The Alabama coaching staff hit the road over the weekend to check out some recruits that are playing for circuit teams across the country. One player that caught the eye of the coaching staff was 2025 small forward Joson Sanon. The Massachusetts native received an offer from the Tide on Monday,
Sanon plays for Vermont Academy in Saxtons River, Vermont. He is ranked as the top prospect in the state by all recruiting ricuits. At 6-foot-5, 180 pounds, Sanon can play either the two or three spot on the floor.
When speaking with On3’s Jamie Shaw, Sanon had this to say:
“Loyalty will be big for me,” Sanon said. “I also want to go to a good program, one that wins. I’d like to play in a system that has a lot of space on the floor. Maybe one big in the paint, like four around one. Two bigs are ok too, but I just want to play with a lot of spacing.”
His preferred style of play sounds similar to what Alabama head coach Nate Oats runs. Oats prefers to play 4-out and 1-in. Meaning, he prefers to use two guards and two wings along with a big man to protrol the pain and set screens if needed. That sounds like something that Oats and the coaching staff could employ to get Sanon more intrigued with Alabama. The level of spacing will always be there in Oats’ offenses.
