Auburn Tigers. Basketball School.

Layden Blocker, one of the top point guards in the country, announced his top schools Sunday and Auburn is one of the seven finalists.

His final seven schools are Auburn, Memphis, Baylor, Kansas, Gonzaga, Arkansas and Oklahoma State.

The 6-foot-2, 195-pound Blocker is the No. 15 point guard and No. 95 overall recruit in the 2023 class per 247Sports. He is from Maumelle, Arkansas and officially visited Auburn on Oct. 9.

Blocker spoke with Travis Branham of 247Sports about what stands out about each of his final schools, here is what he had to say about Auburn.

“Coach BP motivates his players and if a coach motivates you then that gets you pumped up so they play with a lot of energy with defense translating into offense. They play fast and up-tempo. Their guards have freedom in their offense too. Sharife Cooper he went there and he controlled the offense. They put people where they need to be so that is what stands out to me about Auburn.”
