West Virginia forward transfer Mohamed Wague will be taking an official visit to Alabama, according to On3’s Joe Tipton. Wague will be in Tuscaloosa on Saturday and Sunday.

Wague is currently on an official visit to Kansas State. Earlier in the week, Wague took an official visit to DePaul.

The native of Mali began his college career at Harcum College in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania. Before transferring to West Virginia, Wague was named a Junior College All-American. He averaged 14.8 points per game, 11.9 rebounds per game, and 1.7 assists per game.

In one season at West Virginia, he averaged 4.1 points per game, 3.1 rebounds per game, and 0.3 assists per game. Wague shot 74.2% from the field and 53.3% from the free throw line.

The best game of Wague’s career with the Mountaineers came on Dec. 31 against Kansas State. He scored 10 points, grabbed 10 rebounds, and blocked three shots.

With Alabama losing Noah Clowney and Charles Bediako to the NBA Draft, the Tide coaching staff has been looking to add frontcourt reinforcements. Wague is raw in some areas but can effectively protect the rim and grab rebounds. That is something that Alabama could use heading into next season given the fact that there is no true center on the team.

Roll Tide Wire will continue to follow the Alabama basketball program and its involvement in the transfer portal.
