Steven Pearl has a lot to live up to as head coach of the Auburn Tigers.
His father, Bruce Pearl, took Auburn to the NCAA Tournament six times in 11 seasons while making two Final Fours. After taking over for the elder Pearl last offseason, Steven is now 0-1 when it comes to making the NCAA Tournament.
That makes this offseason very important for both him and the Auburn basketball program as a whole. The Tigers have to get it right both on the recruiting trail and in the transfer portal, and they landed a big portal win on Tuesday that could end up being very notable.
Sharpshooter Adam Olsen is planning on taking a step up from the Sun Belt to the SEC. Olsen made his decision to transfer from the South Alabama Jaguars to Auburn on Tuesday.
