Jaden Bradley, a 6-foot-3 point guard out of Concord (N.C.) IMG Academy has committed to Alabama basketball for the class of 2022, he tells On3.

Bradley is the Crimson Tide’s first commitment of the class. Alabama is also targeting Rylan Griffen, Brandon Miller, Kimani Hamilton, Jarace Walker, Noah Clowney, among others.

Bradley ultimately chose Bama over Arizona, Florida State, Gonzaga, and Kentucky. He also received offers from Michigan, North Carolina, Kansas, Louisville, etc.

Furthermore, Bradley will be the primary ball-handler for the Tide next year. Alabama will likely lose JD Davison, Jahvon Quinerly, and Jaden Shackelford.

Scouting Report on Jaden Bradley

On3’s Senior National Recruiting Analyst Gerry Hamilton had this to say about Jaden Bradley:

“Jaden Bradley has the competitive piece, first. He takes on challenges and excels. He competes on both ends, and defends the ball with quickness and playing strength combination. Bradley plays strong with the ball on the offensive end as well. He can take a bump or hit, and still get to his spots. His strength is playmaking for others but has continually improved his ability to finish and get his own shot. He controls the game.”
