Auburn basketball locks in visit with four-star wing Alex Egbuonu
Auburn basketball is working to fill out its 2026 class, and one of its major targets has locked in a visit for November. Alex Egbuonu, a four-star wing from Groton, Massachusetts, has revealed his official visit schedule for the fall. The talented forward will visit Auburn during the weekend of Nov. 1-3, concluding his string of visits that includes Boston College, Georgetown, Florida State, Stanford, and Providence. In an interview with Dushawn London of 247Sports, Egbuonu outlined his recruitment and commitment timeline, as well as what he is looking for in a college home. "The decision will probably come sometime after Christmas," Egbuonu said. "It'll come down to development, relationships with the coaches, and just knowing who I'm going to be with for the season and making sure it's right for me and my family." Bruce Pearl and the Tigers are in a great spot to land Egbuonu, according to Rivals. Rivals gives Auburn a 14.5% chance to land the small forward from Massachusetts, behind Marquette and Xavier. What helps Auburn in this case is that Egbuonu has not scheduled an official visit to Xavier and has already visited Auburn once, unofficially. The 6-6 forward is "built like a football player with a super-powerful upper body, long arms, and good hands according to a scouting report from 247Sports' Adam Finkelstein. Expect Auburn to continue working to sign Egbuonu to be a part of what could be a great signing class for Auburn in 2026. Pearl and the Tigers are also pursuing top talent such as guards Neiko Munday and Colben Landrew, as well as forward Jalan Wingfield.

VIDEO: Neymar breaks down in tears after Philippe Coutinho-inspired Vasco da Gama annihilate Santos in Serie A relegation six-pointer as head coach Cleber Xavier is immediately sacked
Neymar breaks down after defeat Coutinho scored twice Xavier sacked after 6-0 defeat Follow GOAL on WhatsApp! 🟢📱 WHAT HAPPENED? Neymar was seen crying after his Santos side suffered an embarrassing 6-0 defeat at the hands of Vasco da Gama, one of their relegation rivals in the Brazilian Serie A. The loss leaves them 15th, only two points ahead of their opponents, and manager Xavier has now been given the boot due to their lowly standing in the division. WATCH THE CLIP Neymar signed a new contract with Santos in June but this was the worst defeat of his playing career so far, having to be consoled by a member of staff at full time. Things seemed to be looking up for the Vila Belmiro side after back-to-back wins over Juventude and Cruzeiro, but this hefty defeat convinced officials in the boardroom to sack Xavier, who was only appointed in April earlier this year. WHAT SANTOS SAID A statement from the club reads: "Santos FC announces the departure of coach Cleber Xavier. The club thanks him for his service and wishes him well in his future career." Neymar posted a story to his Instagram with the caption "Santos nao merece isso", which translates to "Santos doesn't deserve this". DID YOU KNOW? Neymar's previous worst defeats were a pair of 4-0 losses in 2011 and 2017, firstly seeing his Santos team demolished by Barcelona before being rag-dolled by Paris Saint-Germain six years later with the Blaugrana. WHAT NEXT FOR NEYMAR? Neymar will await news of his next manager with Santos hoping to appoint a new coach who can lead them away from the relegation zone. They are only two points ahead of 17th-placed Vitoria having played a game fewer.
