Goodnews: Alabama Lands Major Transfer Portal Addition on Wednesday

On Wednesday, April 30, 2025, Alabama Basketball secured a significant addition to their roster through the transfer portal, landing Keitenn Bristow, a 6-foot-8 forward from Tarleton State.

Bristow was named the WAC Freshman of the Year this past season, averaging 11.3 points and 4.3 rebounds per game. He also showcased his versatility by shooting 32.8% from beyond the arc and leading all WAC freshmen with 1.1 steals per game. He has three years of eligibility remaining.

This marks Alabama’s fourth transfer portal addition this spring and the third in the frontcourt. Bristow joins Noah Williamson (center from Bucknell), Taylor Bol Bowen (forward from Florida State), and Jalil Bethea (guard from Miami) as incoming transfers.

This addition is crucial for Alabama as they are losing several key players due to graduation and the transfer portal, including forwards Grant Nelson, Mouhamed Dioubate, and Jarin Stevenson, as well as center Clifford Omoruyi.

Here’s a quick look at Alabama’s transfer portal activity:

Incoming Transfers:

* Noah Williamson: Senior center from Bucknell, averaged 17.6 points and 7.6 rebounds.

* Taylor Bol Bowen: Junior forward from Florida State, averaged 8.0 points and 5.2 rebounds with 1.5 blocks.

* Jalil Bethea: Freshman guard from Miami, a former 5-star recruit.

* Keitenn Bristow: Sophomore forward from Tarleton State, WAC Freshman of the Year.

Outgoing Transfers:

* Naas Cunningham (forward)

* Mouhamed Dioubate (forward)

* Jarin Stevenson (forward)

* Derrion Reid (forward)

With three open roster spots remaining, Alabama, under coach Nate Oats, is still actively looking to fill needs, particularly at lead guard and on the wing, as they aim to build a strong team for the 2025-26 season. The potential return of Labaron Philon, who is currently testing the NBA draft waters, could significantly impact their roster composition.
