The Tigers have had an interesting offseason — to say the least.
Auburn watched its leading scorer and rebounder, [autotag]Jabari Smith[/autotag] and [autotag]Walker Kessler,[/autotag] respectively, declare for the 2022 NBA draft.
Then the unexpected took hold of the program.
The first surprise came in the form of a transfer. Rising senior Devan Cambridge announced his plans to enter the transfer portal. Not long after, Devan announced he planned to team with his older brother Desmond at Arizona State.
More surprising news came along when both [autotag]Allen Flanigan[/autotag] and [autotag]Dylan Cardwell[/autotag] entered the NBA draft. Neither hired an agent, so they have maintained their eligibility. It certainly isn’t the end-all-be-all, but many Auburn fans didn’t expect that.
Two weeks ago, the coaching staff successfully lured Morehead State transfer Johni Broome. However, they lost their bid for 2023 five-star Julian Phillips, who committed to Tennessee.
As a result, Auburn has some scholarship spots still up for grabs. Both Flanigan and Cardwell are likely to return. If that is the case, two scholarship spots remain. Today, Auburn Wire takes a look at some of the players head coach [autotag]Bruce Pearl[/autotag] should target in the transfer portal.
