Auburn Basketball’s 2025 recruiting class received a nice boost on Tuesday, as four-star guard Kaden Magwood announced he would be coming to the Plains next season. A consensus top 50 prospect in the class, Magwood is a 6-foot-1 guard that has 3-level scoring ability.
The No. 2 prospect from North Carolina spoke about how he sees a lot of himself in former Auburn guard Sharife Cooper when he listed Auburn in his top 3 back in October. While Magwood still believes in that comparison, he also mentioned the play-style of current Auburn guards Denver Jones and Tahaad Pettiford when explaining why he chose the Tigers.
The four-star guard is coming off an extremely impressive 23 points per game performance on the 3SSB circuit this summer. He’s sure to continue his dominant scoring performances this winter at Combine Academy. While he’s dominating the high school circuit, Magwood, along with Auburn’s other 2025 commit Simon Walker, will hope more top talents decide to come to the Plains next season.
The first of those commitments could come as soon as this Friday when Kiyan Athony makes his decision on Carmelo Anthony’s podcast. Auburn targets Sebastian Williams-Adams and Samis Calderon are also expected to decide on their commitment as soon as this week.
