Can the rich get richer?

Auburn Basketball is rich in talent. Can they get richer? Yes. Here’s how.

Walker Kessler, Wendell Green Jr, Allen Flanigan, JT Thor, Jaylin Williams, Dylan Cardwell, Babatunde Akingbola, Jabari Smith, Trey Alexander, Zep Jasper, Devan Cambridge, and Chris Moore. Loaded. This is Auburn’s roster outlook for this coming season. Quite impressive. But, there’s still a spot or two for Bruce Pearl to fill.

Auburn missed out on 5-star 2021 point guard TyTy Washington’s final 6. The Tigers are out of running for him. But… There’s a 17 year old named Scoot Henderson. No matter where he goes to college, you’ll hear his name again. He is the next big thing in basketball.

Scoot Henderson is a 5-star point guard in the 2022 class. Auburn is highly favored to land him. While a commitment from Henderson would be great in any circumstance, Auburn fans are hoping he reclassifies to the 2021 class, and commits to Auburn.

The thought of reclassifying hasn’t yet been examined by Scoot. “I haven’t thought about that yet but I am going to try to talk it over with my family sometime soon if I will do that or not,”

There’s much buzz by fans that he will reclassify. Or at least deeply consider it. If Scoot Henderson reclassifies, the g-league is Auburn’s biggest competitor. The NBA g-league is a pro organization that allows players to play on a higher level of talent while getting paid a small amount. The g-league took last year’s top recruit Jalen Green away from Auburn. Green later said that he was going to Auburn before the g-league offered him.

Scoot Henderson would make Auburn a national championship caliber team, if they aren’t already. Scoot is going to be one of the biggest stars in the country. His play style is incredible. And I can confidentially say this… If Bruce Pearl were to land this guy, he would be the best point guard in Auburn history. Yes, better than Sharife Cooper and Jared Harper. Much better.

So will it happen? Only time will tell. The rich can get richer. Bruce Pearl’s #1 priority: Convince Scoot Henderson to reclassify and commit to the big AU.
