Alabama Basketball Lands a Key Transfer in Aden Holloway

As the Crimson Tide continues to build its roster for the 2024-25 season, the addition of Aden Holloway from Auburn is a significant move. The former five-star recruit brings a wealth of experience, having started 26 of 35 games for the Tigers this past season. His commitment to Alabama is a major boost to the team’s prospects for next year.

Holloway’s numbers from this past season may not have been eye-popping, but his pairing with Alabama could yield big results. With a year of starting experience under his belt for a team that won the SEC tournament title, Holloway is poised to make a significant impact.

Assuming Mark Sears returns, Holloway fills a need as a secondary ball-handler who can get Alabama’s offense in and out of its sets when Sears is off the court. Holloway carried a 3-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio this past season and will be another playmaker to create shots for shooters like Latrell Wrightsell Jr. and newcomers Houston Mallette and Chris Youngblood while also being able to create for himself.

“Holloway’s commitment brings Alabama’s scholarship count to 12.”

Should Sears leave, there’s a possibility that Holloway assumes the starting point guard role, or coach Nate Oats could opt for a guard lineup featuring Wrightsell-Mallette-Youngblood and a starting frontcourt that’s to be determined with Grant Nelson weighing an NBA Draft decision.
