Former Auburn guard set to visit Alabama basketball
Alabama basketball is set to play host to a former Auburn guard.
Aden Holloway is set to visit the Crimson Tide this week after playing one season for the Tigers, a source told The Tuscaloosa News.
Holloway is a 6-foot-1, 178-pound guard from Charlotte, North Carolina. He averaged 7.3 points, 1.5 rebounds and 2.7 assists this past season on the Plains. He went 82-for-258 (31.8%) from the field and 52-for-172 (30.2%) from deep.
The 247Sports Composite listed him as a five-star prospect in the 2023 recruiting class. He was the No. 4 point guard and the No. 18 overall player in the class. He played for Prolific Prep in Napa, California, in high school. His efforts in high school earned Holloway McDonald's All-American status in 2023.
“Aden is a special winner," Auburn coach Bruce Pearl said in a statement in Holloway's Auburn bio. "He has a high basketball IQ and the unique ability to create for himself and others. People just love playing with him."
Alabama seems to be trending to add another point guard this cycle. The Crimson Tide already has added Houston Mallette and Chris Youngblood at the guard spot, but those two figure to be more shooting guards than point guards.
