Basketball Spotlight Alum Selects University Of Alabama

Basketball Spotlight Alum Jaren Sina has made an early verbal commitment to the University of Alabama. Sina participated in several Basketball Spotlight tournaments and showcases including the Elite 80 Expo and All Stars Classic. He finished #7 in our Class of 2013 Top 100 rankings.

According to his father and summer coach, Mergin Sina, the Alabama staff stressed family and that sealed the deal.

"The biggest thing to us was a sense of family and Coach Grant and his staff brings that. Every one of those coaches treat Jaren likes he's one of their own," the elder Sina told Rivals.com affiliate BamaOnline.com. "So I know that when he is at Alabama he's going to have someone there to look out and take care of him. Also we believe in what Alabama is doing. Coach Grant wants a certain kind of chemistry and Jaren fits that mold."

Basketball Spotlight would like to congratulate Jaren and his family on his college selection. We will continue to bring you news on our alumni because we are very proud of these youngsters.
