*** Roster spots currently available: 2 ***

Declared for NBA Draft

Labaron Philon

– Alabama’s star freshman guard displayed more than enough throughout the season to warrant a look from the pros. He was one of the biggest surprises of the season, averaging 10.6 points and 3.8 assists while showcasing impressive defensive instincts. He declared for the draft on April 14, and while he made no indications that he’d be maintaining his college eligibility, BOL has learned that he’s still leaving the option open for a return to school. The deadline to withdraw from the draft is May 28.

Returning

Aden Holloway

– Holloway transferred in from Auburn after a difficult freshman season, and saw all of his production take a major jump as a sophomore. He averaged 11.4 points as Alabama’s sixth man off the bench and was the team’s best 3-point shooter at 41%. Entering his junior year, he has the chance to compete for an even larger role, including a run at a starting spot. He was announced by Alabama’s NIL collective to be returning on April 5.

Aiden Sherrell

– Sherrell served as Omoruyi’s backup during his freshman season, and showed notable flashes of potential constantly. He posted very solid offensive (13.2%) and defensive (19.3%) rebounding rates in his limited minutes and showcased his ability to be utilized as a stretch-5, shooting 33% from deep. With Omoruyi now graduated, Sherrell will be able to fully step in as the team’s center of the future. He was announced by Alabama’s NIL collective to be returning on April 5.

Latrell Wrightsell Jr.

– Wrightsell was slated to be one of the biggest pieces on this team as a returning 5th-year senior, before an Achilles tear 10 games into the year cut his season short. Before his injury, he was looking like one of the best shooters in the country at 42% on 4.5 attempts per game. He was announced by Alabama’s NIL collective to be returning on April 5, and he’ll be an incredibly impactful addition back into the fold with his shooting ability.

Houston Mallette

– Perhaps no one on the roster had a more roller coaster year than Mallette. After transferring in from Pepperdine, it was originally announced that he’d redshirt the entire season. He briefly came off the redshirt to play in six games late in non-conference play, making 50% of his threes in that span, but had complications with a prior knee injury that shut him down for the year. He was announced by Alabama’s NIL collective to be returning on April 5, adding another big-time shooter to the roster.

Incoming Transfers

Noah Williamson

– Bucknell transfer Noah Williamson provides the Crimson Tide with some excellent size (7-feet, 250 pounds) in the frontcourt. He was the Patriot League player of the year this past season averaging 17.6 points and 7.6 rebounds per game while shooting over 53 percent from the field. His 3-point percentage is intriguing at 31.8 percent, far from elite but still respectable for his position. He will spend his final year of eligibility in Tuscaloosa.

Taylor Bol Bowen

– Florida State transfer Taylor Bol Bowen gives the Crimson Tide an excellent option as a “stretch four” with his ability to shoot the ball as a 6-foot-10 forward. He shot 2.5 threes per game this past season, and made them at a notable 41% clip. He has an incredibly long and rangy wingspan and excellent defensive tools both on the perimeter and as a weakside shot blocker, posting a 7.1% block rate this past season for the Seminoles. He’s a versatile piece that has two years of eligibility remaining.

Jalil Bethea

– Miami transfer Jalil Bethea gives Alabama a much-needed big guard to add to its backcourt. He has great size at 6-foot-5 and notable pedigree as a prospect, coming out of high school as a McDonald’s All-American and the No. 6 overall player in his class. He struggled his freshman year at Miami, averaging just 7.1 points on below average shooting splits, not getting any help from the Hurricane’s head coach leaving just over a month into Bethea’s college career. He’ll look to get right in a new situation, similar to Holloway a year ago. He’ll have three years of eligibility in Tuscaloosa.

Keitenn Bristow

– Tarleton State transfer Keitenn Bristow is a 6-foot-8 forward that was named the WAC Freshman of the Year last season while averaging 11.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. He’s got nice upside with his size and skillset, and projects to be a developmental depth piece in the frontcourt after losing multiple frontcourt players to the transfer portal. He has three years of eligibility remaining.

Departing Transfers

Naas Cunningham

– Cunningham was the lowest-rated member of Alabama’s last recruiting class and redshirted this past season to add more weight. He’s an intriguing prospect with good positional size at 6-foot-7 and impressive shotmaking ability, but weighing 175 pounds made him not quite ready to play in the SEC. He committed to UNLV on April 23, where he’ll still have all four years of eligibility.

Mo Dioubate

– Dioubate stepped into a much larger role in his second year in Tuscaloosa, doubling his minutes per game from 7.7 to 16.0. He proved to be one of the most impactful players on the team with his blue-collar playstyle, being one of the team’s best defenders and rebounders. He showed significant improvement on the offensive end, and made 46% of his threes on very low volume. Dioubate committed to Kentucky on April 7 and will have two years of eligibility left.

Jarin Stevenson

– Stevenson had an up-and-down sophomore season, struggling with inconsistencies but still showing flashes of potential that make him such an intriguing long-term player. He ended the year averaging 5.4 points and 3.4 rebounds. He shot 30.7% from three, but shot 36% after an 0-for-18 start. He’s still incredibly young, not turning 20 years old until just before the start of next season, further emphasizing his room for growth. Stevenson committed to North Carolina on April 13, going back to his hometown of Chapel Hill, where he’ll have two years of eligibility remaining.

Derrion Reid

– It was a frustrating season for Reid, who came in as a McDonald’s All-American and had a strong start to the year before it was derailed by injuries. He was forced to miss 12 games over a 15-game stretch throughout the middle of conference play, which caused him to lose his regular spot in the rotation. He’s still got very high potential, with excellent defensive instincts and incredible athleticism. The next step in his development will be his outside shot. He entered the transfer portal on April 12 and will have three years of eligibility remaining.

Incoming High School Recruits

London Jemison

– Jemison was the highest-ranked of Alabama’s three high school signees, coming in at No. 36 overall. He’s got good size at 6-foot-9, 200 pounds, and has valuable versatility with his athleticism. He’s become a very strong shooter over his senior season of high school, which is why he’s been one of the biggest risers in the class. Depending on how Alabama’s frontcourt shakes out, he could have a chance to earn some minutes as a freshman.

Davion Hannah

– Hannah is a bigger guard at 6-foot-4, ranking as the No. 43 overall player in the 2025 class. He’s a very talented scorer at multiple levels, possessing nice athleticism and burst to finish at the rim and a pretty good shooting touch. Alabama typically has a loaded backcourt, so it’s difficult to project what kind of role he could play in year one.

Amari Allen

– Allen has been on a tear throughout his senior year, averaging over 34 points per game and being named the Gatorade Player of the Year in the state of Wisconsin. His scoring ability from all levels is notable, but similar to Cunningham, he may need to put on more weight to be competitive at the high-major level. The 6-foot-7, 180-pound wing was rated as the No. 72 overall prospect in his class.

Exhausted Eligibility

Mark Sears

– Sears’ historic Alabama career comes to a close after spending three years in Tuscaloosa. The Muscle Shoals, Ala. native transferred in from Ohio after his sophomore year and became one of the most decorated players in program history. He earned All-SEC honors three times, All-American honors twice, became the school’s first-ever unanimous first team All-American, and led the program to its first-ever Final Four in 2024. He leaves as one of Alabama basketball’s all-time greats.

Grant Nelson

– Nelson spent two years with the Crimson Tide after spending the first three years of his career at North Dakota State. He was a staple in the lineup for two deep March runs, including the 2024 Final Four and the 2025 Elite Eight, and created a multitude of highlight-worthy moments that Alabama fans will remember for a long time.

Cliff Omoruyi

– Omoruyi came to Alabama as a grad transfer after spending four years at Rutgers prior to his arrival. He served as the Crimson Tide’s starting center all season, averaging 7.9 points and 6.5 rebounds on the year. He came alive late in the season and in the NCAA Tournament, becoming a monster lob threat and finding his role in the offense at the perfect time to aid the Tide in a deep March run.

Chris Youngblood

– The last of Alabama’s seniors, Youngblood came in as a grad transfer after spending the first three years of his career at Kennesaw State and the fourth at South Florida. He missed the first month-and-a-half of the year with an ankle injury he suffered in the preseason, but made his recovery and proved to be an incredibly effective player. He found his way into Alabama’s starting lineup by midseason, and averaged 10.3 points while shooting 39% from beyond the arc in his final year.

Outgoing Coaches

Ryan Pannone

– Pannone agreed to become the head coach at Arkansas State, replacing another former Alabama assistant after Bryan Hodgson took the USF job. Including Pannone, Nate Oats now has five former assistants that are active D-1 head coaches.
