Fresh off a weeklong trip to Israel, Bruce Pearl is feeling a bit biblical, at least when it comes to the makeup of Auburn’s basketball roster for next season.
As of Monday, when Pearl met with reporters ahead of his annual Fore the Children Golf Classic in Alexander City, Auburn is expected to have 12 of its 13 available scholarships filled for next season following a prompt offseason roster reload.
People are also reading… Heading into his ninth season at the helm for Auburn, Pearl seems satisfied with where his roster sits at this juncture of the offseason. Reloading after losing the best frontcourt in college basketball and two first-round picks — including the potential No. 1 overall selection in next month’s NBA Draft — in Smith and Kessler, is no easy task, but Pearl has been economical in his approach to retooling the Tigers’ roster.
Auburn added Traore, a five-star combo forward and top-25 player in the 2022 class, after the 6-foot-10 big man decommitted from LSU in the wake of Will Wade’s firing in March. His commitment came on the last day of March. Then, on the final day of April, the Tigers added Broome – last year’s Ohio Valley Defensive Player of the Year — from the transfer portal. Broome signed with Auburn later that day and officially withdrew his name from the NBA Draft two weeks later.
That was the last major prospect on the board for Auburn, which will continue to assess its available options with regards to the final roster spot. Whether the Tigers choose to use that scholarship will depend in part on whether Flanigan withdraws from the NBA Draft in the next week.
