Alabama basketball makes finalists for 5-star, Top 15 recruit ahead of commitment date
One of the nation's top remaining uncommitted basketball prospects in the 2025 recruiting cycle has officially set a commitment date, one that could be of interest to the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Brayden Burries, a high school prospect who ranks among the top overall players nationally, has announced that he will be making his anticipated decision this Wednesday, April 9 at 12:45 p.m. ET. Alabama is one of the five finalists for Burries, with the Crimson Tide also joined by the Arizona Wildcats, Oregon Ducks, Tennessee Volunteers, and USC Trojans.
According to 247Sports Composite recruiting rankings, Burries is currently considered as the nation's No. 11 overall prospect, as well as the No. 3 player in the state of California where he attends Eleanor Roosevelt High School. Also a five-star prospect, Burries ranks as the No. 2 combo guard in the nation as well.
Alabama's 2025 recruiting class currently ranks No. 9 nationally with a trio of four-star signees in London Jemison, Davion Hannah, and Amari Allen. Should he commit Wednesday, Burries would become the highest-rated of the group.

Alabama football 2025 season preview, predictions: Geno VanDeMark
Entering the college football season, there might not be a more versatile offensive lineman on the Alabama Crimson Tide's 2025 roster than Geno VanDeMark. A transfer from Michigan State last offseason, VanDeMark burst onto the scene for Alabama a year ago as an instant impact addition, appearing in every game along the Crimson Tide's offensive line at a variety of different positions. Coming off that breakout season, VanDeMark now enters the 2025 campaign among the top options up front for the Crimson Tide once again, and is expected to make a significant impact this fall, similar to a year ago. Here is a look at everything you need to know about Alabama offensive lineman Geno VanDeMark entering the 2025 season. Geno VanDeMark player information Position: Offensive Line Jersey Number: No. 56 Height: 6'5 Weight: 326 Class: Redshirt Senior Hometown: Lodi, New Jersey High School: Saint Joseph Geno VanDeMark career stats An experienced player at the collegiate level, VanDeMark will be entering his fifth season of college football in 2025, three of which came at Michigan State from 2021-23. Across his four previous seasons between Michigan State and Alabama, VanDeMark has appeared in 31 career games, 10 of which he has started. Geno VanDeMark 2024 stats The 2024 season was VanDeMark's first at Alabama, with the offensive lineman appearing in all 13 games for the Crimson Tide. VanDeMark started two games a year ago, one at left-and-right guard. Geno VanDeMark recruiting ranking Coming out of high school, VanDeMark was considered as the nation's No. 428 overall prospect in the 2021 class, per the 247Sports Composite rankings, as well as the No. 29 interior offensive lineman nationally that cycle. Rated as a three-star prospect, VanDeMark was also considered the No. 8 player in the state of New Jersey that cycle in which he attended St. Joseph Regional High School. Prior to Alabama, VanDeMark was considered as the No. 1,394 overall player in the transfer portal last offseason, per 247Sports, as well as the No. 106 interior offensive lineman. VanDeMark, rated as a three-star prospect as a transfer, also committed to Alabama in May 2024. Geno VanDeMark 2025 season outlook Simply put, VanDeMark will be one of Alabama's most important offensive linemen during the 2025 season. Competing for the starting left guard spot with transfer addition Kam Dewberry, VanDeMark could potentially enter the fall as a starter, but even if that were not to happen, the former Michigan State transfer will still play a major role as a piece that could rotate in-and-out when needed. This could come at left guard, as well as other spots such as right guard and center. However, don't be surprised if VanDeMark begins the season as the starting left guard either, and for the redshirt senior to help strengthen what should be a very good Alabama offensive line.
