Alabama basketball: Tide offer 2021 guard Malaki Branham

Malaki Branham, a 4-star guard in the 2021 recruiting class, has received an offer from Alabama.

The 6-4 combo guard, who attends St. Vincent-St. Mary (OH), is a primary target for many power conference programs around the nation.

Louisville, Ohio State, Michigan State, and Xavier are among the other teams in the mix for Branham.

He is rated as the top player in Ohio and the No. 40 player overall in the 2021 class, according to 247Sports.

The Crimson Tide return several key players this season and could be a preseason top 25 team, with new head coach Nate Oats also adding a top 20 recruiting class to the mix.
