Terrance Ferguson, a 6-6 senior guard who played at Prime Prep Academy in Dallas last season and is ranked No. 11 nationally, on Monday committed to Alabama over KU, North Carolina, Louisville, Baylor, SMU, Texas and others.
Ferguson attended KU’s Late Night in the Phog last year as part of an unofficial recruiting visit. He made an official visit to Alabama last week.
“I’m going to need to work on a lot and it’s a different level, just one below the NBA,” Ferguson told Rivals.com. “I need to get my body ready and get my mind right. I know that they want me to come in and make an instant impact and that’s what I want to try and do.
“I know I can shoot and I’m going to try and go ballistic on the scoring board and do everything I can to help get wins and make a name for Alabama.”
According to Rivals.com, Ferguson is the highest-ranked player to pick the Crimson Tide since Richard Hendrix was No. 9 overall in the class of 2005.
