The 2025 recruiting class for the Alabama women's basketball program acquired a major commitment on Monday. Tianna Chambers, a four-star prospect and one of the best players in Colorado, committed to the Crimson Tide. The news was first reported by Talia Goodman of On3.

Chambers visited Tuscaloosa last month and had Alabama in her final two schools, alongside fellow SEC institution Mississippi State. She attends Cherry Creek High School in Englewood and had other offers, including one from Kentucky.

The guard tore her ACL this past season, cutting her junior campaign short. Chambers is not alone in the Alabama program's 2025 recruiting class, which also includes in-state Spring Garden star Ace Austin.

Commitment Hits 65-Yard FG

Fresh off of his commitment to play for Alabama on July 3, Class of 2025 kicker Peter Notaro shared a video on social media of him hitting a 65-yard field goal off a tee during an offseason workout. The Pennsylvania prospect is heading into his final year of high school, but 2023 Lou Groza Award winner, and Miami (Ohio) transfer, Graham Nicholson will be a senior during the 2024-25 season.

Notaro, the fourth ranked kicker in the nation according to Kohl’s Professional Camp’s rankings, is Alabama head coach Kalen DeBoer’s second specialist to commit in the 2025 recruiting cycle, joining punter Alex Asparuhov. — Hayden Kay
