Auburn Morning Rush: Tigers miss out on in-state recruit, Bruce Pearl recognizes center

Recruiting has its ups and downs in this edition of the Auburn Morning Rush.

Happy Wednesday, Auburn fans.

This Morning Rush kicks off on a bit of a sour note for fans of the Tigers, as Auburn has missed out on a recruit from its own backyard (almost literally). The baseball team has made up for this, however, by securing an Alabama pitcher for its 2023 recruiting class from the state of Alabama. In other news, coach Bruce Pearl has named his “Heart of the Tiger” for the team’s first victory against George Mason and the women’s basketball team got a first-win of its own on Wednesday.
