Alabama officially announces 2025 basketball signing class

Meet the members of Alabama basketball’s 2025 signing class.

The Alabama Crimson Tide’s 2025 basketball signing class is now official, as the program officially announced the signings of three high school prospects Monday afternoon.

In all, Alabama’s 2025 class currently ranks at No. 10 in the 247Sports Team Rankings, and even despite the team having already announced these three, it does not mean that the Crimson Tide are done however. Yes, Alabama is still in the mix for multiple prospects across the country, which includes the No. 1 overall player nationally, AJ Dybantsa.

When it comes to Alabama’s current class however, it’s clear as to why the Crimson Tide have one of the nation’s top groups this cycle. However, just who is in that group?

Let’s take a look at the three members of Alabama basketball’s 2025 signing class:

Davion Hannah, Shooting Guard

The highest-ranked member of Alabama’s 2025 class is a recent commitment in Hannah, who is a highly-rated four-star prospect that ranks as the nation’s No. 33 overall player according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. One who would potentially be a five-star by the time he steps foot on campus, the four-star is also considered the nation’s No. 7 shooting guard, as well as the No. 2 player in the state of Missouri where he attends national power Link Academy.

London Jemison, Power Forward

Jemison is also a highly-rated four-star prospect that could potentially end up flirting with five-star status when all is said and done, currently ranking No. 38 nationally. The four-star, who had been committed to Alabama since September of 2024, also ranks as the nation’s No. 9 power forward, as well as the top player in the state of Connecticut where he attends St. Thomas More High School.

Amari Allen, Small Forward

The final signing in the Crimson Tide’s 2025 class is Allen, who is an also a four-star prospect, ranking No. 96 nationally. Committed to Alabama since September of 2024, Allen is also considered the No. 21 small forward in the class, as well as the No. 4 player in the state of Wisconsin where he attends Ashwaubenon High School.

Alabama basketball lands commitment from four-star SG Davion Hannah

Alabama adds third four-star recruit to No. 7 ranked recruiting class.

Nate Oats and the Alabama Crimson Tide have been red hot on the recruiting trail in the past few years, and it appears as if the 2025 class will be no different. On Friday, the Crimson Tide landed their third four-star commitment in the class from SG Davion Hannah to join PF London Jemison and SF Amari Allen. It brings Alabama’s recruiting class up to No. 7 in the nation.

Hannah, a Milwaukee, WI native who plays for the Link Academy in Branson, MO, narrowed his final four down to Alabama, Cincinnati, Missouri, and Ohio State before ultimately deciding to go to Tuscaloosa. The Alabama commit is ranked as the No. 22 player in the class and as one of the top five combo guards.

When asked about his decision to team up with Oats, Hannah said,

“I love their culture. I want to be a part of what they do and how they do it. They win consistently, and they are coming off a Final Four. Coach Oats prepares his players for the NBA. Everything they do translates.”

With Alabama still squarely in the mix for No. 1 overall recruit AJ Dybansta, Oats could be building the greatest Crimson Tide recruiting class of all time.

Alabama included in finalists for highly-rated four-star prospect

The highly-rated four-star includes Alabama in finalists.

Over the weekend, the Alabama Crimson Tide football program was not the only team in Tuscaloosa to make news with their 34-0 victory over Missouri, but basketball also had a notable thing happen.

That is because the Crimson Tide were included in the final four finalists for one of the nation’s premier uncommitted prospects in Davion Hannah, who announced his list Friday afternoon. Alongside the Crimson Tide, Alabama was also joined by the Cincinnati Bearcats, Missouri Tigers, and Ohio State Buckeyes.

Hannah currently ranks as the nation’s No. 31 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, and is a highly-rated four-star who could end up being a five-star by the time he steps on campus. The four-star also ranks as the No. 7 shooting guard nationally, as well as the No. 2 player in the state of Missouri where he attends national power Link Academy.

Alabama’s 2025 recruiting class currently ranks No. 16 nationally for the cycle, holding two commitments from a pair of four-star small forwards, London Jemison and Amari Allen.

Alabama to host three Top 100 recruits this weekend

This weekend in Tuscaloosa is shaping up to be a loaded one on the recruiting front.

According to a report from On3’s Joe Tipton, the Alabama Crimson Tide will be hosting three Top 100 basketball recruits for an official visit this weekend in Tuscaloosa in the trio of Davion Hannah, Jaden Toombs, and Amari Allen.

The highest-rated of the group, Hannah is considered as a highly-rated four-star combo guard in the 2025 class, ranking as the nation’s No. 26 prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. Hannah is also one of the top combo guards in the class, ranking No. 4 nationally, as well as the No. 2 player in the state of Missouri where he attends Link Academy.

