Alabama MBB reaches out to Cal State Fullerton transfer Latrell Wrightsell Jr.

Cal State Fullerton transfer Latrell Wrightsell Jr. has heard from the Alabama coaching staff. Wrightsell Jr. said that he has spoken with Alabama head coach Nate Oats.

Alabama is one of the many schools that have reached out to Cal State Fullerton transfer Latrell Wrightsell Jr. The Titans’ leading scorer has been a hot commodity in the transfer portal since entering less than a week ago.

Wrightsell Jr. is a native of Omaha, Nebraska. Coming out of high school, he chose Cal State Fullerton over other programs like South Dakota State, North Texas, and Bradley.

In three seasons with the Titans, Wrightsell Jr. has played a lot of meaningful minutes. He has 58 career starts in his college career. His best season likely came this past season as he led the Titans in scoring, assists, and steals.

Wrightsell Jr. averaged 16.3 points per game, 2.4 assists per game, and 1.5 steals per game. His willingness to be active on both ends of the floor is certainly something that stands out.

In an interview with 247Sports’ Brandon Jenkins, Wrightsell Jr, had this to say about the Crimson Tide:

“Nate Oats called me. His talking to me, letting me know what he had to offer, and how I would look in their system was pretty big. Our Zoom visit will be about me trying to get out there to see the facilities. That will be the next step moving forward. I really like what he had to say about how I could fit in and make an impact. They were number one in the country this year and they want to go deeper in March Madness.”

It sounds like Wrightsell Jr. will try to at least make a trip to Tuscaloosa before making his decision.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow news surrounding the Alabama basketball prorgam.
