TUSCALOOSA, Ala. — Alabama basketball received a boost, as South Florida transfer Chris Youngblood is set to make his debut against Creighton this weekend after undergoing ankle surgery in late September.
The sharp-shooting guard will be a welcomed addition to the floor, especially after Latrell Wrightsell Jr. suffered a ruptured Achilles tendon earlier this month. Alabama also burned Pepperdine transfer Houston Mallette’s redshirt, playing the senior guard in its most recent win at North Carolina.
Now that the reinforcements have arrived for the Tide’s backcourt, Nate Oats will have some decisions to make when crafting out a starting five. Friday, the head coach said those might come on a game-by-game basis.
