Alabama adds Mohamed Wague from transfer portal

By WVUA 23 Sports Reporter Mason Thompson

Nate Oats and the Crimson Tide have dug even deeper into the transfer portal, with their fourth addition of the offseason.

Alabama picked up a commitment from West Virginia forward Mohamed Wague. Wague announced his decision on Instagram:

The 6-foot-10, 225-pound post player joins Grant Nelson, Aaron Estrada, and Latrell Wrightsell Jr. as transfers additions this offseason.

After the loss of Charles Bediako, the Crimson Tide needed size and have since added three players 6-foot-10 or higher with Grant Nelson, Jarin Stevenson and now what could be the final piece to the puzzle in Wague. Size seemed to be an issue for the Crimson Tide last year as the fell in the sweet sixteen and will look to not face the same fate this year.

Wague brings a lot of talent and length to the Crimson Tide and will look to grab boards and protect the paint this season.

In one season at West Virginia Wague averaged 4.1 points, 3.1 rebounds and 10.7 minutes per game while coming off the bench.
