Early this morning, there were rumors that SG Corban Collins would be joining the Tide for the 2016-17 season:
Alabama basketball lands graduate transfer guard | AL.com
Morehead State graduate transfer guard Corban Collins is transferring to Alabama, sources told AL.com. The 6-foot-3, 190-pound Collins, who began his college career at LSU, averaged 11 points per game as a redshirt junior at Morehead State last season.
The University followed with an official announcement:
OFFICIAL: We have received scholarship papers for gradaute transfer Corban Collins! Full story to come! #RollTide #BuckleUp

Collins is a classic two-guard who adds a much-needed shooter in the backcourt, managing 42.5% from three-point range in 2015-16. He will be eligible immediately for his final season.
Welcome and Roll Tide, Corban!
