Out of Southern California Academy, Cunningham is listed at 6-7 and 180 pounds. On the 247Sports Composite, Cunningham is rated 4-stars, the No. 7 player in the state of California, No. 11 small forward and No. 42 prospect overall in the Class of 2024.
Cunningham picked up scholarship offers from 19 schools during his recruitment. He chose Alabama over Memphis, West Virginia and others.
Alabama now has 2 commitments in its 2024 class. Four-star big man Aiden Sherrell pledged to UA in September.
Let’s not overthink this with Naas Cunningham. You have a 6’8 athlete with a 6’11 wing span & a VERY translatable skill: SHOOTING! Deep range 3s with fluidity & ease. High flyer in transition & can create his own shot off the bounce. Shot & handle creativity as well pop & wiggle. pic.twitter.com/EPjsatu39Q
