Alabama Basketball got a new player on Thursday. Former McDonald’s All-American, Nimari Burnett is joining the Alabama Crimson Tide.

Burnett was hotly pursued by the Crimson Tide coming out of high school. In the 2020 class, Burnett was ranked No. 34 in the 247Sports Composite. He was rated the No. 6 combo guard in the class and while a 4-Star in the Composite list, he was rated a 5-Star by others. Among a host of offers from top programs, Burnett was landed by Chris Beard at Texas Tech.
