On April 22nd, Auburn just landed their first guard from the transfer portal. George Kimball III, a six foot two combo guard from Vanderbilt, committed Wednesday morning via social media. He sat out last season with an injury after transferring from Eastern Kentucky. Earlier this year at Eastern Kentucky in the 2024-25 season, Kimball put up 18 points, three assists, and close to three, steals per gain. That's the kind of scoring punch in playmaking Auburn's been eyeing. The Tigers needed depth and the back court behind returning starters, to hide Petty Ford and Kevin Overton. Rising sophomore Simon Walker is also coming back, but adding a proven score like Kimball fills a real gap. This March Auburn's initial move at the position and they're likely hunting more pieces to round out the roster. Officials say updates are coming soon on further developments. With Kimball stepping in, Auburn's looking sharper heading into next season, keep an eye on how he meshes with the crew.
