Earl Timberlake, a 4-star guard in the 2020 recruiting class, has picked up an offer from Nate Oats and the Alabama Crimson Tide.

The 6-6 shooting guard, who attends DeMatha Catholic (MD), continues to receive lots of interest from programs around the country.

Florida and South Carolina are the other SEC schools that have offered him, while Providence, Maryland, Seton Hall, and West Virginia are among the others in the mix.

Timberlake is rated as the No. 2 player in Maryland and No. 39 player overall in the 2020 class, according to 247Sports.

Oats and company have targeted a plethora of top recruits thus far since taking over in Tuscaloosa, and he should get plenty of help right away from his 2019 group.

Alabama has four players signed in the class and will also add West Virginia grad transfer Beetle Bolden, who should provide an instant spark in the backcourt along with the returning duo of Kira Lewis and John Petty.

If Oats can get the roster adjusted to his up-tempo style right away, it should give the Crimson Tide a great chance to get back to the NCAA Tournament next season.
