The Auburn basketball team has been on fire in the recruiting process lately, picking up major talent from the NCAA transfer portal. However, Bruce Pearl could not beat out the G-League Ignite for class of 2021 recruit Scoot Henderson.
Henderson has officially made the decision to bypass the collegiate route and head straight to the pros, making him the youngest professional basketball player in history at the age of 17. The point guard has reclassified to the class of 2021 and committed to the G-League Ignite, a development team for NBA prospects.
