Alabama transfer Kris Parker explains decision to enter the portal
One day after reports emerged that Alabama‘s Kris Parker planned to enter the NCAA transfer portal, the forward announced his intentions to do just that.
Parker posted a short note to his Instagram account expressing his appreciation for what he learned with the Crimson Tide.
“After much consideration, I’ve decided to enter the transfer portal and explore other opportunities,” Parker wrote. “This year I learned and improved more than imaginable and for that I am extremely grateful to the Alabama staff, fans and community. The memories shared this year and Final Four run that was made is something I will always cherish forever. Thank you, and Roll Tide.”
Parker redshirted for Alabama during the 2023-24 season. He will have four years eligibility at his next program.
“With all that being said, next season I look forward to playing and carrying the winning mentality to my next program,” Parker wrote.
Kris Parker was a four-star recruit rated just outside the top 100 by On3 in the 2023 cycle. On3’s Industry Rankings had him as the No. 108 overall player in the class, as well as the No. 28 small forward and the No. 10 prospect out of Florida for his year.
He attended Crossroad Academy in Quincy, Florida as a high schooler before deciding to take his talents slightly north and join Nate Oats at Alabama.
On3 will have more on this developing story shortly.
