Where Alabama's transfer portal class ranks following Jalil Bethea commitment
Across the entire landscape of college basketball, there are few programs nationally who have seen more success in the transfer portal up to this point in the offseason than the Alabama Crimson Tide.
As of Monday, April 7, Alabama has already added a total of three players via the transfer portal, each of which are set to make immediate impacts with the Crimson Tide next season. As to what those impacts could be, it certainly feels likely that each will play significant minutes, with one-to-two potentially even projecting as starters.
Following the latest commitment Sunday of Jalil Bethea as well, just where does Alabama's transfer portal class rank at the moment among all of college basketball?
According to the 247Sports Transfer Portal Team Rankings, Alabama's class currently ranks at the No. 8 nationally with three commitments, as well as third in the SEC. In the conference, Alabama trails only LSU and Ole Miss, with the Tigers holding five transfer portal commitments.
In terms of where Alabama's commits currently rank, Bethea is the highest-ranking member of the Crimson Tide's transfer portal class, sitting at No. 37 overall according to 247Sports at the time of writing. Taylor Bol Bowen, who transferred from Florida State, sits at No. 81 overall nationally, while Noah Williamson, a transfer from Bucknell, is the No. 126 player in the portal.
Will the Crimson Tide continue to add through the transfer portal going forward to this already strong trio? Time will only tell.
