Auburn set to host 2026 point guard Kota Suttle on Saturday

Suttle joins a long list of recruits that will be visiting the Plains for Auburn’s showdown with Kentucky.

Many will attend Saturday’s tilt between No. 12 Auburn and No. 20 Kentucky at Neville Arena, including several big-time recruits.

A long list of targets will be in town Saturday, including a 2026 point guard from Georgia. Jeffrey Lee of Auburn Live reports that [autotag]Kota Suttle[/autotag], a point guard from Wheeler High School in Marietta, Georgia, will visit Saturday to watch the Tigers face the Wildcats.

Suttle is new to the recruiting game, which means that he does not have a rating by any major recruiting service yet. However, he has received several offers from programs such as Georgia, Cincinnati, and George Mason. He tells Jamie Shaw of On3 that he wants to play for a program that will give him an early opportunity to make a name for himself.

“I want to go somewhere that has a rich winning history. Somewhere I can go and make an early impact, and win games, and develop me to get to the next, next level,” Suttle said. “I’m comfortable playing on the ball and off the ball, and at this point, coaches will be moving around, so I’ll look at style of play later.”

Suttle is one of six recruits that will be in town this weekend to check out the Auburn-Kentucky showdown. Several prospects joining Suttle this weekend are five-star guards [autotag]Caleb Holt[/autotag] and [autotag]Jasper Johnson[/autotag].

5-star shooting guard Caleb Holt to be in Auburn on Saturday

As Saturday’s game against Kentucky, Auburn basketball target and five-star shooting guard Caleb Holt is set to make a visit to the Plains.

[autotag]Caleb Holt[/autotag] has become one of the most prolific guards in the 2026 recruiting class, and as of late, he has been receiving some attention from a few high-power programs. Now, the five-star out of Buckhorn High School (Ala.) is making yet another trip to the Plains on Saturday.

Holt makes the trip back to Auburn to see the Tigers take on the Kentucky Wildcats in a game that will feature ESPN’s College Gameday as well. This is Holt’s first trip back to the campus since he last visited in September.

The race to land the dynamic shooting guard has been, and will continue to be very competitive. Amongst the big schools who have offered Holt are the likes of Alabama, Ole Miss and Houston, plus many others.

The Alabama native is currently topping the charts as the top-ranked recruit in the state according to the On3 industry ranking, is the No. 2 shooting guard and the No. 4 overall player in his class.

Should the Tigers land him soon, Holt would be the program’s first commit in the 2026 class.

Five-star forward Caleb Holt enjoys visit to Auburn

Auburn welcomed the state’s No. 1 player from the 2026 cycle over the weekend, and made quite the impression.

One of the state’s top small forwards from the class of 2026 paid a visit to the Plains last weekend and raved about his experience.

[autotag]Caleb Holt[/autotag], a five-star small forward from Buckhorn High School in metro Huntsville, visited Auburn over the weekend to take in practice as well as Auburn football’s game with Samford at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

In an interview with AuburnUndercover ($), Holt says that he enjoyed the intense practice that head coach [autotag]Bruce Pearl[/autotag] orchestrates, and the team’s “hate to lose” mentality.

Holt’s recruitment is starting to heat up, as he has received five offers to this point. Georgia, Alabama, and Ole Miss are among those who have offered, but the Tigers were the first to do so on April 11, 2022. As a freshman, Holt led the Buckhorn Bucks to the Class 6A championship and was voted as the classification’s Player of the Year by the Alabama Sports Writers Association.

Holt is the state of Alabama’s top prospect according to 247Sports for the class of 2026 and is the nation’s No. 4 player.

Multiple 5-star basketball prospects to visit Auburn this weekend

Bruce Pearl is looking to impress some of the top players in the country.

Two of the top basketball recruits in the country are set to visit Auburn this weekend according to a report from Auburn Undercover’s Jason Caldwell.

Five-star power forward [autotag]Bryson Tiller[/autotag] is the No. 6 player in the 2025 recruiting cycle and has been a major Auburn target for years. [autotag]Bruce Pearl[/autotag] and Auburn offered the Atlanta native a scholarship back in September 2021.

He is also the No. 4 power forward and No. 2 player from Georgia in the 247Sports composite ranking. The 6-foot-8, 210-pounder plays for Overtime Elite but has maintained his college eligibility and this will be his first known visit to Auburn.

The second visitor is five-star small forward [autotag]Caleb Holt[/autotag], the No. 5 player in the 2026 recruiting cycle. Holt is from New Market, Alabama and Auburn was the first school to offer him a scholarship in April 2022.

Holt visited Alabama last week and now it’s Auburn’s turn to convince him to stay home. He is the No. 2 small forward and No. 1 player from Alabama in the 247Sports composite ranking.
