Alabama target announces commitment to ACC program

The four-star center has made a decision.

One of the top centers in the 2025 recruiting class, Jaden Toombs announced his commitment to the SMU Mustangs on Wednesday afternoon over a list of four additional finalists.

Those programs were the Alabama Crimson Tide, Miami Hurricanes, Texas Tech Red Raiders, and Vanderbilt Commodores.

Toombs, who visited Alabama back in late-August, is considered as one of the premier centers in the 2025 recruiting class, ranking as the No. 6 player at the position in the cycle. A four-star prospect, Toombs is also considered as the nation’s No. 44 overall player according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings, and is the No. 4 prospect in the state of Texas where he attends Dynamic Prep.

With the four-star having now committed to SMU, Alabama’s 2025 recruiting class still sits at No. 8 overall in the 2025 cycle with a total of two commits. Those come from a pair of four-star small forwards in London Jemison and Amari Allen, both of which committed to Alabama earlier this month.

Alabama basketball target sets official commitment date

The four-star prospect recently visited Alabama.

One of the Alabama Crimson Tide’s top basketball targets in the 2025 class has set an official commitment date, as highly-touted center Jaden Toombs will reportedly make his college decision September 26.

Toombs, who recently visited Alabama for the Western Kentucky game, currently holds numerous offers that include programs such as the LSU Tigers, Miami Hurricanes, SMU Mustangs, and Texas Tech Red Raiders.

As mentioned previously, Toombs is one of the premier centers in the 2025 recruiting class, ranking No. 6 at the position nationally according to the 247Sports Composite Rankings. A four-star prospect, Toombs also ranks as the nation’s No. 46 overall player, as well as No. 5 in the state of Texas where he attends Dynamic Prep.

Should the four-star commit to Alabama, Toombs would become the first commitment of the Crimson Tide’s 2025 class. After finishing with the nation’s No. 2 ranked class last cycle, will Alabama add their first to the 2025 group later this month?

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.

LSU basketball makes the cut for top 50 center

The Tigers made the cut for another top prospect in the 2025 class.

LSU made the cut for yet another top target on the board in the 2025 basketball recruiting class.

The Tigers are still looking for their first commitment in the cycle, but they made the top five for four-star, top-50 center [autotag]Jaden Toombs[/autotag] as he trimmed down his list. They’re joined by Alabama, Miami, SMU and Texas Tech.

LSU seemingly has some ground to make up with the Dallas prospect, who officially visited Texas Tech last September and has upcoming official visits set with Alabama, Miami and SMU. The Mustangs are considered the slight favorite with the Red Raiders not far behind according to the On3 recruiting prediction machine.

We’ll see if LSU can close the gap here despite not getting him on campus for an official visit.
