Scott Kane / USA TODAY Sports
Alabama picked up a late transfer to bolster its frontcourt Monday night.
Former Southern Illinois center Bola Olaniyan told Jeff Goodman of ESPN that he will be joining the Crimson Tide for his final year of eligibility.
Olaniyan will give Avery Johnson and company some solid depth, as the senior posted 7.8 points and 8.8 rebounds per game last season.
Since Olaniyan is a graduate transfer, he'll be eligible to hit the floor for the Crimson Tide immediately.
