In this story:

Alabama basketball only had five players from the 2024-25 team return to this year's roster. Four players exhausted their collegiate eligibility, while another four hit the transfer portal.

The 2025-26 season is nearing the end, as only four teams remain in the NCAA Tournament. The Crimson Tide lost to Michigan in the Sweet 16 in Chicago last week, and the season has also concluded for each of the four outgoing transfers and their respective teams.

Here's a look at the per-game numbers from all four transfers, along with their stats when they donned crimson and white.

Naas Cunningham, Forward: UNLV

Cunningham redshirted during the 2024-25 season as a freshman and never played. His height helped him shoot over defenders, but his weight was a question mark for head coach Nate Oats, who believed there was a lack of aggressiveness before last season.

Alabama obliterated UNLV 115-76 on Nov. 25 during the Players Era Festival in Las Vegas, but Cunningham was a late scratch with an ankle injury and he couldn't face his former team. He played in 21 games for the Rebels this season, but it was reported that he's planning to enter the transfer portal once again.

2024-25 (Alabama): Redshirted — no stats.

2025-26 (UNLV): 21 games (no starts), 13.3 minutes, 5.0 points (.337/.234/.806 shooting splits), 1.1 rebounds (0.3 offensive), 0.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.1 blocks.

No Alabama player won the Hard Hat more times last season than Dioubate. According to Oats, the Crimson Tide's top bench frontcourt member was the only player in Division I who had 110 rebounds in less than 310 minutes.

Alabama cruised past Dioubate and Kentucky 89-74 on Jan. 3 in this season's SEC opener. Dioubate was booed practically every time he touched the ball and he finished with six points of 2 of 6 from the field with eight rebounds (four offensive) in 21 minutes.

2024-25 (Alabama): 37 games (no starts), 16.0 minutes, 7.2 points (.617/.462/.609 shooting splits), 5.9 rebounds (1.9 offensive), 1.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.7 blocks.

2025-26 (Kentucky): 31 games (10 starts), 21.6 minutes, 8.8 points (.542/.214/.652 shooting splits), 5.5 rebounds (2.2 offensive), 1.0 assists, 1.0 steals and 1.0 blocks.

Derrion Reid, Forward: Oklahoma

The McDonald's All-American dealt with a hamstring injury for a good chunk of the 2024-25 season, as the then-freshman missed 13 total games. Reid left Alabama for a fresh start, with hopes of utilizing his renowned athleticism and defense a bit more.

Like Dioubate, Reid faced his former team on Jan. 17, with the Crimson Tide coming out on top 83-81 in Coleman Coliseum. That said, Reid stood out with 16 points on 6 of 11 from the field and nine rebounds (5 offensive) in 28 minutes of action.

2024-25 (Alabama): 24 games (three starts), 14.0 minutes, 6.0 points (.450/.263/.579 shooting splits), 2.8 rebounds (0.9 offensive), 0.7 assists, 0.3 steals and 0.2 blocks.

2025-26 (Oklahoma): 35 games (35 starts), 27.1 minutes, 11.6 points (.502/.359/.758 shooting splits), 4.6 rebounds (1.6 offensive), 1.1 assists, 0.9 steals and 0.7 blocks.

Jarin Stevenson, Forward: North Carolina

Stevenson was the most brought-up name when Oats and the Crimson Tide were asked before the 2024-25 season started who was the most improved player. While the forward had seven games of 10-plus points, he only averaged 5.4.

Nevertheless, the then-sophomore was the age of a freshman last season, as he re-classed prior to 2023-24. In other words, Stevenson had plenty of time to develop and showed some progress at a blue-blood school like North Carolina.

2024-25 (Alabama): 37 games (22 starts), 18.7 minutes, 5.4 points (.439/.307/.597 shooting splits), 3.4 rebounds (1.0 offensive), 0.8 assists, 0.5 steals and 0.6 blocks.

2025-26 (North Carolina): 33 games (25 starts), 25.7 minutes, 8.1 points (.470/.295/.742 shooting splits), 4.4 rebounds (1.4 offensive), 0.9 assists, 0.6 steals and 0.7 blocks.
