"We think Langston has a really high upside," Oats said. "He's a gym rat, he's long and athletic. He had a misdiagnosis in high school that kept him from playing basketball so he's only played one year of organized basketball and we feel he has a tremendously high ceiling. We are looking forward to getting him in here next summer. His length and athleticism will add a lot to our team next season."

Jusaun Holt

6-6 | 190 | Fr. | SG | Roswell, Georgia | St. Francis Day School

Rated as a four-star prospect by ESPN, Rivals and 247Sports
Rivals has him ranked as the No. 102 overall player in his class and the No. 26 small forward in the nation
Earned second team Region 6 Sub-Region B All-Region honors and selected to the Atlanta Journal Constitution North Fulton second team following his junior season
247sports.com pegs him as the No. 20 small forward and the No. 8 overall player in Georgia
Ranked by ESPN as the No. 7 overall player in Georgia and the No. 41 player at his position
Helped lead St. Francis to consecutive Georgia Class A Private State Championship titles (2019 and 2020)
First signee to join the Crimson Tide out of the Atlanta area since Collin Sexton signed in 2017
Chose Alabama over Xavier, Wake Forest, Miami, Georgia and Washington, among others

"We needed to find someone to replace John Petty who is one of the best shooters in the country and we felt like we went out and got one of the premier shooters in all of high school basketball in Jusaun Holt," Oats said. "We also love the fact that he is a two-way player. We want everyone we recruit to take the defensive end as serious as they take the offensive end and we feel he is certainly that way. We think he is one of the best two-way wings in the country. He comes from Atlanta and I know the last player we got from that area turned out pretty good in Collin Sexton. We want to keep that pipeline going. We're ecstatic to get Jusaun and we think he is going to fit our style of play perfectly."
