Auburn basketball was dealt another blow in a season full of them when it was announced Tyrell Jones is transferring to South Alabama.
The Auburn football program just had a four-star recruit stolen away on Christmas Day by the University of Alabama. Now, the Auburn basketball program is also having a top recruit poached, as the man they call “Turbo” is putting on the jets and heading to Mobile, Alabama to play a starring role on South Alabama of the Sunbelt Conference.
The Tigers actually picked up a win over South Alabama earlier this season, and have won two consecutive games against Sun Belt opponents, beating Troy and Appalachian State by a combined 52 points to close out the non-conference portion of the schedule.
