Alabama basketball 2025-26 roster tracker: Who stays, who goes, who's new

Alabama basketball 2025-26 roster tracker: Who stays, who goes, who's new

After the program's second straight run to the Elite Eight, Alabama basketball has already gotten to work on its next roster to hunt for a national championship.

Graduates Mark Sears, Cliff Omoruyi, Grant Nelson, Max Scharnowski and Chris Youngblood are off the board for Alabama basketball heading into the 2025-26 season. The exits of big men like 6-foot-11 Nelson and Omoruyi leave holes at forward and center in the starting five for the Crimson Tide, but coach Nate Oats' staff has already started taking care of the need with additions like Bucknell transfer Noah Williamson.

Here are The Tuscaloosa News' predictions for which remaining eligible players will stay and go from the Crimson Tide's 2024-25 roster, as well as updates on those who have already hit the portal or arrived from it. This story will be updated:
