Auburn picks up commitment from JUCO guard out of Texas

After Auburn lost star G Mustapha Heron this offseason, there was an opening in the Tigers’ backcourt for the 2018-19 season.

Now, the Tigers have filled that hole, dipping into the junior college ranks to land J’Von McCormick, a talented scorer out of Lee College in Texas.

As you can see in the post below, McCormick announced his decision on Instagram on Tuesday evening:

Want to thank all the schools that recruited me, Specially Coach Pearl and Flannigan for giving me the opportunity to be apart of a family and great team while making history!! #wareagle 🔵🔶 @auburnmbb @auburntigers @flanago

McCormick averaged 18.5 points, 6.4 assists and 5.3 rebounds per game while playing in 28 contests for Lee College last year.

McCormick will be eligible to play right away, and he’ll join a backcourt that includes returning starters Jared Harper and Bryce Brown.
