Auburn basketball: will Babatunde Akingbola start?

JT Thor and Dylan Cardwell are two targets who could (likely) contribute day one at center. However, they haven’t committed to Auburn.

Of the players already on Auburn’s roster, Babatunde “Stretch” Akingbola is the most likely to start.

I think Akingbola has a high ceiling, but last season he was a work in progress playing behind two seniors after missing the 2018-19 season.

This year we’ll see how well some of the things he did at the high school and AAU level translate to college.

Most of Akingbola’s ability ties into his size and athleticism.
