The 5-star center's shooting capabilities and versatility bring a unique element to the Crimson Tide frontcourt.
This is the sixth in an 8-part series where BamaCentral's Blake Byler will break down the numbers and the film to give you everything you need to know about each of Alabama basketball's 2024-25 newcomers.
According to 247Sports' composite rankings, Sherrell is the No. 23 overall player in the 2024 class. 247 also ranks him as the No. 6 high school recruit to ever commit to Alabama, and the top commit in Alabama history that's 6-foot-10 or taller. To get a feel and a visual for how Sherrell will be able to impact Alabama in his freshman year, let's take a look at some film from his last season in the EYBL playing against some of the other top high school talent.
When you think of the ideal Nate Oats big man, one that can stretch the floor on the offensive end comes to mind, and that's exactly what Sherrell is able to do. Now, there's no guarantee he's going to shoot 40 percent from three in his first year in college, but if he's able to shoot at a clip in the upper-30s, he'll help open up tons of space for guards to get into the lane and score at the rim.
Sherrell is also a lob threat, with excellent above-the-rim athleticism for his size, and soft hands that catch seemingly everything thrown to him. Combining his soft touch around the rim on layups and hook with his leaping ability makes him a dangerous inside scorer, and if he's adjusts to the physicality of SEC basketball down low he's going to be able to score effectively off dump-offs and lobs from Alabama guards.
