9.  Juwan Gary, Alabama Crimson Tide

Juwan Gary is a 6-foot-6, 200-pound small forward prospect that has had quite the high school career prior to committing to the Alabama Crimson Tide. The South Carolina Gamecocks were long considered favorites which makes for a better storyline considering they’re also in the SEC.

Gary is a dynamic player that can change the way the Crimson Tide play on both ends. He was a solid holdover with the hiring of head coach Nate Oats in the 2019 recruiting class. Oats was able to hold onto Gary and rising sophomore Kira Lewis Jr., who mulled transferring, proving his impact already as a recruiter as well as a head coach.

With his size and versatility, Gary is a player that can create off the dribble and attack the rim with reckless abandon. He’s a player that should challenge for starter minutes right away in Year 1 under head coach Nate Oats.
