Jay Jacobs made a splash when he brought Bruce Pearl to the Plains.
It hasn't taken long for the first year coach to make a splash on the recruiting trail.
Power forward Cinmeon Bowers, the nation's number one junior college recruit as listed by 247Sports, announced his commitment to Auburn on his Twitter account Sunday morning.
The Marianna, Fla. native was previously committed to play at Florida State but was released from his commitment after a January arrest. Bowers was charged with tampering with evidence after he was found eating marijuana during a traffic stop.
In addition to FSU and Auburn, Bowers had offers from Memphis and Louisville.
A four-star recruit out of high school, the 6-foot-6 Bowers was unable to become academically eligible and instead played at Chipola Junior College in Florida.
Bowers will likely be the first recruit signed during the Bruce Pearl era at Auburn.
