London Jemison to return to Alabama in 2026-27
Jemison is back on the roster for next year and he’s not alone. The Crimson Tide added NC State transfer Cole Cloer this week. Cloer was a 2026 recruit who enrolled with the Wolfpack early.
But after arriving in January, Cloer watched as NC State head coach Will Wade departed for LSU. He opted to hit the transfer portal rather than stick it out with new head coach Justin Gainey, despite attending Gainey’s introductory press conference.
Cloer finished his high school career at IMG Academy in Bradenton, Fla., a factory for top high school talent. He ranked as a four-star prospect and the No. 59 overall player in the Rivals Industry Rankings. He was also the No. 23 small forward and the No. 8 overall player in the state of Florida.
Now he’ll join an Alabama program looking to rebound from a Sweet 16 loss in 2025-26. The Crimson Tide have reached at least the Sweet 16 in five of the last six years, making the NCAA Tournament all six times.
