Bruce Pearl's second recruiting class at Auburn got stronger Sunday, as five-star guard Mustapha Heron committed to the Tigers while on an unofficial visit to the school.
Heron, the No. 23 player in the class of 2016, also had offers from national basketball powerhouses such as Kentucky, Kansas, Connecticut, and Marquette.
The 6-foot-5 shooting guard out of Waterbury, Connecticut didn’t plan on committing to Pearl and the Tigers, but “I got a vibe here that I didn’t get at any other schools that I visited,” Heron told Evan Daniels of Scout.com. “It was a family-oriented thing.”
Heron joins four-star point guard Jared Harper and three-star power forward Anfernee McLemore in Auburn’s 2016 recruiting class, which vaulted up to seventh in the nation following Heron’s commitment, per 247sports.
