The Alabama basketball program took a couple potential hits on Tuesday when head coach Nate Oats said that Kira Lewis Jr. and John Petty would test the NBA waters.
And while it’s not a guarantee that both — or either — leave, it’s looking like the Crimson Tide will need to replenish the depth on the roster, especially after the announcement that Raymond Hawkins entered the transfer portal.
Well, the hope is that 2021 four-star combo guard Josh Primo could be one of those potential replacements on the roster. On Tuesday, the Toronto (Ohio) native insinuated that a commitment date could be set via his Twitter account:

As of right now, the belief is that the final two schools are Alabama and Creighton, which means the Crimson Tide is in a good position to land the 6-foot-6, 180-pound prospect.
According to the 247Sports composite rankings, Primo is the No. 47 overall prospect, No. 8 combo guard and No. 1 player from the state of Ohio. He’s also listed as a five star (No. 27 overall) when it comes to the 247Sports standalone rankings.
If Primo was added to the Tide’s 2020 class, he would join four-star power forward Keon Ambrose-Hylton out of Willoughby (Ohio).
