Auburn is once again trying to land a shooting guard from one of their top rivals.
Georgia transfer [autotag]Kario Oquendo[/autotag] included the Tigers as one of his four finalists on Thursday. He also included Utah, Oregon, and Nebraska.
The 6-foot-4 guard averaged 14 points and 3.5 rebounds per game in two seasons as a Bulldog. He spent one season at Florida SouthWestern prior to his time at Georgia.
He played against Auburn three times as a Bulldog and scored a combined 52 points, finishing in double figures in each contest.
Following the departures of [autotag]Wendell Green Jr.[/autotag] and [autotag]Chance Westry[/autotag], Auburn has heavily pursued veteran guards who can score in the transfer portal. Other targets are Denver Jones (FIU) and Damian Dunn (Temple).
I am extremely grateful for all the schools that reached out showing interest in recruiting me but going forward I will be prioritizing these 4 schools :🐅🦅🦆🌽
