Alabama added a major piece to its 2020 recruiting class on Friday morning in 247Sports five-star combo guard Josh Primo.

Nate Oats and company beat out teams like Creighton, Ohio State, and Oregon to land the Canadian talent’s commitment.

247Sports ranks the 6-foot-6 Primo the No. 7 combo guard and the No. 27 overall player in the country.

BamaOnLine caught up with 247Sports’ national analysts Evan Daniels and Jerry Meyer to get their take on what Alabama is getting in Primo:

Daniels:

"Primo is a really impressive guard prospect because of his combination of size, skill and shot making ability. He brings versatility and ability to impact the game whether he’s playing on or off the ball.

Primo’s game has developed significantly over the last 12 to 18 months, and he’s getting more and more comfortable playing with the ball in his hands. His ability to shoot from three, really helps open his floor game because you give him space.

While the skill has continued to develop as has his feel for the lead guard position, his biggest strength at this stage is his shooting ability. Primo has good mechanics, impressive footwork and deep range on his shot.

This is arguably Nate Oats best recruit as a college head coach. This is a big deal for Alabama and their program. He’s that type of recruit."

Meyer:

"I love the fluidity of his game. He has an athletic burst to go along with great body control. The length is impressive for a ball handling shooting guard as well. Does need to develop a more physical side to his game, but the upside is high for him in all aspects of the game."

Primo is commitment No. 2 of the 2020 class for the Tide, joining fellow Canadian Keon Ambrose-Hylton who signed with the Tide in November.

Earlier this week Nate Oats talked about the Tide's recruiting strategy in the current Dead Period:

“Recruiting is obviously one of those things that’s changed. If everything was status quo and normal, I’d be flying all over the place trying to get my face in front of players right now, whether they be transfers, JUCOs, high schoolers, anywhere. What ideally this roster looks like is multiple skilled players all over the floor. That’s kind of how we’ve won in the past. … At this level, we need to get better players than what we had at Buffalo here at Alabama, but we’d like to get more guards and big guards that can play. We want more guys that can pass, dribble and shoot all over the floor. We want more bigs that can shoot -- pass, dribble and shoot, to be honest with you. So, we’re looking at every possible angle there is. We’re talking to high school kids that we’ve been tracking for a while. We’re talking to JUCO guys that we’ve been tracking for a while. We’re talking to transfers that have just become available here in the last week or two. We’re looking at all of it."
