Yale graduate transfer Jordan Bruner commits to Alabama 'with the goal of winning a national championship' on his mind
Alabama’s basketball program is trending up thanks to Nate Oats’ ability to recruit.
Following the offseason additions of four-star prospects Keon Ambrose-Hylton and Josh Primo, along with three-star recruits Keon Ellis (JUCO prospect) and Darius Miles, the Crimson Tide have now landed First-Team All-Ivy League forward Jordan Bruner as a graduate transfer.
Bruner picked Alabama over Baylor and Maryland.
Talk about an offseason roster overhaul.
Last season, Bruner averaged 10.9 points and 9.2 rebounds per game with Yale. He has one season of college eligibility remaining.
“All three of my remaining schools were great situations, but due to God’s vision, I’ll be returning to college and joining Coach Oats at the University of Alabama with the goal of winning a national championship.”

Whelp, I appreciate his enthusiasm.
Does he think that Alabama basketball is like football, and when they don’t have a season Alabama just gets to declare that they’re the champion?
I really wanted this guy at Arkansas. Mobile big that can pass, shoot and block shots. The Tide picking up some nice pieces. A National Title isn’t happening, but I expect Alabama to certainly make the NCAA Tournament. Oats is a good coach.
Tide Hoops is making a comeback. Love the pieces Oats is putting together. Should be top 5 in SEC next year. We’re a perennial bubble team but next year we should be on the right side of the bubble.
Has he been talking to Joe Moorhead?
