TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Former Alabama Basketball guard Jaden Bradley has committed to Arizona.

Bradley entered the transfer portal on April 4. Bradley, a former five-star recruit, was the No. 3 point guard in the Class of 2022 — and the No. 26 overall player in the country. He was a McDonald's All-American.

Bradley had an inconsistent but solid freshman season with the Crimson Tide. He appeared in 37 games, including 22 starts — averaging 6.4 points, 3.1 assists and 2.6 rebounds per game.

Bradley will face his former team on Dec. 20 when Alabama and Arizona meet in Phoenix — part of a two-year home-and-home matchup between the two programs.

The Wildcats lost five total guards from their 2022-23 roster. Kerr Kriiisa (9.9 PPG) transferred to West Virginia while Adama Bal (2.5 PPG) transferred to Santa Clara. Arizona is also losing seniors Cedric Henderson Jr. (8.1 PPG) and Courtney Ramey (10.5 PPG).

The Crimson Tide is still trying to figure out who will be on its 2023-24 roster after plenty of turnover this offseason. Brandon Miller and Noah Clowney are off to the NBA while Nimari Burnett transferred to Michigan.

Mark Sears, Jahvon Quinerly and Charles Bediako are all testing the NBA draft waters.
