Alabama Adds 7-Foot Canadian Center | College Basketball News

Alabama basketball just got a giant leap for the future with the commitment of seven-foot Canadian center TJ St. Louis, set to join in 2026-27. He’s the lone freshman big man in a loaded class that also includes five-star forward Jaxon Richardson and three other four-stars. Coach Nate Oats is already stacking depth with three veteran transfers—Drew Fielder, Jamarion Davis-Fleming, and Brandon Garrison—all centers. St. Louis, who previously held an offer from Eastern Michigan, brings elite international experience from the NBA Academy Latin America and Fort Erie Prep. With Alabama’s Sweet Sixteen run last season and this aggressive rebuild, the Crimson Tide are clearly aiming for another deep tournament run—and they’re building it from the paint up.
