Alabama Basketball makes first commitment from class of 2025

Alabama’s basketball program got some good news Tuesday when Amari Allen announced his intentions to commit to the Crimson Tide. Allen becomes head coach Nate Oats’ first commitment in the Class of 2025.

Allen, from Green Bay, Wi., is a 6-foot-7, 180 small forward. He is considered the No. 4 player in Wisconsin and the No. 98 overall player in the class according to the 247Sports Composite. The 4-star prospect chose Alabama over Central Florida, Mississippi State, Wisconsin and others.

Allen spent part of his high school years at IMG Academy in Florida, but has moved back to Wisconsin to play his senior year at Ashwaubenon High School. 247Sports calls him a big-time prospect with a versatile game and consistent shooting threat.

Alabama signed a top-five recruiting class in the 2024 cycle and is hoping to match or surpass that in 2025 as the basketball program continues to cement itself as one of the nation’s best. The Crimson Tide is in on five-star prospects Caleb Wilson and AJ Dybansta as the basketball recruiting calendar heats up.
