Alabama Basketball Secures Top 2026 Recruiting Visits, Targets Elite Prospects

The Alabama Crimson Tide men's basketball program is actively recruiting top talent for the 2026 class, securing high-profile prospects such as four-star small forward Christopher Washington Jr., who has included Alabama in his top seven schools and is scheduled to visit in September. Five-star shooting guard Caleb Holt, an Alabama native, has also planned an official visit to Alabama in October amidst interest from other top programs. Additionally, five-star combo guard Ikenna Alozie, ranked No. 10 nationally, has an official visit scheduled for the same September weekend as Alabama's football game versus UL Monroe. Meanwhile, Kentucky and USC are competing for the highly ranked power forward Christian Collins, who will visit Kentucky in October and USC in August. On the football front, Alabama is building its 2026 recruiting class with versatile defensive back Rihyael Kelley, whose development and adaptability have impressed coaches and who switched his commitment to Alabama after previously committing elsewhere.
