    Class of 2025 four-stars Amari Allen, Davion Hannah and London Jemison signed their National Letter of Intents to Alabama Monday, head coach Nate Oats announced in a release.

    The class ranks No. 6 in the country, according to On3 Sports. It’s the fifth consecutive top-15 class for Oats, and first time in school history with five straight top-15 classes.

    “We are excited with the quality of talent we were able to bring in with this class, while adding three great people that will add value to our program,” Oats said in a release. “Amari, Davion and London each have a chance to play at the next level due to their ability to play multiple positions with great size, high IQ and skill level. We are excited to welcome both them and their families to the Alabama basketball program.”

    The university summarized each player, and their path to Tuscaloosa:

    Amari Allen | F | 6-8 | 180 | Green Bay, Wisc. (Ashwaubenon HS)

    • Ranked as a four-star recruit by On3 and the No. 2 player from the state of Wisconsin
    • Tabbed as the No. 13-ranked small forward in the country and the No. 71 overall recruit
    • Participated in the NBPA Top 100 Camp alongside fellow signee London Jemison
    • Attended IMG Academy before returning home to Wisconsin, finishing his high school career at Ashwaubenon
    • Chose Alabama over Minnesota, Mississippi State and Wisconsin
    Nate Oats on Amari Allen: “Amari is an elite wing that has the ability to play multiple positions due to his size, IQ and high skill level. Over the summer Amari proved to be an efficient scorer, shooting 50 percent from the field, 40 percent from three-point range and 80 percent from the free-throw line and is a great fit for our style of play, in a modern era of college basketball.” 

    Davion Hannah | G | 6-6 | 180 | Milwaukee, Wisc. (Link Academy)

    • A four-star recruit, Hannah is the No. 1 rated recruit from Wisconsin and No. 32 overall by On3
    • Ranked as the No. 2 combo guard in the country by On3
    • Named to the Naismith High School Player of the Year Watch List alongside fellow signee London Jemison
    • Participated in the NBPA Top 100 Camp
    • Plays for Link Academy in Missouri, where current Alabama guard Labaron Philon finished his prep career
    • Chose Alabama over Cincinnati, Missouri and Ohio State
    Nate Oats on Davion Hannah: “Davion possesses elite athleticism that is showcased in the open court and has great size, giving him the chance to play a multitude of positions. At 6’6” with a 6’10” wingspan, he fits the mold of how we are trying to play just like the other guys we have brought in.”

    London Jemison | F | 6-8 | 200 | Bloomfield, Conn. (St. Thomas More)

    • A four-star recruit, London is ranked as the No. 1 player from the state of Connecticut and the No. 8 player at his position
    • Ranked No. 38 overall in the country and the No. 8 power forward in the country
    • Along with fellow signees Allen and Hannah, Jemison participated in the NBPA Top 100 Camp

    • Attended St. Thomas More, which has produced over 12 NBA alumni which include Andre Drummond and Damion Lee
    • Prior to St. Thomas More, Jemison won CIAC Division I title while attending Northwest Catholic
    • Chose Alabama over Syracuse, Louisville and Vanderbilt
    Nate Oats on London Jemison: “London is a combination of great size at 6’8” and his IQ for the game is elite. Throughout our time recruiting London, he possessed one of the best shot charts we have ever seen. His talent and size aside, he is known as a proven winner and fits the mold of how we are trying to play.”
