Top-100 basketball prospect Kris Parker commits to Alabama
The Alabama Crimson Tide’s men’s basketball program just won the SEC regular season title this week, and received even more good news on Friday.
Moments ago, Quincy (Fla.) Crossroad Academy recruit Kris Parker announced his commitment to Alabama. Parker committed to the Crimson Tide over a final schools list that featured nearby UCF, Missouri, and the Villanova Wildcats.
“Nate Oats has really changed the perspective of Alabama being a football school,” Parker told On3’s Joe Tipton earlier this week. “They’re now in the conversation of the best teams in college basketball.”
During his recruitment, Parker took official visits to Bama (9/17), UCF (9/24), and Villanova (11/12). He originally set up a commitment date for Dec. 12, but opted to push it back and take an additional three months to make his decision.
Up until today, Bama had signed Davin Cosby, Mouhamed Dioubate, Sam Walters, and in-state guard RJ Johnson in the cycle. Parker is the fourth four-star to join the group, with Cosby already enrolled and on campus.
Per the 2023 On3 Industry Rankings, Parker is the No. 87 overall player in this recruiting cycle. He also checks in as the No. 16 shooting guard and is the eighth-ranked junior in the Sunshine State.

On3 Scouting Report on Kris Parker
Kris Parker Scouting Report from On3’s Jamie Shaw:
“Kris Parker is a long and rangy wing. He has confidence on the ball in the half-court, and his ability as a shotmaker continues to rise. He will need to continue adding strength and overall sharpening his tools and shot selection. There is a lot of natural talent here. There is an upside still to go, and the intrigue lies with the fact he continues to get a little better each time out.”
