Auburn basketball head coach Bruce Pearl is going to be forced to do some juggling with his team during the offseason. With players headed to the transfer portal and new signees on their way in, Pearl may still need to add a few bells and whistles to the 2021 roster.
The Tigers are losing Javon Franklin, Justin Powell, and Jamal Johnson to the transfer portal. Justin Powell recently announced that he’ll be continuing his career in Knoxville with the Tennessee Volunteers, and Jamal Johnson announced pretty quickly after entering the transfer portal that he will be heading up to UAB.
