On Saturday, Auburn basketball head coach Bruce Pearl landed another big commitment from Austin Wiley, a highly-coveted five-star recruit, to play for the Tigers in 2017.
Wiley, a 6-9 center from Spain Park, Ala., announced his early decision on Twitter.
I'm proud to say that I will be furthering my education and basketball career at Auburn University 🐅🔵🏀 #WarEagle

Following in the footsteps of his parents, Wiley committed to Auburn over top programs including Duke, Kansas and North Carolina.
Wiley, ranked no. 38 in the ESPN 60 of the 2017 class, now joins the Tigers as the sixth ESPN-ranked prospect to commit to Auburn since Pearl took over the program.
