Bruce Pearl discusses addition of Walker Kessler, how he's fitting in with Auburn
The Auburn Tigers landed a huge commitment this offseason from North Carolina transfer big man Walker Kessler.
Kessler, who grew up near Auburn over the Georgia state line, will fill a big role in the post for Bruce Pearl’s squad this coming season.
On Monday night, Pearl shared his thoughts on Kessler and how he’s transitioning to Auburn. He said the big man is fitting in well with his new squad:

“Walker’s home,” Pearl said of the Georgia native. “It’s an hour from his doorstep to our campus. … He’s really in a good spot.”
Kessler will be counted on in a big way this season. We’ll see if he can put up some solid numbers during the 2021-22 season.
We are the most stacked team in the SEC according to several analysts. It’s gonna be a great year.
Yeah right first beat that school out west next to the state penitentiary before anything else matters.
Not really worried about them or any particular team. Pearl is the man!
I don’t think they are the most stacked team talent wise, but they have enough to compete with anyone. In basketball, it’s all about chemistry. Pearl has assembled some great talent, now they have to put it all together.
I’m still pissed my Dawgs did not try to hire Pearl after his NCAA exile was over and how is that he got exiled by lying to the NCAA and Will Wade is still coaching? What?
