Taking your mind’s back to late-October, we took a pause in the middle of the college football season in order to take a look at just how every Alabama Crimson Tide transfer had performed up to that point in the year.
Well, now that were are approaching the midway point of the college basketball season as well, why not do the same thing for Alabama’s offseason transfers on the hardwood?
This past offseason, the Crimson Tide had a total of six players transfer from their Final Four team a year ago, which included two names who started games for Alabama. Some of these were among Alabama’s top players, while others did not necessarily see as much action with the Crimson Tide.
Here is a look at how each of those six names are performing so far this season with their respective new teams:
NOTE: Stats mentioned are current as of Monday, Dec. 23.

Beginning with arguably the biggest name, Griffin started 33-of-36 games for Alabama a year ago, and so far this season has started 7-of-10 games for the Kansas Jayhawks. Griffen however has not necessarily posted the same numbers as he did a year ago, averaging only 6.9 PPG on 33.3% shooting from three, with a majority of his statistics down across the board when compared to a year ago.
