Unlikely to play against UNC Youngblood (ankle) is nearing a return, but he remains "highly doubtful" to suit up against UNC on Wednesday, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Youngblood continues to approach a return from an offseason ankle injury, but he remains very unlikely to suit up Wednesday. The 6-foot-4 senior transfer from USF, will likely be called upon to fill an immediate starting role for the Crimson Tide following the news that Latrell Wrightsell (Achilles) will miss the rest of the season. In the meantime, Derrion Reid and Aden Holloway are expected to see expanded minutes.

The 6-foot-4 senior transfer from USF averaged 15.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists with the Bulls last season. With Latrell Wrightsell (Achilles) out for the season while Houston Mallette and Naas Cunningham are both expected to redshirt, Youngblood will likely take on a large role with the Crimson Tide upon making his debut.

Slated for December return Youngblood (ankle) will likely return to action in December, Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reports.
Impact Youngblood underwent surgery in the offseason after transferring from USF, and was previously reported to be expected to return for conference play. That timeline still checks out with a potential December return for the wing. Youngblood is coming off a career year with the Bulls, averaging 15.3 points, 2.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists on 45/41/82 shooting splits. He's slated to be a big-time contributor for the Tide upon his return.

Impact Youngblood was seen in a medical boot with a scooter earlier on Thursday, but he should be able to return on Jan. 8 when the Crimson Tide opens up conference play against South Carolina. The USF transfer averaged 15.3 points and shot 41.6 percent from the arc for the Bulls last season before making the switch to Alabama, and his status should continue to be updated as the season approaches.

The former USF transfer averaged 15.3 points per game for the Bulls last season before making the decision to head to Tuscaloosa. Youngblood's status will be worth monitoring moving forward through the offseason before the regular season starts up in November.
