Alabama has offered 2020 5-star guard Nimari Burnett, who continues to garner plenty of attention from programs around the country.

The 6-3 combo guard, who currently attends Prolific Prep (CA), adds the Crimson Tide to what is already a long list of offers.

Arizona State, Marquette, Ohio State, USC, and Vanderbilt are among the group that has made him a priority in the class.

Burnett is rated as the No. 3 combo guard and the No. 25 player overall in the 2020 class, according to 247Sports.

New Alabama head coach Nate Oats has certainly started off strong when it comes to his approach on the recruiting trail, and that will continue to be a key factor moving forward.

Of course, two of his biggest recruiting wins thus far have come on his own roster, as Oats was able to convince guards Kira Lewis and John Petty to return to Tuscaloosa after considering a transfer.

Meanwhile, Alabama has already compiled a top 20 class for 2019, and that ranking will improve even more should the program be able to land 5-star forward Trendon Watford.

Oats went 96-43 overall in his four seasons at Buffalo, which included three NCAA Tournament appearances and back-to-back first round wins the past two seasons.
