Alabama Snags 3 Tall Transfers to Replace Bol Bowen

0:00On April 22nd, Taylor Bowen, the former Alabama forward, is heading to Oregon for his senior year. The 6-foot-10 junior averaged 6.3 points and 4.2 rebounds in 19 minutes per game across 30 contest this season. He started 11 games and entered the transfer portal first, among four Crimson Tide players back on April 6th. Meanwhile, Alabama also lost forward Aiden Cheryl, along with Guards, Jalobathea, and Davian Hannah to the portal. That front court shake-up includes seven-foot Noah Williams in wrapping up eligibility and 6-foot-8 Amari Allen declaring for the 2026 NBA draft while keeping college options open. Coach Nate Oates made it clear after their sweet 16 exit to Michigan they need to get bigger up front. Losing that size hurt, but the fanbase and program are eyeing quick fixes through the portal to keep contending in the SEC. Now Alabama snag three tall incoming transfers to plug those gaps. 6-foot-10 Brandon Garrison from Kentucky, 6-foot-10 Jamarian Davis Fleming,

1:04from Mississippi State, and 6-foot-11 Drew Fielder from Boise State. Garrison brings paint presence, Davis Fleming defensive chops with blocks and boards, while Fielder shot efficiently inside and from deep last year. These moves look solid, positioning the tie to bounce back strong without missing bullbow and step too much next season.
