Four-star Class of 2027 guard Anderson Diaz committed to Alabama on Thursday.
The 6-foot-1 New York City native is rated the No. 6 point guard in the Class of 2027, per 247Sports.com.
He also held offers from Arkansas, UCLA, Louisville, Providence, Syracuse, Auburn, and others, per On.3com.
“The love and loyalty was there from the start [with Alabama],” he told On3. “I feel like from my first unofficial visit and before, even when they first started recruiting me, I feel like they’ve been non-stop, just with love, reaching out, bad games, good games. I see that it’s deeper than wanting me to help them. They want to see me get to the next level. They want to help me be a part of the journey as well. They care about the on-court stuff, off-court stuff, and it just felt right. It felt like home, literally. It just felt like it was home.”
As for his message to Tide fans, he said: “I’m just excited to be at Bama, for real. I’m coming a long way. I’m an up north kid coming to the south. I just hope I’m welcome. That’s really my message to them, for real. I’m just excited to be there. I can’t wait to be around.”
