Alabama Locks In Top 25 Guard Chase Lumpkin | SEC Basketball News

Alabama basketball just landed a major recruiting coup with Chase Lumpkin, a top-25 national recruit and elite combo guard from Georgia, committing to the Crimson Tide for the 2027 class. This is Alabama’s first commitment in that cycle, and it signals Nate Oats’ continued dominance — he’s already extended his contract after leading the team to six NCAA Tournaments in seven seasons, including a Final Four run and a Sweet Sixteen appearance last year. While Lumpkin won’t suit up until 2028, Alabama’s current freshman class — featuring guards Qayden Samuels and Anderson Diaz, forwards Jaxon Richardson and Tarris Bouie, and center TJ St. Louis — is primed to make an immediate impact. The Tide’s blueprint? Build for sustained excellence by blending present firepower with future stars. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
