Which 2026 recruits have offers from Alabama basketball? Who's the tallest? Who's in backyard?

Only a couple months removed from March Madness, Alabama basketball has spent the offseason building its roster for the runs that lie ahead. Per 247Sports' database, 30 uncommitted prospects from the 2026 recruiting class have been offered by Alabama coach Nate Oats and staff. By state, Georgia leads the way with five recruits, followed by four from California and three each from Florida, Ohio and Maryland. Advertisement So far, forward Gage Mayfield, who is coming up on his senior year at Hale County — the home of Crimson Tide hoops alum Herb Jones — is the lone player to represent the state of Alabama among potential signees to UA's 2026-27 roster. By the looks of it, length continues to be the most sought-after physical attribute for Oats and recruiting mastermind Preston Murphy. The tallest 2026 players with Alabama offers are 7-footer Sinan Juan of Georgetown Preparatory School (Md.) and 7-1 Favour Ibe of Mt. Zion Prep (Md.). Nineteen total players offered by the Crimson Tide stand at 6-6 and over, including five between 6-10 and 6-11. Alabama's 2025 signees include Amari Allen, London Jemison and Davion Hannah. The trio make up the 15th ranked incoming recruiting class in the country. Here's a look at the complete list of uncommitted 2026 recruits who have a shot at suiting up for the Crimson Tide.
