The Barn Hoops Podcast | STACKED: Auburn's Backcourt Takes Shape

Auburn Basketball has added another piece to its backcourt, with Kolby King joining the Tigers and giving Steven Pearl another experienced option heading into the 2026-27 season. The signing raises an even bigger question: how will Auburn’s backcourt hierarchy shake out? With Tahaad Pettiford and Kevin Overton the clear 1 and 2, George Kimble III, Caleb Williams, Simon Walker and King are all competing for roles to earn meaningful minutes.

The episode also looks beyond Auburn and examines where the Tigers stand nationally entering the season. With expectations building around the roster’s size, experience and defensive potential, national projections are beginning to paint a clearer picture of Auburn’s potential ceiling. How highly should the Tigers be ranked? Is this a legitimate SEC contender and NCAA Tournament team? And could Auburn be flying under the radar nationally? We break down the latest projections and what they mean for Pearl’s team.
