Jeff Garrett from Oldsmar, Fla., announced his commitment to play for the Alabama men’s basketball team Sunday.

“Next year I will be going to university of Alabama,” he wrote on his Twitter.

His high school team Oldsmar Christian School’s Twitter confirmed his commitment.
Garrett is a 6-foot-7, 210-pound small forward. 247 Sports ranks him as a three-star athlete and the No. 28 prospect in Florida.

He had offers from South Alabama, Murray State, College of Charleston and Duquesne. He’s a late pickup for the loss two players, Algie Key and Carl Engstrom, who left the program at the end of the season.

Coach Anthony Grant planned to fill out his roster through recruiting, so he’s looking for one more.

Garrett joins point guard Justin Coleman, guard Devin Mitchell and forward Riley Norris in the recruiting class for the coming season.

I used to be critical of signing kids whose high school ball was at small, private schools. Then Wimp signed Jim Farmer, and that certainly worked out well for us. My thought is that he will not see a lot of action as a freshman.
