Breaking: Liberty guard Avery Mills commits to Alabama Crimson Tides women’s basketball out of transfer portal

Alabama Crimson Tide women’s basketball has landed a major addition from the transfer portal as Avery Mills, a standout guard from Liberty Flames women’s basketball, officially commits to the Crimson Tide. The move gives Alabama another experienced backcourt presence as the program continues building momentum heading into the upcoming season.

Mills brings proven scoring ability, leadership, and versatility after an impressive run at Liberty. Known for her quick first step, perimeter shooting, and defensive intensity, she quickly became one of the most reliable guards in her previous program. Her ability to create offense both on and off the ball makes her an immediate impact addition for Alabama’s backcourt rotation.

The Crimson Tide coaching staff targeted Mills early in the transfer process, identifying her as a player who fits perfectly into their fast-paced style of play. Her experience at the collegiate level also provides Alabama with valuable maturity and composure, especially in high-pressure conference matchups. This addition signals Alabama’s continued commitment to strengthening its roster through the transfer portal.

Mills’ decision comes after strong interest from multiple programs, but Alabama ultimately stood out due to its vision, coaching philosophy, and opportunity for immediate playing time. The Crimson Tide’s upward trajectory and competitive SEC environment played a major role in her commitment. She is expected to compete for a starting role right away.

Fans are already buzzing about what Mills brings to the floor. Her scoring ability, ball-handling, and defensive toughness will complement Alabama’s existing talent. With her arrival, the Crimson Tide adds another dynamic weapon capable of stretching defenses and creating opportunities for teammates.

This commitment marks another major step forward for Alabama women’s basketball as the team continues building toward a strong season. With Avery Mills now officially on board, the Crimson Tide’s backcourt looks deeper, faster, and more dangerous than ever — and expectations in Tuscaloosa just got even higher.
