Alabama men's basketball coach Avery Johnson hopes to add one more player for the 2015 signing class and is targeting the big names among rising seniors.

Mustapha Heron, a 6-foot-5, 200-pound guard from Sacred Heart High School in Waterbury, Conn., took an unofficial visit to Alabama on Sunday, AL.com has confirmed through his coach, Jon Carroll.

He followed that with a visit to Marquette, according to CBSSports' Jon Rothstein.

Heron is rated as a five-star recruit, the No. 25 overall player in the country and the No. 3 combo guard.

He decommitted from Pittsburgh in April.

Earlier this year, 247Sports analyst Jerry Meyer said Heron has similarities to Los Angeles Clippers guard Lance Stephenson.

St. John's is also trending highly for Heron.
