Alabama Basketball: Nate Oat must get these two ‘bigs’

Alabama Basketball head coach, Nate Oats has been working on adding two big men since the surprise decision by Charles Bediako to remain in the NBA Draft. He could succeed this week and if he does the Crimson Tide will be close to set for the 2023-24 season.

Midweek, the most coveted college basketball transfer, Grant Nelson will be in Tuscaloosa. Nelson will visit Baylor beforehand and is scheduled to visit Arkansas after leaving Tuscaloosa. The 6’11” former North Dakota State player; Nelson is a perfect fit for Nate Oats’ system of play. At the ‘4’ spot, he would become the Crimson Tide’s most dynamic offensive threat as an excellent shooter, with the ability to put the ball on the floor and score inside and away from the basket.
