Alabama Basketball Lands Athletic Guard Dazon Ingram

The Alabama men's basketball team added its third commitment to the class of 2015 when Theodore guard Dazon Ingram announced on Twitter that he would be playing his college ball in Tuscaloosa. 

The 6'5" guard will give Anthony Grant's team a big dose of athleticism. While a bit raw, Ingram has good vision and can elevate as well as anyone his size. His high school coach, Phillip Roebling, told AL.com that Ingram will develop into a point guard at the next level.

"I think he needs to play the point because the more the ball is in his hands, the better the team is going to be," Roebling said. "He makes great decisions, sees the whole floor and makes the right play. He knows what to go and when to dish it off to someone ahead who is open. I think he's better suited as a point guard."

The commitment gives Alabama three of the state's top four players according to 247Sports. Ingram is currently rated as a three-star prospect but could rise in the rankings if he improves his outside shot during his senior season.
