Alabama Basketball: Analyzing transfer targets BJ Mack, Tylor Perry, and Aaron Estrada

Aaron Estrada – Hofstra Pride

2022-23 season stats: 20.2 ppg, 5.5 rpg, 4.3 apg

It’s going on stop No. 4 for Estrada, who after underwhelming seasons at both Saint Peter’s and Oregon, went to Hofstra where he became a star. The 4th-year senior lead his team in scoring and had Hofstra winning the CAA regular-season title.

Estrada was in double figures in all but one game and went for 30+ points four times. One of them was a career-high 40 points on 16/25 shooting against Elon, with 24 of those points coming from three-point range. The 6’4 guard also shot 37% from three-point range and filled up the stat sheet in other areas too.

Like Mack, Estrada also had a list out, this time with just four teams. Along with Alabama, Cincinnati, Kansas State, and Florida State were involved. Although the Seminoles lost two guards this offseason, they landed La Salle transfer Josh Nickelberry and still have Darin Green and Jalen Warley on the roster.

Cincinnati has been a rumored favorite, while Kansas State seems to be focusing its efforts on Max Abmas of Oral Roberts, though they can take both him and Estrada in the backcourt. Assuming that both Mark Sears and Jahvon Quinerly are back, the transfer may not have the ball in his hands much and that could be used against the Tide in this battle but look for a potential resolution soon.
