Although Auburn basketball’s roster is pretty stacked for the 2021-22 season, the de-commitment of four-star signee Trey Alexander makes room for another signee for Bruce Pearl.

What was once the second-most highly ranked commit for the Kentucky Wildcats’ recruiting class of 2021 is now a top recruit looking for a new home. Ranked the No. 4 recruit in the class of 2021 and the No. 1 recruit out of the state of Utah, Nolan Hickman backed out of playing for John Calipari’s Wildcats next season, and re-opened his recruitment at the end of April.
