Alabama landed a commitment from 2024 small forward Naas Cunningham on Tuesday afternoon. Cunningham chose the Crimson Tide over other programs like Duke, Kansas, Memphis, Rutgers, and UCLA.
The New Jersey native currently plays for SoCal Academy in Castaic, California. Previously, he played for Gill St. Bernard’s High School and Overtime Elite.
Cunningham took an official visit to Tuscaloosa over the weekend. It was Cunningham’s first trip to Tuscaloosa. The only other school that Cunningham took an official visit to was West Virginia.
At 6-foot-7, 180 pounds, Cunningham will likely play multiple positions in Alabama’s system. Alabama head coach Nate Oats and the rest of the coaching staff strive to recruit “positionless” basketball players. That certainly fits the profile for Cunningham.
Cunningham is the second ’24 prospect to commit to the Crimson Tide. The other is five-star big man Aiden Sherrell.
