Alabama's Rebounding Force from SIU Transfer
Graduate transfer Bola Olaniyan has ignited Alabama's frontcourt as a relentless rebounder, exploding for 40 boards over his last three games including a monster 11-point, 16-rebound double-double vs. LSU—his third straight 10+ rebound outing—after averaging 8.8 rpg and leading the MVC in offensive rebounds (3.0) at Southern Illinois in his prior season. With career 6.1 rpg and 51.3% FG efficiency, this defensive standout (Alabama's Outstanding Defensive Player) brings gritty intensity and double-double reliability, making him a perfect plug-and-play fit for teams needing blue-collar toughness and second-chance dominance.
