Losing Emeka Opurum for the season has left Auburn basketball’s frontcourt even thinner, and it’s got Coach Pearl rethinking how he builds his roster. With new NCAA rules, Auburn can’t just add a replacement midseason—even if it’s due to injury. Pearl says they’re “locked in” with the current squad, though they’re still exploring if a junior college transfer could join. This situation is making the coaching staff reconsider leaving a roster spot open in the future for unexpected injuries. How do you think these new rules impact teams and players? Would you change the system? #Sports #AuburnBasketball #NCAABasketball
