Auburn basketball player preview series: Johni Broome
Auburn has shown tremendous success in the transfer portal under Bruce Pearl with former players like Walker Kessler, KT Harrell, Samir Doughty, and many more. Pearl and his staff went out this offseason and looks to continue that reign by getting a commitment from one of the top transfers on the market in Morehead State big man Johni Broome. The 6-foot 10 center from Plant City Florida, played two years at Morehead State where he averaged 15.4 points and 9.8 rebounds combined between those two years.
On April 4th, Broome entered his name into the transfer portal, and in just 26 days later, Broome committed to come play for the Auburn Tigers.
Broome played incredibly well in Auburn’s trip to Israel, in three games he averaged 17.7 points, 8 rebounds, and 3.3 blocks per games. With the departure of both Walker Kessler and Jabari Smith for the Tigers frontcourt, Broome joins the talented group and looks to enter a big role right away.
