JT Thor, a 5-star forward in the 2021 recruiting class, has landed an offer from Bruce Pearl and the Auburn Tigers.
The 6-8 power forward has also attracted plenty of attention nationally, with several SEC teams already in the mix prior to his Auburn offer.
Thor holds offers from Florida, LSU, and Ole Miss, and he went on an unofficial visit to Kentucky back in early January.

He ranks as the top player in West Virginia and the No. 12 player overall in the 2021 class, according to 247Sports.
Pearl and company continue to build a lot of momentum on the recruiting trail, and the trip to the Final Four this past season should allow them to keep that success going.
Auburn currently has a top 20 class for 2019 with five players signed, which includes 4-star prospects Issac Okoro, Tyrell Jones, and Jaylin Williams.
The Tigers have also started to eye several top targets in the 2020 class, with 5-star point guard Sharif Cooper being a key prospect who could reclassify to the 2019 class.
