Bruce Pearl's sudden retirement as the Auburn Tigers' head basketball coach on Monday stunned the sports world. Steven, Bruce's 38-year-old son, will be taking over on the Plains after serving as the team's defensive coordinator for the last several years.
While some Tiger fans still don't know what to make of it all, opposing teams are already working to take advantage of the 30-day window Auburn's roster has to hit the transfer portal. AU built their current roster through a few strategic recruiting grabs but mostly transfers. They're vulnerable, to say the least.
