Auburn – Sharife Cooper

"“We told you that Jared Harper was going to be worth the price of admission, and you could say that again when it comes to Sharife Cooper,” Bruce Pearl, Auburn Head Coach"

Auburn’s been in the run for some of the prospects in the nation, including Jalen Green, the G-League new program’s biggest signing. Despite the miss, they will treat Tiger fans to one of the best floor generals the 2020 class has to offer in Sharife Cooper.

You can catch Cooper making dropping draws jaws plays on high school’s largest platforms. If not for a pandemic we’d see him in his final high showcase the McDonalds All American Game. If that doesn’t impress, just look at his resume, filled with Georgia player of the year awards, a state title, and a winner at all stages.

Auburn is bringing in the 7th ranked recruiting class thanks to headliners Cooper and JT Thor. The latter’s signature rose Auburn 11 spots in class rankings. Cooper will be the program’s second 5 star recruit. He’ll edge out former tiger and current St. Johns senior Mustapha Heron as the school’s top recruit ever. Bruce Pearl and Co. made history around the board with these signings, giving Auburn its first top ten recruiting class.
