Sherrell is the fifth-highest recruit ever for Alabama and its top-rated center.
The 6-foot-10 Sherrell averaged 18.8 points and 9.3 rebounds per game for Hillcrest Prep last season in the Overtime Elite league.
He is the first commit in the Crimson Tide’s 2024 class. The 2023 class, ranked No. 13 by 247Sports, features three four-star players in Jarin Stevenson, Sam Walters and Mouhamed Dioubate.Sherrell is arguably the most naturally talented big man in the class that can impact the game in variety of ways. First as a scorer. He can score in the low post and has shown the ability to make mid-range jumpers. He’s an elite athlete that will be used as a lob threat.
What this does for the Alabama staff is allow flexibility in the short and long term. Going into the 2024-25 season, three of Alabama’s five big men on the roster will be sophomores or younger, including Stevenson who re-classed up this summer. That group of three — Stevenson, Walters and Dioubate — lack big game experience at the moment but will gain some of that this season.
If the transfer portal again doesn’t provide any elite big men, the Crimson Tide will be well equipped to handle that. Not to mention, Sherrell is highest rated big man in program history in nearly 20 years and what he does well will earn him big minutes as a freshman. —Coach Nate Oats was at Montverde Academy on Tuesday to watch 2024 five-star Asa Newell as the forward nears a decision. Also, five-star forward Derrion Reid is heavily considering the Tide, a teammate of Sherrell.
Oats and staff are also recruiting a few high-level recruits in Jase Richardson, Billy Richmond and Boogie Fland. So far, Fland and Richardson have taken official visits, while Richmond plans to visit Alabama from October 20th to the 22nd. —
