The Auburn Observer Justin Ferguson, Dan Peck and Painter Sharpless

Justin, Dan and Painter discuss a wide range of Auburn basketball topics, headlined by the signing of transfer Ja'Heim Hudson. They talk about Hudson’s reptilian nickname, what he brings to the table for the Tigers and why Bruce Pearl went with fit over numbers in the frontcourt.
The second half of the episode tackles the topics of Auburn’s hunt for another guard in the transfer portal, the talk of the toughest non-conference schedule in the Pearl Era and how Johni Broome never considered the transfer portal.
