3 players Auburn basketball and coach Bruce Pearl can look to add via the transfer portal

AUBURN — After Auburn basketball lost to Houston in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on March 18, coach Bruce Pearl made one thing clear: There is no true offseason for a Division I coach.

Pearl, who just completed his ninth season leading the Tigers, can't afford to take his foot off the gas when it comes to roster construction.

"I'm proud of this team," Pearl said. "But if you know me, I'm on to the next play. And I'll be recruiting tonight."

Auburn has reportedly been in touch with a number of players in the transfer portal. The Tigers should have ample amount of scholarships to work with, too, considering Zep Jasper is out of eligibility, Yohan Traore announced he is entering the portal and Chance Westry is reportedly following suit.go crazy auburn shirt
