Alabama Basketball and Nate Oats hit it ‘big’ on Monday, with Grant Nelson deciding to join the Alabama Crimson Tide for the 2023-24 season. Many college basketball experts consider Nelson to be the top available player in the Transfer Portal.
Note: Multiple credible sources have stated Nelson is “expected” to join Alabama, but as of 4:45 PM CST on Monday, there had been no official announcement.
It came down to the Crimson Tide and the Arkansas Razorbacks for the 6’11”, stretch-4. Nelson is not a traditional center, but will also be able to fill in at this point if needed.
