| MBB/WBB 🏀2024-25 Alabama Basketball Roster Updates (Rutgers transfer Clifford Omoruyi, one of the top big men in the portal, has committed to Alabama)

We had a similar thread last year, and like it, I will update this one with the movement as it happens and next season's roster takes shape. Obviously, all the players in red that are set to return, won't. And others will be added via the portal. But I'll keep this updated and keep track of it as it all unfolds. As always, let me know of any errors/mistakes.

Also, keep in mind, there are 13 scholarship spots available per season. As of now, Alabama is +2 (15 scholarshipped players), which means at a minimum, 2 of the following will not return.


Current 2024/25 roster outlook as of now:
G Mark Sears (5th year Senior)
G Latrell Wrightsell Jr. (5th year Senior)
G Davin Cosby Jr. (Sophomore)
G Houston Mallette (Senior)

The tweet below sums it up pretty well… and having Nelson and Omoruyi on the floor at the same time (with Nelson playing his more natural position) should really pay off in a number of ways. And I’ll stick with the prediction from weeks ago that the defensive efficiency numbers will be top 10 again to continue the year by year seesaw trend.

All four players are 6-foot-11.

Blake missed the lede there. "All four players are 6'11", and can run."

I was trying to make that point the other day. It's not about size.

The point he was posting like this, when he was on the visit in Chapel Hill? Ball and Oats almost fits. That was 'balls.'

Nice additions in the portal for us!

I’m not real sure why this is back in the news since it was already a news item several weeks ago, but it is all over my Twitter feed. I guess maybe there’s a few more details on the future of it… Anyway, it’s a good deal for Bama…

Just my opinion...

People don't like change. And, when people see a school like Kansas lose a recruit, or a school like UNC with their "blue blood" reputation lose to a school ...

Then you add this type of tourney in the mix? 300+ schools are looking up, with jealousy.