Toombs, who included Alabama in his top five just last month, ranks as the nation’s No. 46 overall player, as well as the No. 6 center in the class. A four-star prospect, Toombs also ranks as the No. 5 player in the state of Texas in which he attends Dynamic Prep.

Lastly, Allen ranks as the nation’s No. 98 overall player out of Ashwaubenon High School in Wisconsin where he is the state’s No. 4 prospect. The four-star is also considered as the No. 18 small forward in the class.

With this talented trio of 2025 prospects set to be on campus this Saturday, it only adds to what is shaping up to be a loaded weekend in Tuscaloosa.

Ohio State basketball is a finalist for elite Wisconsin 2026 combo guard

Ohio State basketball added a commitment from in-state 2025 shooting guard, Dorian Jones, earlier this month, snapping its drought in the cycle.

However, head coach Jake Diebler isn’t done trying to add prospects as Wisconsin combo guard, [autotag]Davion Hannah[/autotag], is one of his top targets. The 6-foot, 5-inch, 175-pound player narrowed down his list to nine schools, with eight of them getting an upcoming official visit.

The nation’s No. 29 overall prospect according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings will visit Columbus on September 20, when the football team faces off against Marshall. One of Diebler’s goals was to host as many visits during football games as he can, and the timing of Hannah’s trip fulfills that.

It’s going to be a difficult recruitment for the Buckeyes to win, but being in this position gives them a fighting chance to win over Hannah.

Wisconsin basketball cracks top nine schools for top class of 2025 target

Wisconsin basketball cracks top nine schools for top class of 2025 target

Wisconsin basketball cracked the top nine schools for top class of 2025 shooting guard Davion Hannah on Monday.

Alabama, North Carolina State, Pittsburgh, Xavier, Cincinnati, Michigan State, Louisville and Ohio State round out the rest of his list.

Hannah’s top nine arrives eight days after he released his official visit schedule for this fall. Hannah will venture to Madison, Wisconsin for an official visit the weekend of Sept. 14 — the same date as fellow top target Amari Allen.

The rising senior will also take trips to Alabama, Louisville, Ohio State, Michigan State, NC State, Cincinnati and Pittsburgh this fall. Wake Forest was originally on his slate.

Before transferring to Branson, Missouri’s Link Academy for his final year of high school, Hannah was ranked as the No. 1 overall recruit from Wisconsin while he attended Nicolet High School.

247Sports now has Hannah as the No. 3 overall recruit from Missouri, No. 4 combo guard in the class of 2025 and the No. 29 overall player in the class. The 6-foot-5, 175-pound combo guard remains a four-star recruit across all major recruiting platforms.

Wisconsin’s class of 2025 currently ranks No. 7 in the nation with commitments from in-state shooting guard Zach Kinziger and in-state center Will Garlock. Both are three-star prospects.

Hannah would be a defining addition to the class if Greg Gard and his staff are able to pull off a substantial recruiting victory.

Wisconsin basketball set for critical recruiting weekend when Badger football hosts Alabama

Wisconsin football’s game vs. Alabama means more than just a win or loss in the standings:

Wisconsin basketball is lining up a substantial weekend of official visits for Sept. 14 — the same weekend that Badger football hosts top-ranked Alabama.

Greg Gard’s program already has visits with top-ranked recruits Davion Hannah, Amari Allen and Tommy Ahneman scheduled for that weekend.

Hannah, first, is the No. 29 overall player in the class of 2025, No. 4 combo guard and the No. 3 recruit from the state of Missouri. He is originally a Wisconsin native, though recently transferred to Link Academy in Branson, Missouri for his senior high school season. The 6’5″ guard is quickly ascending toward being one of the best players in the entire cycle.

Allen, next, is ranked as the No. 100 player in the class, No. 18 small forward and the No. 13 recruit from the state of Florida. Like Hannah, Allen is technically an in-state prospect who transferred elsewhere for his final high school season. In his case, that is IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida.

Wisconsin’s chances at landing either of the top recruits dropped with their respective decisions to transfer to national basketball powers. But they remain in-state prospects with whom the Badgers figure to have longstanding relationships with.

Ahneman, finally, is the No. 87 player in the class of 2025, No. 12 center and No. 1 recruit from the state of Minnesota. Wisconsin is one of the four programs with an official visit scheduled, along with Minnesota, Notre Dame and Nebraska.

Gard and his staff are clearly banking on an impressive showing from the Badger football program when Alabama visits Camp Randall. It will have the three top-100 recruits on campus at the same time, looking to make a strong impression before their respective college recruitments hit the national stage.

 

Wisconsin’s class of 2025 currently ranks No. 7 in the nation with commitments from two in-state standouts: four-star SG Zach Kinziger and three-star C Will Garlock.

