Departing Transfers
Nimari Burnett - Guard (RS Sophomore)
- Committed to Michigan on March 30
- The redshirt sophomore was recruited by Alabama out of high school, and transferred to the Crimson Tide after a short-lived freshman season at Texas Tech. He then missed his first season at Alabama due to a torn ACL, making his Crimson Tide debut this past season.
- He began the season as a starter but had another season dealing with injuries and gradually saw his role decrease as the season went on. His decision to transfer was likely due to wanting an opportunity for more playing time.

Jaden Bradley - Guard (Freshman)
- Committed to Arizona on May 3
- Entering as a 5-star recruit and McDonald's All-American, Bradley had a solid first collegiate season. He only averaged about six points per game, but served his role well as a pass-first point guard that facilitated the Alabama offense and showed flashes of excellent finishing ability.
- The freshman lost his starting spot in favor of Quinerly in the postseason, and saw his minutes decrease in tournament play, which is the likely reason for him entering the transfer portal.
