"It's one of the bigger programs in a great conference. In the last few years, tournament teams, top 25 team in the country, NBA guys coming out of there. So that is real intriguing about them."ADAM FINKELSTEIN: <a href="https://247sports.com/article/scouting-amari-allen-and-his-fit-at-alabama-236038188/">Scouting Allen and his fit at Alabama</a>Finkelstein, in part, wrote that Allen is "poised to be a riser" in Wednesday's rankings after averaging 16.8 points, 45% FG, 41% 3pt, 69% FT, 4.6 rebounds, 1.9 assists, 1.9 turnovers, 1.9 steals, 0.2 blocks in 14 games on the 2024 Adidas 3SSB circuit.He also talked about how Allen could fit in a role similar to <a href="https://247sports.com/Player/rylan-griffen-46059476/">Rylan Griffen</a>'s "because he has wing size, is competitive defensively, and can be multi-dimensional within offense as a floor-spacer or secondary playmaker."<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=0Tm0Nh_0vT5zciK00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0Tm0Nh_0vT5zciK00" width="620" height="320" ><figcaption>(Photo: Brandon Jenkins, 247Sports)</figcaption></figure>Additional Scouting Report via Adam Finkelstein:"Allen is a big wing with a good skill-set and well-rounded floor game. At 6-foot-6, he can dribble, pass, and shoot. He's a solid athlete with some toughness to him, and also has a high IQ and good feel for the game.He's a consistent shooting threat with soft touch when he's in rhythm from behind the three-point line (41% in 3SSB play). He's also a very functional ball-handler within the flow of the offense. He's not necessarily going to blow by his man, but he's good with the ball, and may even be able to be a team's secondary ball-handler when he isn't facing too much ball pressure. Allen is also a heady passer and capable of reading the floor well.Physically he has good size at 6-foot-6 and is a solid athlete in open space, but has relatively short arms (measured 6-foot-7.75 wingspan in July of 2024) and doesn't always explode through contact in the lane of as a finisher. Defensively, he's competitive and smart, but not a super fluid lateral mover, and so he can be foul prone.": <a href="https://247sports.com/article/2025-rankings-update-the-battle-for-no-1-darryn-petersons-opportunity-nate-aments-rise-236045973/">Expert analysis, thoughts on the updated 2025 Top247 player rankings</a>: <a href="https://247sports.com/article/2026-rankings-update-tyran-stokes-cements-no-1-status-brandon-mccoy-nba-legacies-lead-loaded-socal-class-236048281/#:~:text=Tyran%20Stokes'%20dominance%20keeps%20him%20at%20the%20top&amp;text=As%20a%20result%2C%20he%20temporarily,Stokes%20reclaimed%20the%20top%20spot.">Expert analysis, thoughts on the updated 2026 Top247 player rankings</a>Alabama's 2025 class currently <a href="https://247sports.com/college/alabama/season/2025-basketball/commits/">ranks No. 23 in the country</a> with the one commitment from Allen. <a href="https://247sports.com/Coach/nate-oats-2587/">Nate Oats</a>, <a href="https://247sports.com/Coach/preston-murphy-2354/">Preston Murphy</a> and the rest of the staff are set to <a href="https://247sports.com/college/alabama/season/2025-basketball/visits/">host more top-ranked talent for official visits throughout the fall</a>.Bama247 will continue to follow the latest on the football and basketball recruiting trail.Stay up to date with the latest on the <a href="https://247sports.com/college/alabama/board/alabama-crimson-tide-message-board-forum-116/">Bama247 VIP Boards</a>.</div></body>
