## Resource

On today’s episode of The College Loop, we take a deep dive into Auburn Tigers men's basketball and map out exactly what the gameplan should be for Bruce Pearl and Steven Pearl as the transfer portal officially opens — how aggressive do the Tigers need to be, and what are the biggest roster priorities heading into the 2026 season? We break down the key needs, potential roster gaps, and what this offseason will ultimately say about the direction of the program. What positions are absolute must-adds? Where does Auburn need immediate impact talent? And how do you balance portal additions with developing the current roster? We’ll also talk about what a successful portal cycle looks like for Auburn, and how the Tigers can position themselves to compete at the top of the SEC and make a serious postseason run next year. All that and more on today’s episode of The College Loop. - Follow the Socials: Dylan: https://twitter.com/yaboithetank https://www.youtube.com/@tanktalksmovies?sub_confirmation=1 TCL: https://twitter.com/TheCollegeLoop https://www.instagram.com/thecollegeloop/ https://www.facebook.com/thecollegeloop https://open.spotify.com/show/2AUNlqiaUbB6PQBZmAEZVY?si=f5e7da56d1a54274 - Check out the Merch: Feeling Loopy shirt: https://the-war-rapport-shop.myshopify.com/products/feelin-loopy-t-shirt TCL Dad Hat: https://the-war-rapport-shop.myshopify.com/products/college-loop-dad-hat - TAGS: #Auburn #AuburnFootball #WarEagle #FeelinLoopy #CollegeBasketball #CollegeFootball #Alex Golesh #ByrumBrown #StevenPearl #TahaadPettiford Learn more about your ad choices.
