""Coach Oats recruited me hard, and I really like their style of play," Bouie told ESPN. "Over the summer I remember him being at almost every one of my games. I really like their style of play, it fits me. That was big for me. They play fast, and in the open court they shoot 3s and attack the basket.""
"Bouie, the No. 33-ranked player in the ESPN 100, had trimmed his list to Alabama, Cincinnati, Georgetown, Marquette, Mississippi State, NC State, Ole Miss and Texas last month, but ended up making just the Alabama trip before deciding. The 6-foot-7 wing averaged 15.5 points and 6.0 rebounds on the Nike EYBL circuit this past spring and summer, while showing some shooting ability by making five of his 12 3-point attempts during July's Nike Peach Jam."
Tarris Bouie, a top-35, 6-foot-7 wing and No. 33-ranked player in the ESPN 100, committed to Alabama, becoming the Crimson Tide's second top-50 recruit that week after Chris Washington Jr. Both prospects visited Tuscaloosa last weekend and committed shortly after returning home. Bouie credited coach Nate Oats' persistent recruiting and the program's fast, 3-point-oriented, open-court style as key fits. He described a strong relationship with Oats and assistant Preston Murphy. Bouie trimmed his final list to eight schools but made only the Alabama visit before deciding. He averaged 15.5 points and 6.0 rebounds on the Nike EYBL circuit, hitting five of 12 threes at Peach Jam.
