The Recruiting Period in college basketball is over, and the Crimson Tide staff took full advantage of the window in the calendar to evaluate and offer some of the nation's top talent. Here's a look at the offers the staff extended in just the last week and, where applicable, their 247Sports scouting reports:

MarJon Beauchamp, 5-star SF, Seattle (Wash.) Garfield -- No. 6 SF, No 21 overall player in the country

247Sports scouting report:

Tons of physical upside with room to gain plenty of strength without losing athleticism. Extremely versatile wing with good size and very long arms. Plus athlete who has the lateral quickness and physical tools to guard multiple positions. Best offensively as a slasher and distributor although he has shown impressive progress as a shooter. Very good vision for the position. Handle and jumper could stand to improve. If they do, he projects as a contributor at NBA level.

Joshua Christopher, 5-star SG, Bellflower (Calif.) Mayfair -- No. 2 SG, No. 6 overall player in the country

247Sports scouting report:

Excellent strength and good length for a shooting guard. Functional athleticism. Makes plays in traffic. Has great body control and ability to make tough shots and shots off one foot. Solid ball handler. More scorer than passer but can distribute. Rebounds position. Has potential to be an outstanding, versatile defender. Has a high floor as a prospect.

Makur Maker, 4-star C, Orange (Calif.) Orange Lutheran -- No. 12 C, No. 67 overall player in the country

247Sports scouting report:

Very good size for a post with decent length and tremendous mobility. Extremely unique post prospect with legitimate perimeter skills. Plays with a high motor and has elite end-to-end speed for his size. Smooth stroke with range to three. Handles the ball very well for position. Shoot-first but has plus vision. Upside as rim protector and rebounder is elite. Could improve consistency, finishing with contact and shot selection while showing better commitment to defensive end. If everything comes together for him, he has a bright future in the NBA.
