Former Alabama 4-Star Alex Tchikou transferring to Detroit Mercy

Former Alabama forward Alex Tchikou is transferring to Detroit Mercy. He spent last season at Rhode Island before re-entering the transfer portal this off-season.

Former Alabama forward Alex Tchikou is transferring from Rhode Island to Detroit Mercy. Tchikou spent last season with the Rams.

Tchikou committed to Alabama out of high school. The France native chose the Crimson Tide over other programs like Arizona, Florida State, and Oregon. He was regarded as a four-star coming out of Dream City Christian High School in Glendale, Arizona.

Prior to the start of his freshman season, Tchikou suffered a ruptured achilles causing him to miss the entire season.

As a reshirt-freshman, Tchikou played in just three games for the Crimson Tide.

Following the season, he entered the transfer portal and committed to Rhode Island. In one season with the Rams, Tchikou averaged 4.1 points per game and 3.5 rebounds per game.

Following his redshirt-sophomore season, he entered the transfer portal yet agin. He will be heading to the Horizon League to play for Detroit Mercy next season. With the Titans losing their all-time leading scorer in Antoine Davis, Tchikou could prove to be a key piece to the puzzle next season.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow the Alabama basketball program.

Former Alabama forward Alex Tchikou set to enter NCAA transfer portal for second time

Former Alabama and Rhode Island forward Alex Tchikou has entered the transfer portal. Thcikou will be looking to play for his third school.

Former Alabama forward Alex Tchikou entered the transfer portal on Wednesday afternoon.

At Alabama, Tchikou played in just three games. He was not used as a piece of the Crimson Tide’s rotation in 2021-2022. Soon after the season concluded, he entered his name into the transfer portal.

He ultimately decided to transfer to Rhode Island. In one season with the Rams, Tchikou averaged 4.1 points per game, 3.5 rebounds per game, and 0.3 assists per game. He also shot 48.1% from the floor.

There is a chance that Tchikou would have to sit out next season considering it will be his third school in three years. The NCAA recently granted athletes a one-time transfer rule that allows them to play immediately without sitting out a season. Given that, Tchikou was eligible to play immediately at Rhode Island. That will likely not be the case at his next school.

Several schools that recruited him heavily out of high school are Arizona and St. Mary’s. With limited production, Tchikou could wind up playing at a smaller program. It will be interesting to see which programs reach out to the France native.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow the Alabama basketball program as well as transfer portal news.

Alabama Morning Drive: Tide receives a pair of Sunday commitments

Nick Saban and Alabama certainly had a good weekend.

Good Monday morning, ladies and gentlemen! Welcome back to Alabama Morning Drive! I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend. And what a massive recruiting weekend it turned out to be for [autotag]Nick Saban[/autotag] and the Alabama Crimson Tide.

The good news started on Sunday afternoon when three-star athlete [autotag]Brayson Hubbard[/autotag] announced his commitment to Alabama. If that wasn’t enough good news for Tide fans, later Sunday evening, five-star defensive back Tony Mitchell also made his verbal pledge to the Crimson Tide.

Hubbard is a talented prospect who plays quarterback for his high school team but will most likely transition to the defensive side of the ball in college and play safety.

Mitchell is an all-world safety prospect who just a couple of weeks ago was receiving a lot of buzz in favor of SEC rival Texas A&M. It appears as if coach Saban and the rest of the staff in Tuscaloosa showed everything they needed to in order to secure Mitchell’s commitment.

Both announcements were made on Twitter.

Let’s take a look at a few other stories that Alabama fans need to be following this morning.

Former Alabama MBB F Alex Tchikou announces transfer destination

After spending one season with the Crimson Tide, Tchikous has announced where he will continue his collegiate basketball career.

Former Alabama men’s basketball forward Alex Tchikou recently announced his entrance to the NCAA transfer portal. Today, via his Twitter, Tchikou made his decision public. He will be continuing his collegiate basketball career at the University of Rhode Island.

Tchikou, a native of Paris, France, committed to the Crimson Tide as a four-star prospect in the 2021 recruiting class. He did not see the court much, only appearing in three games, but was likely a part of head coach Nate Oats’ future plans for the program.

The 6’11 forward kept the announcement short. He did not mention Oats or anything relating to the University of Alabama.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow Alabama basketball as the offseason continues.

Alabama forward Juwan Gary has entered the NCAA transfer portal

Another Alabama men’s basketball player has hit the NCAA transfer portal.

Alabama redshirt sophomore forward Juwan Gary has entered the NCAA transfer portal according to Matt Zenitz of On3. Gary is the fourth member of the Crimson Tide to enter the portal this offseason. Gary will be joining former teammates Jusaun Holt, Jaden Quinerly, Keon Ambrose-Hylton, and Alex Tchikou in the portal.

Gary came to Tuscaloosa as a four-star prospect and a top 100 player hailing from the state of South Carolina. Gary missed his entire freshman season with an ACL injury and would go on to mostly come off the bench for the Tide over his next two seasons in Tuscaloosa. Gary averaged 6.5 points per game this past season with the Tide.

Head coach Nate Oats has had quite the roster turnover this offseason as he looks to build his own brand of basketball at the Capstone.

Alabama basketball forward Alex Tchikou has entered the transfer portal

The 6-11 forward appeared in just two games this past season

Days after the Crimson Tide’s season ended in unfortunate fashion at the hands of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in the first round of the NCAA Tournament, it was dealt another blow when reserve forward Alex Tchikou entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal. The move was reported by Matt Zenitz via Twitter.

Tchikou will join Jahvon Quinerly, who announced the end of his college career the day after the loss to Notre Dame, and Jahvon’s brother Jaden Quinerly, as another impending departure from the Crimson Tide’s 2021-22 roster.

Tchikou, a 6-11, 200-pound power forward, arrived at the Capstone as a four-star recruit as part of the 2020 class and was ranked the eleventh best PF in the class, according to 247Sports’ composite ranking system.

He missed all but three games in the 2020-21 season with a ruptured Achilles tendon and recorded four rebounds in five total minutes on the floor.

He played in just two games during the 2021-22 season and recorded four rebounds in four total minutes played. His last appearance came in the blowout victory over the Miami Hurricanes on Nov. 28, where he tallied three rebounds in just a single minute on the court.
