Four-star forward Davion Adkins lists Auburn in top six, schedules official visit
Ask any Auburn basketball fan, and they will tell you that the Tigers are a "blue blood" program.
Sure, Auburn's history on the hardwood is not as deep as the likes of UCLA, Kentucky, or Duke. However, the Tigers have proven in recent years that they can compete with the sports' most successful programs on the court, as well as the recruiting trail. Another example of the Tigers' rise is in the recruitment of Davion Adkins, a four-star forward from Dallas, Texas.
According to Joe Tipton of Rivals, Adkins has placed Auburn in his top six schools. The Tigers are competing with blue blood programs Indiana, Kansas, and UCLA, as well as national runner-up Houston and Rutgers. The race for Adkins is a tight one according to Rivals, as neither program in his top six has a chance greater than 24% to land his signature. Kansas is the leader, followed by Rutgers, Houston, Auburn, and Indiana.
September and October will be key months for Adkins' recruitment, as he will take official visits to all six schools over those two months. His tour will begin Sept. 13 at Indiana, and will conclude Oct. 25 at UCLA. He plans to visit Auburn during the weekend of Oct. 18, the same weekend that Auburn football hosts Missouri at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
In an interview with Tipton and Rivals, Adkins shares that he is impressed with the Tigers' recent success, and that Bruce Pearl and his staff could develop him.
'They've had great success in the tournament and overall with the players they bring in. I feel like they would be able to help me a lot.'
Adkins is a 6-8 forward from Prolific Prep, by way of Dallas, Texas. He is the No. 5 power forward from the 2026 class, and the No. 36 overall player. Pearl and the Tigers are looking for their first 2026 commitment.
