As of late, the Alabama basketball program has been on a tear when it comes to its 2020 recruiting class.
Within the last two weeks, the Crimson Tide have added three commitments, including five-star guard Josh Primo, four-star guard Keon Ellis and three-star forward Darius Miller.
Now, head coach Nate Oats and company have their sights set on Yale graduate transfer Jordan Bruner, who has already narrowed down his list to three schools: Baylor, Maryland and, of course, Alabama.
In addition, the 6-foot-9 versatile forward from Columbia (S.C.) told Tyler DeLuca that he would be making his announcement on Friday at 3:00 p.m. ET (2:00 p.m. CT).
Yale graduate transfer Jordan Bruner just informed me that his decision will come at 3 p.m. tomorrow

As of right now, it looks like Baylor and Alabama are in the lead, but anything can happen between now and Bruner’s announcement time tomorrow.
Bruner averaged an impressive 10.9 points and 9.2 rebounds for Yale last season while also averaging 3.8 assists and 1.7 blocks.
That versatility, in addition to being able to run the floor, finish at the rim and be effective beyond the three-point arc, would make Bruner a valuable and dangerous addition to an already impressive roster in Tuscaloosa.
The Crimson Tide will also have other new key additions to its 2020 on-court rotation in Jahvon Quinerly, Juwan Gary and James Rojas, making this team a strong candidate to make a push for a NCAA Tournament bid — and beyond.
