Days after the Crimson Tide’s season ended in unfortunate fashion at the hands of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, it was dealt another blow when reserve forward Alex Tchikou entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal. The move was reported by Matt Zenitz via Twitter.
Tchikou will join Jahvon Quinerly, who announced the end of his college career the day after the loss to Notre Dame, and Jahvon’s brother Jaden Quinerly, as another impending departure from the Crimson Tide’s 2021-22 roster.
Tchikou, a 6-11, 200-pound power forward, arrived at the Capstone as a four-star recruit as part of the 2020 class and was ranked the eleventh best PF in the class, according to 247Sports’ composite ranking system.
He missed all but three games in the 2020-21 season with a ruptured Achilles tendon and recorded four rebounds in five total minutes on the floor.
He played in just two games during the 2021-22 season and recorded four rebounds in four total minutes played. His last appearance came in the blowout victory over the Miami Hurricanes on Nov. 28, where he tallied three rebounds in just a single minute on the court.
