Auburn Morning Rush: Basketball routs Louisiana, Justin Jones honored

Catch up on all the news around the Plains.

What a weekend it was on the Plains.

[autotag]Hugh Freeze[/autotag] showed just why there is so much excitement around Auburn football, successfully flipping three-star cornerback Colton Hood from Michigan State and three-star offensive lineman Tyler Johnson from Texas Tech.

The moves helped fire up the Auburn fans after the basketball suffered their first loss of the season against Memphis on Saturday.

Some of the biggest news happened off the field though, as Auburn is reportedly set to hire Ron Roberts as defensive coordinator and Philip Montgomery as offensive coordinator.

In addition to these stories, the women’s basketball team picked up yet another dominant win. This time over Louisiana 81-41 on Sunday and the football team honored walk-on Justin Jones for his hard work.
