Big recruiting news on Friday as in-state prospect Kira Lewis (6'3, 160 lbs, Hazel Green, AL) reclassified to 2018, and committed to Alabama. The addition of Lewis improves Alabama's 2018 class to 24th in the 247 team rankings.

Alabama fans on social media (and elsewhere) are obviously excited about this news. Lewis was considered a top target - maybe THE top target - for the staff in 2019. Now, not only does he commit, but Alabama gets him a year early. His arrival will also serve a very real need at point guard with the departure of Collin Sexton.

Lewis will enroll immediately so he should be available when the season tips off on November 6th. Garrett Tucker of Hoopseen wrote a quick story about Lewis in the aftermath of his commitment. Click the link to check it out.
