Auburn basketball roster tracker: Which players are returning, leaving or being added?

Auburn basketball, just like nearly every other team in the country, is watching its roster churn this offseason.

After getting bounced in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on March 18, coach Bruce Pearl is looking to upgrade his roster and surpass its successes from a season ago.

The Tigers will be working with 13 scholarships this season. In the past couple of years, Auburn was limited to 12, a punishment the program received from the NCAA stemming from former assistant coach Chuck Person's involvement in a bribery scandal.

Here's what Auburn's roster currently looks like and the changes that have been made. This story will be updated throughout the offseason as moves occur.

2023 NBA Draft declarations (4)

If any of draft declarations wish to return to Auburn after testing the NBA waters, the NCAA early entry withdrawal deadline is May 31.

Johni Broome (Forward): The most impactful addition from last offseason, Broome was Auburn's leading scorer with 14.2 points per game on 52.7% shooting. He entered his name into the draft April 18, but noted he was retaining his eligibility for a potential return.

Wendell Green Jr. (Guard): Following his second season on the Plains, Green declared for the 2023 NBA Draft on April 2. He averaged 12.8 points in 67 games with the Tigers, helping guide them to back-to-back NCAA Tournament appearances.

Jaylin Williams (Forward): After averaging a career-high 11.2 points per game last season, Williams declared for the draft April 20, but similar to Broome, mentioned that he was maintaining his collegiate eligibility.

Dylan Cardwell (Center): Though he has yet to announce anything publicly Cardwell was tabbed as an early entry candidate for the 2023 NBA Draft, according to a list released by the league April 25.

Outgoing transfers (4)

Yohan Traore (Forward): A former five-star recruit in the class of 2022, Traore spent one season with the Tigers before announcing March 28 that he was entering the portal. He appeared in 25 games this past season, averaging 2.1 points in 9.9 minutes per contest.

Chance Westry (Guard): Westry announced April 18 that he committed to Syracuse after earlier entering the portal. Because of a knee injury, the 6-foot-6 ball-handler appeared in only 11 games in 2022-23, his first season in college.

Babatunde Akingbola (Center): Akingbola spent four years with the Tigers before he announced April 6 that he'd be entering his name into the transfer portal upon graduating from Auburn this summer. He made 50 appearances in his career with the Tigers.

Allen Flanigan (Wing): Flanigan reportedly entered the portal May 8 after spending four seasons with the Tigers. His father, Wes Flanigan, who was an assistant on Pearl's bench since 2018, left to join Chris Beard at Ole Miss earlier this offseason.

Out of eligibility (1)

Zep Jasper (Guard): Jasper spent two seasons with the Tigers after playing at the College of Charleston for three years. He started all 66 games he appeared in at Auburn, proving to be one of Pearl's best perimeter defenders. He's completely out of eligibility and will not return.

Incoming transfers (3)

Chaney Johnson (Forward): Johnson, who averaged 15.9 points for UAH last season, signed with Auburn on April 21. He also grabbed 6.6 rebounds per game to go along with 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals for the Chargers in 2022-23.

Denver Jones (Guard): A transfer from Florida International, Jones committed to Auburn on April 8 after spending two seasons with the Golden Panthers. He averaged 20.1 points per game and shot 37.1% from 3-point range in 2022-23. AU officially announced his signing April 9.

Chad Baker-Mazara (Wing): After spending one season in junior college, Baker-Mazara committed to Auburn on May 18. He started his career at Duquesne before transferring to San Diego State as a sophomore and Northwest Florida State College as a junior. He shot 46.9% from 3-point range last season.

Freshman addition (1)

Aden Holloway (Guard): The lone recruit in Auburn's class of 2023, Holloway showed out at the McDonald's All-American Game on March 28; he scored 15 points on 57.1% shooting and had three steals. Holloway is a four-star recruit and rated as the No. 27 player in the country, according to the 247Sports Composite.

Returning scholarship players (3)

Every player from last season who still has eligibility remaining is assumed to be returning, unless they've announced otherwise or reports have come out detailing their plans.

Chris Moore (Forward): Moore began last season as the starting small forward before injuring his right shoulder in a game against Ole Miss on Jan. 10. He came off the bench for the final 15 games of the season, with his best performance coming in Tuscaloosa versus Alabama on March 1. He grabbed five rebounds and was the de facto center for Auburn after three Tigers fouled out and Cardwell went down with an injury.

Tre Donaldson (Guard): After news came out of Traore and Holloway's intentions to enter the portal, Donaldson, a fellow class of 2022 recruit, took to Twitter to all but confirm he is returning for another season: "Auburn family let's ride," Donaldson wrote March 29. He had his best game of the season in the first round of March Madness against Iowa, dropping 13 points and knocking down three 3-pointers.

KD Johnson (Guard): Johnson transferred to Auburn in May 2021 after he spent one season at Georgia. He started 31 games in his first year with the Tigers and came off the bench last season. Johnson has averaged 10.6 points in 67 appearances at Auburn.

Walk-on news

Lior Berman cracked the rotation last season and played meaningful minutes for Auburn. Pearl has previously said if he had that 13th scholarship these past couple of seasons, it would've gone to Berman. For now, however, he remains a walk-on. He was celebrated at Senior Day, but he also has an extra year of eligibility to potentially be used.

Chandler Leopard entered the portal and committed to Samford, he announced via Instagram on April 14. Leopard appeared in 18 games in four seasons with the Tigers, mostly serving as a member of the scout team at practice.
