Auburn basketball offered top combo guard in Class of 2024

Auburn basketball HC Bruce Pearl has had an incredible offseason — Julian Phillips’ Tennessee commitment and all.

It’s set to get even better at the end of this month when Jabari Smith and Walker Kessler likely make up the first NBA Draft in history to feature several Auburn Tigers selected in the first 30 picks.

In order to keep it going, the pipeline needs to be stocked for years to come. With Pearl in tow, of course it is.

On Wednesday night, the Tigers offered Class of 2024 junior-to-be Dylan Harper of Don Bosco in Ramsey, New Jersey:

As On3’s Jeffrey Lee relayed, Harper is the No. 1 combo guard in his recruiting class:

So far, Harper has been offered by the likes of Georgetown, Indiana, Radford, Tulane, Mizzou, Texas Tech, his home-state’s Power Five program, Rutgers, and his home-state’s Cinderella Elite Eight entry, St. Peter’s.

Auburn basketball is the home of talented sweet-shooting combo guards

Jared Harper. Sharife Cooper. Wendell Green Jr. The success of these players is what Dylan Harper should be viewing as possible under Bruce Pearl as a mere floor. Those guys all had success at six-foot-one or less. Cooper is six-foot-five and a shade under 200 pounds with plenty of time to grow.

By the time the Class of 2024 is on campus, the Tigers HC could well have a lineup of all prospects of four stars or more. Harper could have a legitimate chance to be the next great shooting guard on the Plains.

Harper is a testament to the vision Pearl had when he signed on the dotted line eight years ago with the goal of making Auburn an everything school.
