Each and every time Phenom Hoops gets to report or see a commitment from a player we have seen over the years, it is always a fantastic day. It is great to see players achieve their goal to play at the next level and it is such a great accomplishment for that player. Here is the latest commitment.
Player: Tarris Bouie
Class: 2026
Committed to: Alabama
What Has He Said about Alabama:
“Nate Oats runs one of the fastest-paced offenses in college basketball — built on spacing, shooting, and toughness. I like how he lets his guys play with confidence and aggression. He and Coach Murphy haven’t missed a game, even if I was playing good or bad, and that sticks out to me, and they talk about developing me.” – Aug 2025
What Has Been Said by Phenom Hoops:
“2026 6’6 Tarris Bouie has been a prospect on our radar for some time now, as we noticed his potential early on. But watching him recently at the Phenom Fall League, one can clearly see that this is a young man clearly making the right strides and not only adding more to his game but also getting stronger as a player. Bouie certainly grabbed our attention with his frame and looking stronger overall, which has only helped him in an array of ways with his game. And the confidence continues to skyrocket as well, as he continues to flourish as an extremely strong scoring option that is able to light it up from deep, rise up over defenders with ease, and finish high at the rim. His energy and mentality change the game and with him growing more into his body, Bouie continues to take his game to another level. Expect him to be one of the premier talents once again in the state of North Carolina.”
“He’s a smart, skilled, athletic wing prospect with a long, wiry frame and obvious long-term appeal. Bouie is already a highly polished three-level scorer who understands how to effectively create for himself and others or find success without the ball. He’s a lethal shooting threat who opponents must stay attached to along the perimeter. However, Bouie can reliably attack closeouts, pull up off the bounce, finish at the basket, or set up others. He utilizes his length very well defensively to contain his assignment and force turnovers at a healthy rate. Bouie also isn’t afraid to involve himself in the rebounding battle and push the break in transition. Coach Williams on Bouie: “Tarris is a three-level scoring wing who should appeal to Division I coaches. Scores the ball in several ways, both in transition and the half court.” Bouie continues to impress with each new viewing and should only continue to blossom as a focal point for Chambers.” “At 6-foot-5, Bouie is steadily becoming one of the more dynamic players in North Carolina’s Class of 2026. He’s a high-level shooting threat from pretty much everywhere on the floor, yet is much more than a mere spot-up option. Bouie mixes up his scoring approach extremely well to highlight a healthy variety of finishes, pull-ups, and jumpers from beyond the arc. He’s great at creating space within a few dribbles, getting to his spots, and pulling up and converting over the outstretched arms of contesting defenders. Bouie also looks to attack closeouts whenever possible, where he’s shown vision, craftiness, and an understanding of how to make correct decisions. He finishes fairly well through contact and amidst traffic, but will become even better with physical development. Additionally, Bouie plays very well without the ball in his hands, both as a cutter and spot-up threat, and simply knows how to lead by example. He battles defensively, competes on the glass, and is capable of doing everything offensively.”
