Roster additions
- Drew Fielder (14.7 ppg and 5.7 rpg at Boise State)

- Jaxon Richardson (4-star guard prospect)
Losing one of the nation’s leading scorers in Philon is certainly a big blow, but assuming the legal woes get dealt with, Holloway will be next up as the lead guard for Alabama. There’s not a ton of guard depth, including other ball-handlers, but there’s a ton of versatile wing options, thanks to both the incoming recruiting class and returning forwards, Allen and Jemison.
The frontcourt should have more depth as well. Garrison and Davis-Fleming are proven big bodies from the SEC, while Fielder is one of the best stretch forwards in all of college basketball and should thrive in this offense. If either of the heralded recruits can have an immediate impact, then Alabama should have another top-tier scoring offense.
