The Alabama Crimson Tide men’s basketball program is coming off of its best season in program history. That success has trickled down and assisted Alabama in potentially landing some of the top high school prospects in the country. On Monday, 2025 four-star power forward Matthew Gilhool listed Alabama as a finalist to land his commitment.
Gilhool plays for William Penn Charter School in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is listed at 6-foot-10 and 205 pounds. When speaking with On3’s Jamie Shaw, Gilhool had the following to say about his style of play:
““I try to play a versatile forward role,” Gilhool told On3. “I rebound, block shots, and can make shots. I’ve been playing with a lot of confidence this summer. I’m playing with coaches who believe in me, and that goes a long way.”
Thus far, Gilhool has scheduled official visits to Georgia Tech and LSU. At this time, he does not have an official visit scheduled to Alabama. It will be interesting to see if the Alabama coaching staff can get Gilhool on campus before he announces his commitment.
