Nate Oats and the Alabama Crimson Tide continue to make a push for 2021 4-star guard Manny Obaseki, according to Jake Weingarten of Stockrisers.

The 6-2 combo guard, who attends Allen High School in Texas, recently picked up an offer from Alabama back in late September and is clearly a key target for Oats and his staff.

Baylor, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, TCU, Texas Tech, and Arkansas are among the other teams that have offered Obaseki.

He is rated as the No. 4 player in Texas and No. 30 player overall in the 2021 class, according to 247Sports.

Oats was able to secure a top 20 class in his first season in Tuscaloosa, and that should give him an opportunity to succeed right away given the amount of talent on the roster.
