Report: Auburn PG Sharife Cooper Exploring Overseas Options amid Investigation

Auburn guard Sharife Cooper is reportedly exploring overseas options amid questions about his NCAA eligibility, according to Jeff Borzello of ESPN.

The incoming freshman reportedly "hasn't practiced in weeks."

Pat Forde of Yahoo Sports reported Cooper's eligibility is currently under investigation, while Jeff Goodman of Stadium added the player has not yet been cleared by the NCAA.

Auburn announced a self-imposed postseason ban Sunday for an unrelated matter dealing with former assistant coach Chuck Person.

Cooper was considered a 5-star recruit and the No. 24 overall player in the 2020 recruiting class, per 247Sports composite rankings.
