How have Alabama basketball transfers performed at their new schools during 2023-2024 season?

The Alabama men’s basketball team has seen several of its players transfer from the program. Roll Tide Wire takes a closer look at how each of the transfers are performing at their respective schools.

The Alabama men’s basketball program has seen its share of players enter and exit via the transfer portal. Crimson Tide head coach Nate Oats has had to fill some holes on the roster in recent years. More specifically, he was tasked with finding replacements for some of the top players on the roster the past two seasons.

Last offseason, the Crimson Tide lost all but two scholarship players. Meaning that the players on the roster either declared for the NBA draft or transferred elsewhere.

Today, Roll Tide Wire takes a look at how some of the Alabama transfers have performed at their new schools during the 2023-2024 season.

BREAKING: Alabama PG Jaden Bradley transferring to Arizona

Alabama point guard Jaden Bradley is transferring to Arizona, according to On3’s Joe Tipton. Bradley spent one season at Alabama.

Alabama point guard Jaden Bradley is transferring to Arizona. He confirmed the news on his Twitter account on Wednesday evening.

Bradley spent one season with the Crimson Tide. In 37 games, Bradley averaged 6.4 points per game, 2.6 rebounds per game, and 3.1 assists per game. He was the go-to guard off the bench for the majority of the season. Bradley flourished at attcking the rim and finishing on contested shots.

Bradley was regarded as a five-star out of high school. He chose Alabama over other programs like Arizona, Florida State, and Michigan. Bradley took an official visit to Arizona but ultimately chose to commit to Alabama.

Now, he will head to Tucson to play for a Wildcats program that has had a lot of success over the years. Interestingly enough, both teams will meet on December 20 in Phoenix. It will be interesting to see how Bradley performs against his former team.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow the Alabama basketball program and its involvement in the transfer portal.

Former Alabama PG Jaden Bradley visiting with the Memphis Tigers

Former five-star recruit and Alabama player, Jaden Bradley, set to meet with the Memphis Tigers

The Alabama men’s basketball program will look much different in 2023 than it did this past year. The Tide lost all three assistant coaches to head coaching opportunities this off-season and the roster was purged by the NBA draft as well as the transfer portal.

One of the most surprising departures was former four-star recruit, Jaden Bradley. Coming out of high school, Bradly was a McDonald’s All-American as well as a top-25 player in the 2022 recruiting cycle. He was one of the biggest recruits Nate Oats has landed during his tenure in Tuscaloosa so it is definitely a tough loss for the Tide.

Bradley averaged 19.8 minutes a game and was good for 6.4 PPG and 3.1 APG. However, his inconsistency from the field was his downfall as he shot under 40% in 2022-2023.

Even though they are going through the NBA draft process, Oats is optimistic that Mark Sears and Jahvon Quinerly will return to Alabama next season. Bradley read the writing on the wall that he might get buried in the depth chart and has decided to pursue other options.

Earlier in the week Bradley met with North Carolina State, but today he will be meeting with the Memphis Tigers. With Penny Hardaway at the helm Memphis has become a very attractive landing spot for a lot of guys in the portal and I wouldn’t be shocked if this is where Bradley lands.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to monitor Jaden Bradley’s potential transfer locations.

Alabama ranks No. 11 in ESPN’s way-too-early MBB Top 25 for 2023

Crimson Tide just outside of the top 10 in ESPN’s 2023 NCAA MBB rankings

Despite a disappointing season end, the Alabama Crimson Tide basketball team had one of the best years in program history. The Tide swept the SEC regular season and SEC Tournament en route to earning the No. 1 overall seed in the March Madness tournament for the first time in school history.

Alabama will lose Brandon Miller to the NBA draft, and guys like Jaden Bradley and Nimari Burnett have already entered the portal so the roster will look much different next year. Nate Oats has recruited incredibly well and has been quite successful in the portal so Tide fans should remain optimistic. Mark Sears’ role will continue to grow in 2023 and he is a player that remains very promising.

ESPN still thinks quite highly of the Tide ranking them at No. 11 in their way-too-early top 25 for 2023. Losing a generational player like Miller and remaining this high speaks highly of what the polls believe Oats is capable of.

“Brandon Miller and Noah Clowney are off to the NBA, Jahvon Quinerly leads a group of departing seniors and Nimari Burnett is heading to Michigan,” writes ESPN’s Jeff Borzello. “But Nate Oats has already been busy in the portal, landing Wichita State transfer Jaykwon Walton. He’s also bringing back Jaden Bradley, Mark Sears, Charles Bediako, Rylan Griffen and Nick Pringle from a team ranked No. 1 entering the NCAA tournament.”

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

BREAKING: Alabama guard Jaden Bradley enters transfer portal

Alabama point guard Jaden Bradley is set to enter the transfer portal. He was a part-time starter for the Crimson Tide this past season.

Alabama point guard Jaden Bradley will be entering the transfer portal. Verbal Commits was the first to report the news on Twitter.

Bradley was a McDonald’s All-American coming out of high school. The New York native joined a Alabama recruiting class that finished ranked No. 3.

In his lone season with the Tide, Bradley averaged 6.4 points per game, 2.6 rebounds per game, and 3.1 assists per game. He started in 22 games for the Tide this past season. His most productive game came against Auburn in Alabama’s regular season finale. Bradley had six points, five rebounds, and four assists.

He flashed the ability to drive by defenders and make timely layups. Bradley was also a key piece to Alabama’s backcourt. One thing that Bradley struggled with this season was shooting from deep. He shot just 31.8% from the three-point line.

Bradley can explore his options and transfer in due time. However, he could elect to return to Alabama as well. Both options are on the table.

SEC All-Freshman Team features three Crimson Tide members

Jaden Bradley, Noah Clowney and Brandon Miller voted to the SEC All-Freshman Team

The accolades keep rolling in for the No. 4 Alabama Crimson Tide basketball team after the conclusion of the SEC regular season. The Tide won the SEC regular season title last Saturday at home against the Auburn Tigers.

After an outstanding regular season that featured a lot of key, young talent, three members of the Crimson Tide have been placed on the SEC All-Freshman Team: Jaden Bradley, Noah Clowney and Brandon Miller. Miller was also recognized as the SEC Freshman of the Year.

Even though the Tide will surely lose Miller to the NBA draft and it’s not yet determined what Quinerly will do, the Tide are in good hands for the foreseeable future. Oats has established himself as one of the best coaches in the country and arguably the best in the SEC. If he continues to recruit at the level he has been, the Tide will be consistent contenders.
