Auburn Basketball has an Early Lead Over Alabama in 2024 Recruiting
No. 1 in-state prospect Labaron Philon committed to the Auburn Tigers on Friday, giving them their third player in the 2024 class.
The four-star point guard from Baker High School in Mobile, Alabama, is ranked as the sixth-best at his position and No. 40 prospect in the country.
Auburn also added four-star point guard Tahaad Pettiford, the consensus fourth-best at his position on Wednesday. On Dec. 9, they signed four-star center Peyton Marshall, the consensus No. 11 ranked big man in the nation.
Alabama has yet to bring anyone into the 'blue collar' program, but four-star power forward Donnie Freeman is favored to join, per On3 Recruiting. Freeman is the consensus No. 6 power forward in the country and top-ranked prospect Washington D.C.
Freeman took his official visit to Tuscaloosa on Jan. 25.
The St. John's College High School junior is listed as a power forward on 247 Sports and On3, but he lists himself as a six foot, eight inch, shooting guard. He has the length to snatch blocks, including a game-sealer against IMG Academy, and can shoot from downtown.
Freeman hasn't announced his commitment date at this time. However, he is still touring other schools
