the perpetrator who fled the scene of the accident.

Richardson declined action on the Menacing Charge and the case has been closed per the Tuscaloosa Police Department.

Richardson was not injured during the ordeal.

Green Dismissed, Sentimore and Malone Suspended

Alabama Crimson Tide safety Robby Green, who missed the entire 2010 season due to NCAA violations, will not return to the team for the 2011 campaign after being formally dismissed.

Green, who has one year of collegiate playing illegibility remaining, is expected to transfer.

Defensive end Darrington Sentimore (who is currently exploring transfer options) and wide receiver Keiwone Malone have been suspended indefinitely for violation of team rules and policy.

Drug Toxicity Cited in Douglas Death

Former University of Alabama offensive lineman Aaron Douglas died from “multiple drug toxicity” due to methadone, diazepam and carisoprodol according to a Florida medical examiner’s report.

Douglas, a Tennessee native, was found dead on May 12 on a second-floor balcony in Fernandina Beach, Florida.
