Johni Broome, elite Morehead State transfer, announces SEC commitment
Johni Broome is heading to The Plains. The standout transfer from Morehead State chose Auburn over Florida, a battle between Bruce Pearl and his former Tiger staffer, Todd Golden.
A 6-10 power forward, Broome averaged 16.8 points and 10.5 rebounds per game. Broome matched that average output by posting a double-double 23 times in the 2021-22 season, a top-5 mark nationally. Broome played in all 34 games, averaging 28.3 minutes per outing, blocking 131 shots, a school record. As the Ohio Valley Conference’s leader in rebounds and blocked shots, Broome won Defensive Player of the Year.
Auburn’s newest C Johni Broome: “Auburn, great place to be. On my visit it felt like home. Great fanbase, great environment to play in, we played there last year.”

Broome has 3 years of eligibility remaining. He also received interest from Kentucky, Duke, Gonzaga, Louisville, Houston and Memphis.
Bruce Pearl may not be the best X’s and O’s coach, but he has no problems getting talent on campus. At what point do we admit Auburn is a basketball school?
Super stoaked about this addition to the squad. Surprised Luvdaride hasn’t commented but since there’s no real negative way to spin this, I guess he has been muted.
Humboldt Tiger. This looks like a great addition for Auburn Basketball. Someone who can contribute right away. How did I do?
Much better, thanks. I know our football team has been an easy target as of late so some of your opinions about that particular sport do have merit. Realistically, I’m hoping the football team has a winning regular season and a win in some mediocre bowl game. Love Auburn win or lose however.
I am being nicer recently.
I hope the boosters give Harsin a chance to be successful. His success or failure should be on him and his staff. Not outside influence.
Golden Boy with another whiff. UF needs players, and not ones that are WCC level or lower.
Weird, I had no idea this column was about UF.
