Could Auburn basketball land Denver Jones?
Following Auburn's recent loss to Houston, the Tigers' recruiting efforts are expected to increase. Denver Jones, a 6-foot-4 shooting guard from Florida International University, has entered the transfer portal and Auburn is among the teams interested in him. Other notable programs interested in Jones include Arkansas, Missouri, Memphis, Miami, Georgia, Florida State, and LSU.
Jones, a native of New Market, Alabama, averaged 20.1 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.0 assists this season while shooting 47.8% from the field and 37.1% from three-point range. Prior to playing with FIU, he played for Garden City Community College.
Auburn is currently lacking in guard play and Jones' addition could be a significant improvement in that area. With only one signee so far, Aden Holloway, a four-star point guard and the No. 27 player in the 2023 recruiting class according to 247 Sports, it is expected to be a busy year for Auburn in the transfer portal. The team is likely to see roster changes this offseason, providing opportunities for fresh talent.
