Coming off the program's second consecutive Elite Eight appearance, there is no denying that this offseason will be an important one for the Alabama Crimson Tide.
Having made the NCAA Tournament each of last five seasons under head coach Nate Oats, the Crimson Tide will be only two seasons removed from the program's first-ever Final Four appearance, and will be tasked with replacing a few significant pieces from this past year's team. Some of those names were also prominent players on that Final Four team as well, and leave behind big holes on the roster that will need to be filled in order to make Alabama a contender once again next season.
Even despite those question marks however, Alabama's roster is already set to be loaded once again next season, with the Crimson Tide also set to likely continuing adding to that group this offseason via the transfer portal.
A post that will be updated throughout the offseason, here is a tracker of Alabama's action in the transfer portal, as well as the Crimson Tide's 2025-26 roster outlook overall.
