Top -35 Wing Taris Baui Announced your commitment to Alabama On Wednesday, Krimson recruited his second top -50 of the week.
Bouie’s commitment comes after just two days Chris Washington JRChoose Alabama. The two players visited Tuskalosa in the last weekend and did not wait for a long time to commit to Nat Oats and Krimson Tide after returning home.
“Coach Oats recruited me hardly, and I really like his playing style,” Bau told ESPN. “Summer I remember that she is in almost every game of her. I really like her style style, it fits me. It was too big for me. They play fast, and in open court they shoot 3S and attack the basket.”
Baui created a strong relationship with Oats and Assistant Coach Preston Murphy, which Oats first called “Best Recruitors in the country”.
“My coach has very good relationships with Oats, and we often talk, and it was a big difference,” he said. “He is a real man. My assistant coach is also a strong relationship with Preston Murphy.”
The number 33 ranked player in ESPN100 had snatched his list to Alabama, Cincinnati, Georgetown, Markwate, Mississippi State, NC State, Ole Miss and Texas last month, but ended to travel only Alabama before taking the decision. During the July Nike Peach jam, the 6-Foot-7 wing, showing some shooting capacity by making five of their 12 3-point efforts, took an average of 15.5 points and 6.0 rebounds in this last spring and summer.
He is a talented scorer with versatility and makes crime easier with his natural tendency. The biggest impact of Bau comes in the open floor as he has the ability to put pressure on defense as a net scorer or playmaker. He displays a soft touch, explosive and can score at all three levels. Baui also has great potential at the defensive end, with its length, frame and instinct. He has shown signs of having a person who can switch and guard four positions. He will need to improve his strength to better absorb contact on his drive and finish, but when it comes to pure reverse and sheer talent, he is near the top of the classroom.
The 2026 group of Bouie Alabama consists of Washington Junior.
Washington, out of Providence Christian Academy (Tenasi), is likely to rank top rank in Tennessi state in the 2026 category. A 6 -Foot -9 further, Washington has been ranked number 41 in total in ESPN 100 and is considered one of the country’s elite athletes. He planned visits to Obern, Cincinnati, Florida A&M and Wilnoova, but ended his recruitment without taking those trips. Washington took an average of 12.3 points and 7.4 rebounds on the UAA circuit in this spring and summer, which performs a neck to play on aggressive glass and at the defensive end.
Bouie and Washington Alabama are the first two commitments in the 2026 class, who also hosted the top -30 point guard Eakena Aloji last weekend. Crimson Tide is expecting a large group of visitors in this coming weekend, with top -15 possibilities Kaleb Holt, Dialon mingo And Jackson richardson All are scheduled to travel to Tuskalosa.
