Alabama stomps Ole Miss 97-83 in Oxford

Nate Oats and the Alabama men’s basketball team dominated the Ole Miss Rebels in Oxford to the tune of 97-83 on Wednesday night.

Alabama caught fire from the field led by Jaden Shackelford’s 30 points on eight of thirteen from three. As a team, the Tide connected on 14 of its 22 three-point attempts.

Jahvon Quinerly distributed the ball well for the Tide, finishing with eight assists. True freshman JD Davison came alive for 18 points, 3 rebounds, and 8 assists off the bench,

Another player worth noting is true freshman Jusaun Holt who played extremely well on the defensive end of the floor for the Tide.

The Rebels were led by senior guard Jarkel Joiner who finished with 33 points in the contest.

Hopefully, the Tide can carry over the hot shooting into Saturday against the Razorbacks who are coming off a big win over top-ranked Auburn.

Alabama basketball lands four-star small forward Jusaun Holt

The Crimson Tide landed four star small forward Jusaun Holt from Roswell, Georgia on Sunday.

Nate Oats has done it again.

This time, it’s the class of 2021.

Alabama basketball has landed its first recruit for the 2021 class, and it’s a big deal!

The Crimson Tide landed four star small forward Jusaun Holt from Roswell, Georgia on Sunday.

Holt, a 6-foot-6, 200-pound wing, is ranked as the eighth-best player in Georgia and 123rd-best player nationally within the 247Sports Composite rankings.

Here’s what Holt told 247Sports about why he chose Alabama,

“I can see myself at Bama because of the play style and the way it would excel my game to a different level. I really like coach Pettway. He is the best recruiting coach I’ve had. My relationship is great with coach Oats, and he reminds me of my high school coach I have now. Really just an all-around fit. Play style, coaching staff, am I gonna play freshman year, all of that.”

He chose the Crimson Tide over Xavier, Georgia, Wake Forest, Miami, and Washington, all which were his final six schools.

247Sports’ Brian Snow recently wrote some evaluation notes on Holt:

“At around 6-foot-6, Holt looks more comfortable as a true wing this year, his shot has improved, and he still has an impressive ability to rebound the ball while being a versatile defender as well.”“One of the better available wings hailing from the South is Jusaun Holt. The native of suburban Atlanta has been a major winner at the high school level, and has had a good spring and summer with Team Dickerson on the travel basketball circuit, which in the state of Georgia has been best against best for the past couple of months.”
