Top-25 Class of 2027 prospect Anderson Diaz has officially reclassified to the Class of 2026 and signed with Alabama.
The 6-foot-1 Diaz committed to the Crimson Tide in May after an impressive season, averaging 17.2 points, 4.9 rebounds and 7.0 assists for the Cold Hearts in Overtime Elite .He then averaged 20.6 points, 4.4 rebounds and 4.4 assists on the Nike EYBL Circuit for the NY Rens.
“Anderson Diaz is a very dynamic playmaker that has the ability to extend the court with his three-point range while being able to break down the defense and get paint touches at any moment of the game,” Crimson Tide head coach Nate Oats said July 14.. With a 6’6” wingspan, he has quick hands combined with great instincts that gives him the tools to be an elite defender. Combine that with his ability to create for others, he will be a great addition to our backcourt. We are excited to have him at Alabama.”
Alabama is coming off a Sweet 16 appearance and will benefit from the guard play of Diaz.
