Alabama Guard Predicted to Transfer to SEC Team
The Alabama Crimson Tide ended the 2025-26 college basketball season on a disappointing note. Entering March Madness as a No. 4 seed, they advanced all the way to the Sweet 16. However, their run at a national championship ended there, losing to the No. 1 Michigan Wolverines 90-77.
Following the loss, Nate Oats and his staff entered the offseason needing to navigate the transfer portal. So far, the Crimson Tide have brought in four players, while also losing four. Among the departures is guard Davion Hannah.
He just wrapped up his freshman season with Alabama, but only appeared in 10 games because on injuries. The guard averaged 3.3 points, 1.9 rebounds and 0.8 assists while shooting 46.2% from the field and 36.4% from the three-point line.
While seeking a medical redshirt that will give him four years of eligibility, he is viewed as one of the most intriguing players to hit the open market. On3 Industry Rankings lists Hannah as the No. 5 combo guard and No. 48 player to hit this year's transfer cycle.
It may not be long until he finds a new home. On Monday, On3's senior national recruiting analyst, Jamie Shaw, logged an expert prediction for Hannah to commit to the South Carolina Gamecocks.
He would join a strong list of transfer commits South Carolina has landed. That includes guard Shane Blakeney (Drexel Dragons), forward Aleksas Bieliauskas (Wisconsin Badgers), Camden Heide (Texas Longhorns) and Kory Mincy (George Mason Patriots).
Meanwhile, it would be a disappointing blow for the Crimson Tide. Hannah would be the fourth Alabama player to officially find a new home. While Oats and his staff have done well in the portal, none of their additions are guards.
