Alabama Basketball: Crimson Tide land JUCO PF Nick Pringle

Only days after Alabama Basketball landed two commitments in five-star SF Brandon Miller and four-star PF Noah Clowney, the Crimson Tide have added yet another commitment to their Top 10 nationally ranked class.

Nick Pringle commits to Alabama Basketball

The Crimson Tide have landed a commitment from power forward Nick Pringle, the No. 2 overall rated JUCO player in the country by 247Sports. Rated as a three-star prospect, Pringle is also rated as the top JUCO power forward in the country.

A 6’9 power forward from Dodge City Community College in Dodge City, KS, Pringle recently released a Top 5 list on Wednesday that included Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss, West Virginia, and Wichita State. Pringle will have three years of eligibility remaining.

A native of Seabrook, SC, Pringle played his high school basketball at Whale Branch (SC) before spending his freshman season a year ago at Wofford. Appearing in 15 games during the 2020-21 campaign with the Terriers, Pringle averaged 2 PPG and 2.1 RPG on 59.1% shooting from the field.

Despite not the biggest sample-size at Wofford, Pringle is an impressive athlete for his position who excels in the paint due to his athleticism. A strong rebounder, Pringle has the ability to be a force on the offensive and defensive glass, while also a strong interior defensive presence who can then run the floor and finish on the offensive end.

With the addition of Pringle, the Crimson Tide only add to what is already a Top 10 overall class in the country, as well as one of the Top 3 in the SEC. Looking ahead as well, Alabama Basketball is also a finalist for five-star PF and the nation’s top power forward Jarace Walker (IMG Academy, FL) who is set to announce his decision later tonight between either the Crimson Tide, Auburn, or Houston.

Will the Crimson Tide continue to add to what has already been a phenomenal week for Alabama Basketball?
