BREAKING: Alabama basketball lands 5-star CG Joshua Primo

Alabama basketball landed a huge commitment on Friday with five-star combo guard Joshua Primo out of Ohio.

Alabama basketball got a huge commitment on Friday morning, as Joshua Primo announced that he would be joining the Crimson Tide’s 2020 recruiting class.

The news was announced by several media outlets, but the five-star combo guard from Royal Crown High School in Toronto (Ohio.) made it official on his own Twitter account:

This is a major addition for head coach Nate Oats and the rest of the Alabama basketball program, as it was announced earlier in the week that starting guards Kira Lewis Jr. and John Petty would be entering their names into the 2020 NBA Draft.

According to the 247Sports composite rankings, Primo is a four-star prospect and rated as the No. 47 overall player, the No. 8 combo guard and No. 1 player from the state of Ohio.

The rankings for 247Sports specifically, however, rated the 6-foot-6, 180-pound shooter as a five-star while ranking him No. 27 overall and the No. 7 combo guard.

Primo is officially the Crimson Tide’s second commitment for the 2020 class after reclassifying from 2021. He is joined by four-star power forward Keon Ambrose-Hylton, who is the No. 115 overall player.
