Nate Oats has been busy since moving from Buffalo to take the Alabama basketball job, rebuilding his roster and adding new pieces to the puzzle.
On Tuesday, he and his staff landed a commitment from a JUCO small forward who had previously signed with Buffalo.
As you can see below, James Rojas — who played last season at Hutchinson Community College in Kansas — announced via Twitter that he was heading to Tuscaloosa:
