“This class is historic,” said Pearl. “It started with Austin Wiley - about a year and a half ago - committing to us prior to his junior year. You might say that was a no brainer. His mom, Vickie, was an All-American. His dad, Aubrey, led the SEC in rebounding his senior year. Both of them are part of the Auburn Family, but Austin could’ve gone anywhere in the country. He had offers from everywhere, but he wanted to be an Auburn Man.
“More importantly, he wanted to start to lead even before he got here. He knew that his verbal commitment might attract others. All he’s done between then and now is work so hard to build his body to represent our country in international basketball and wear that USA jersey. Now, he’s going to come here and add to the history and legacy of his family.”
Mitchell, a four-star point guard from Georgia tweeted his announcement moments after Wiley.
