Every Alabama basketball player participated in the Crimson Tide's first preseason practice Friday afternoon, including five-star freshman point guard Collin Sexton.

Sexton's status has been publicly questioned since basketball administrator Kobie Baker's resignation on Wednesday.

According to an FBI complaint that was released Tuesday, someone referred to as "Staff Member 1," whom Alabama later found out was Baker, took money from a financial advisor in return for trying to help push players toward signing with that financial advisor. He was also part of a dinner with a player's father, that agent and Rashan Michel, who was arrested Tuesday.

While the player's father wasn't named, he was identified as being the father of a highly-ranked incoming player at Staff Member 1's school and the dinner took place in Atlanta on or around Aug. 31. Sexton is from the Atlanta area.

Tide athletic director Greg Byrne said in a statement Wednesday night that Alabama, which conducted an internal investigation, is not aware of any NCAA or SEC rules being violated.
