Alabama basketball lands London Jemison over Kansas, Louisville

Make that two commits in the 2025 recruiting class for Alabama basketball.

The Crimson Tide secured its second of the month on Saturday as London Jemison announced his pledge to Nate Oats and staff. Jemison also had offers from Kansas, Louisville, Virginia and more.

Jemison is a 6-foot-8, 200-pound forward who plays for St. Thomas More in Connecticut. The 247Sports Composite lists him as a four-star forward, ranked No. 1 in his state. He’s also the No. 38 player nationally and the No. 10 power forward.

He joins four-star forward Amari Allen in Alabama’s 2025 class. Allen committed on Sept. 10.

The Crimson Tide is fresh off the first Final Four appearance in program history. Alabama will begin the season Monday, Nov. 4 against UNC Asheville at Coleman Coliseum. First, the Crimson Tide will hold two exhibition games in the preseason, first against Wake Forest on Oct. 18 in Birmingham then one against Memphis on Oct. 28 in Huntsville.
