While it might pose a concern for Crimson Tide fans, Alabama is also picking up commitments and players in the transfer portal. before the tournament started, Alabama landed a commitment from Pepperdine guard Houston Mallette, who is a high-level scorer and could be a contributing member to Alabama's scoring early.

Now, the Crimson Tide have made another addition, and this one is a homecoming. Chris Youngblood, a 6-foot-4, 218-pound guard, has committed to the Crimson Tide according to reports. He entered the transfer portal from the USF Bulls, where he shot 41.6% from three and averaged 15.3 points per game for the Bulls. He started 32 games for the Bulls last season.

Youngblood was the 2023-24 AAC Player of the Year.
