Alabama Lands Four-Star 2027 Center Yohane Kabongo Over Tennessee, Mississippi State
TUSCALOOSA, Alabama — The University of Alabama men's basketball program added another piece to its 2027 recruiting class on November 8, when 6-foot-9 center Yohane Kabongo announced his commitment to Alabama, choosing the Crimson Tide over Tennessee and Mississippi State.
Kabongo, a native of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, attends DME Academy in Daytona Beach, Florida. ESPN ranks him the No. 67 prospect and the No. 10 center in the 2027 class. He visited Tuscaloosa over the weekend of October 24 and later took trips to Tennessee and Mississippi State before deciding on November 8.
His commitment gives Alabama three pledges in the 2027 class: five-star guard Chase Lumpkin committed on September 9 and five-star forward Zion Green on October 31, with Kabongo and Green both frontcourt players. Head coach Nate Oats is building the future roster while coaching the 2026-27 season.
