AUBURN, Alabama — Auburn football’s annual Big Cat Weekend starts next week.

It’s the biggest recruiting weekend of the year for the football program, and usually leads to several commitments over the summer months. It’s a weekend filled with fun activities and players changing their minds about the Tigers.

Maybe the Auburn basketball program needs to think about calling its first weekend in June its Big Baller Weekend. That seems to be the approach coach Bruce Pearl is taking this year, Auburn Undercover has learned.

At least seven recruits, including three 5-star prospects and three more players rated as the top player in their respective states, will visit with and coaches during a weekend of visits June 1 in Auburn, Auburn Undercover has learned. More players are expected to be added to the list in the coming days.

The stellar group is led by 5-star point guard Sharife Cooper, 5-star shooting guard Brandon Boston Jr. and 5-star center Walker Kessler. Cooper and Boston have emerged as Auburn’s top two targets over the last calendar year, with the two players out of Georgia garnering offers from the bluest of blue-blood programs, with the primary threat to Auburn being SEC rival Kentucky.

Auburn, fresh off its first Final Four appearance, is on a roll on the recruiting trail garnering interest from blue-chip prospects across the country, and not just in the Alabama and Georgia region, where the Tigers continue to focus most of their energy on the recruiting trail.

Kessler is an interesting prospect because of his strong ties to Georgia, where head coach Tom Crean is earning commitments from blue-chip prospects of late. Kessler’s father, brother and uncle played basketball at Georgia, and his mother attended Georgia in college. The prospect is an unabashed fan of Georgia sports, but has become a huge target for Pearl to try to convince to come to Auburn, where a low-post presence may be missing in 2020 and beyond.

Meanwhile, the No. 1 player in the state of Kentucky, Alabama and Mississippi are set to visit as well.

Two players in the class of 2021 are scheduled to visit, including 4-star point guard Daeshun Ruffin, who is the No. 1 player in Mississippi. He resides at Callaway High in Jackson. Forward Terran Williams out of Lee High in Marianna, Arkansas is not yet rated by major recruiting services for the class of 2021, but he will also visit, Auburn Undercover has learned.

3-star shooting guard Justin Powell is the state of Kentucky’s No. 1 player in the class of 2020. 3-star power forward Ronnie Gordon out of Lanier High in Montgomery is the No. 1 player in Alabama, and is actually rated a 4-star prospect by 247Sports analysts.

Well folks there is a whole slew of top talent arriving tomorrow for AU hoops but I want to highlight 4 dudes....

1. Cooper
2. Boston
3. Kessler
4. Brown (yes he will be here as well on an unofficial)

Folks that list includes four of the top 15 players in the country. The nations 1st or 2nd best PG (Cooper) the nations 1st or 2nd best PF (Brown) the nations top 3 Center (Kessler) and the nations 1st or 2nd SG (Boston)

Let that sink in a moment.

Cooper is a guy we have been on for years. His father is a coach for AOT and helped us land Okoro and Stretch while also coaching Boston who plays on AOT.

Boston loves playing with Cooper and has done so for years. We are right there with him and its easy to see why he would want to continue to play with the playmaking freedom in Cooper.

Kessler is a face the basket shoot the three Center with real height. We are right there with him as well. CBP is putting the full court press on this one. His family has a house at Lake Martin along with some other good things working well for us.

Browns father loves AU and last year kept telling him to look hard at AU. He wasn't really believing him until our run last year. Now he is very interested hence the visit.

Folks there is tons of more talent here this weekend spread until 2022 which all love what BP is doing........

For decades not one kid like this would have ever done anything other than laugh at AU and now we are on a totally different level.........

WDE!

Had no idea that Sweet Baby Sharife’s dad was a coach for the AOT squad. That could pay sweet sweet dividends in the future too

...don't even want to know what that "relationship" costs, but it may be worth more than a basketball only facility.
 
dude is a human highlight reel, i seriously doubt he chose stay in the draft unless he was told he was told by a club that he was gonna get picked and PAYED*
*$1 to @ricedp_105
Zero chance Tucker gets drafted unless all the predraft rankings are drastically off. He isn't listed anywhere in the top 100. He didn't even get a D league combine invite so its hard to imagine anyone using a pick on him.
 
If y’all steal the white bread kid from ky, he will score 30 a game against us every time we play.
 

welp - think it’s pretty clear he’s Shawn Marion’s long lost son... borderline out of control going to the basket, turning what should be easy buckets into way more difficult weird 2-3 foot spinning floaters and layups, Horace level excitement when he starts galloping towards the basket 60 feet away, blocking the same shot twice - once with each hand - and somehow still not controlling it

the last J’Von we signed late - seemingly out of nowhere - turned out to be an absolute delight, and this Javon looks like more of the same
