Noah Clowney became the second high-level recruit to commit to Alabama on Monday, continuing the Tide’s roll.
“I’m going to the University of Alabama,” he said on CBS Sports HQ.
He told On3.com he was convinced after his visit.
“Initially going into the (Alabama visit), honestly, I had the least amount of thought that I would go to Bama,” Clowney said. “I didn’t think I was going to Bama, going into the visit. So I get there and they showed me a lot that I didn’t see before. The visit itself was really good but I wasn’t going to just let the visit persuade me into going. So I took a couple of days to think about it. So I ended up thinking about it for a long time and was like ‘okay, I really like it.’ So I did a whole lot of research. I contacted a lot of previous players…I watched four full Alabama games from top to bottom. I watched how they used previous people that were similar to me. So for a long time, I kept going back and forth between Indiana, VT, and Alabama…just going back and forth and couldn’t decide. I decided Alabama felt the most comfortable. Finally, I was like ‘yeah, I’m going to Alabama.”
The 6-foot-9 four-star power forward from Dorman (S.C.) chose the Tide over Indiana and Virginia Tech. Earlier Monday, five-star forward Brandon Miller also chose Alabama.
Alabama previously landed point guard Jaden Bradley and remains in the mix for his five-star IMG Academy teammate Jarace Walker, who will announce Wednesday between Alabama, Auburn and Houston.
