Little Rock graduate transfer Rayjon Tucker is set to visit Auburn this weekend.
The 6-5 shooting guard, who is widely considered to be the best grad transfer available, declared for the 2019 NBA draft on Monday but is reportedly keeping his options open should he decide to return to college for another season.
And one of those options could be the Tigers, who certainly continue to build momentum on the recruiting trail after a Final Four run.

Tucker already visited West Virginia last weekend, and he has also scheduled an upcoming visit to Memphis following his trip to Auburn.

Arkansas and South Carolina are also among the schools Tucker is still considering, according to 247Sports recruiting insider Evan Daniels.
He averaged 20.3 points and 6.7 rebounds per game this past season, and there’s no doubt he would make a significant impact for any team that he joins thanks to his tremendous athleticism and scoring ability.
Adding Tucker to the mix in the backcourt would be huge for Bruce Pearl and company, as they’re set to lose Bryce Brown to graduation and Jared Harper to the NBA draft.
The Tigers currently have a top 20 class for 2019, which should give them an opportunity to be an SEC title contender yet again next season.