A commitment from any of the three big-time visitors from the Sept. 14 weekend would cement the program’s class among the best in the nation — and provide another vote of confidence in Gard as a recruiter.

Wisconsin basketball lands official visit with top-30 class of 2025 SG

Wisconsin basketball one of five with official visit schedule with top-30 class of 2025 SG

Wisconsin basketball has secured an official visit with top-ranked class of 2025 shooting guard Davion Hannah, according to 247Sports’ Brandon Jenkins. 

Hannah will also take official visits to Alabama, Louisville, Ohio State and Wake Forest this fall. He will visit Wisconsin the weekend of Sept. 14 — the same date as four-star SF Amari Allen.

The news arrives a few weeks following the four-star’s decision to transfer to Link Academy in Branson, Missouri for his senior season of high school basketball. He remains the Badgers’ top class of 2025 target despite that move.

After being ranked as the No. 1 overall recruit from Wisconsin while he attended Nicolet High School, 247Sports now ranks Hannah as the No. 3 overall recruit from Missouri, No. 4 combo guard in the class of 2025 and the No. 29 overall player in the class. The 6-foot-5, 175-pound combo guard is still a four-star recruit across 247Sports, On3, Rivals and ESPN.

Hannah has earned 17 offers thus far, including from Alabama, Iowa, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Creighton, Oregon, Marquette, Michigan State and Ohio State. The list will surely balloon once his senior season at Link Academy begins.

As of June 14, Wisconsin’s class of 2025 ranks No. 7 in the nation with commitments from in-state shooting guard Zach Kinziger and in-state center Will Garlock.

Like Allen, another athlete with in-state ties to the state, Hannah’s connection to Wisconsin could potentially impact his collegiate decision. If Duke, Kentucky, UConn, or Kansas become involved, however, the chances for UW to land a blue-chip prospect will become relatively slim.

Still, the news revolving around his official visit is no laughing matter. With Alabama scheduled to play at Camp Randall on Sept. 14, Wisconsin will certainly prepare an excellent itinerary for the talented rising senior.

Top 40, 4-star CG Davion Hannah schedules official visit to MSU

One of the top players in the 2025 class has reportedly scheduled an official visit to Michigan State for September

One of the top players in the 2025 class has reportedly scheduled an official visit to Michigan State for September.

Four-star combo guard David Hannah will reportedly take an official visit to Michigan State on September 27. Brandon Jenkins of 247Sports reported the notable recruiting news.

Hannah ranks as the No. 4 combo guard and No. 29 overall prospect in 247Sports’ composite rankings for the 2025 class. He’s also listed as the No. 3 player from Missouri in the class.

Hannah also has official visits lined up with Alabama, Louisville, Wisconsin, Ohio State and Wake Forest. He holds offers from all five of those schools along with the Spartans.

Wisconsin top in-state 2025 target Davion Hannah transferring to Link Academy for senior season

Wisconsin top in-state 2025 target Davion Hannah transferring to Link Academy

Wisconsin basketball’s top in-state class of 2025 target, Davion Hannah, is transferring to Link Academy in Branson, Missouri, for his senior season of high school basketball, according to 247Sports’ Evan Flood.

Hannah is not only Wisconsin’s top target in the class of 2025, but also one of the top players in the country. He’s ranked by 247Sports as the No. 27 player in the class, No. 4 combo guard and No. 1 recruit in the state of Wisconsin.

His transfer to Link Academy — a growing national brand in high school athletics — decreases the likelihood of a potential commitment to Wisconsin.

The four-star guard already has offers from top programs Alabama, Iowa, Louisville, Marquette, Michigan State and Ohio State. That list is sure to explode once his senior season begins. History has shown that once the blue bloods, including Duke and Kentucky get involved, Wisconsin has a low chance of landing a commitment.

The 6-foot, 5-inch guard averaged 19.2 points per game for Nicolet High School last season as his recruiting profile began to grow.

Recent Link Academy men’s basketball graduates include class of 2024 five-star point guard Tre Johnson (committed to Texas), four-star point guard Labaron Philon (Alabama), four-star guard T.O. Barrett (Missouri), four-star small forward Jalen Shelley (USC) and four-star center James Brown (North Carolina). Hannah will arrive on campus along with five-star prospect Chris Cenac Jr., five-star Jerry Easter, four-star John Clark and four-star Trent Perry (2026).

Wisconsin’s class of 2025 ranks No. 6 in the nation with commitments from in-state shooting guard Zach Kinziger and in-state center Will Garlock. The cycle is in its infancy, so expect the ranking to fluctuate as other programs add commitments.

Hannah remains Wisconsin’s top target in the class despite it becoming a tougher recruiting battle with his transfer to Link Academy.
