Alabama went 31-6, won the SEC regular-season and tournament titles and reached the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA tournament in 2022-23, but will largely have to rebuild its roster. Standouts Brandon Miller, Noah Clowney and Charles Bediako entered the NBA draft, while key contributors Jahvon Quinerly, Jaden Bradley and Nimari Burnett all left via the transfer portal.
The Crimson Tide signed four 4- or 5-star recruits for its 2023 recruiting class: forwards Sam Walters, Mouhamed Dioubate, Jarin Stevenson (who reclassified from 2024) and Kris Parker. Alabama also added guard transfers Latrell Wrightsell (Cal State-Fullerton) and Aaron Estrada (Hofstra) for next season and could to add North Dakota State forward transfer Grant Nelson in the coming days or weeks.
SEC basketball play begins Jan. 6 and runs through March 9. The SEC Tournament is March 13-17 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn.
