On3 predicts Tyrin Lawrence to sign with Auburn
Auburn and head coach Bruce Pearl has already made a splash in the transfer portal to this point by signing FIU guard Denver Jones and the reigning Gulf South Conference Player of the Year, Cheney Johnson of Alabama-Huntsville.
It appears as if Pearl and company are not finished yet, as they are on the verge of landing its’ biggest headliner of the class, Vanderbilt’s Tyrin Lawrence.
Lawrence, the Commodores’ leading scorer last season, paid a visit to Auburn last weekend and left feeling that Pearl’s program would be a “perfect fit.” Following the visit, On3’s Recruiting Prediction Machine has listed Auburn as the early favorite to become Lawrence’s next destination.
Lawrence would be valuable to Auburn scheme-wise, but he is also considered to be one of the best options currently in the transfer portal says Brad Crawford of 247Sports:
Lawrence entered the transfer portal last week after a breakout junior season where he averaged 13.1 points, 4.4 rebounds and 1.7 assists on fabulous shooting splits. The 6-foot-4, 200-pound guard is part of a mass exodus out of the Vanderbilt program. Name, Image and Likeness is expected to be a major factor in Lawrence’s decision, according to a report from 247Sports’ Robbie Weinstein. Lawrence was one of the best off-the-bounce slashers in the country. Lawrence shot 56% on 2s, including a scintillating 69.4% at the rim. Lawrence lived at the charity stripe (140 attempts) and shot 36% from downtown.
Lawrence spent three seasons at Vanderbilt, and gradually increased production each year.

Visit recap
Following his visit, he told Jason Caldwell of Auburn Undercover that he feels that he would “fit perfectly” at Auburn.
“Just doing stuff on and off the ball, whether it’s coming off ball screens or cutting backdoor. I think I could do a lot of that. I think I would be a perfect fit,” he tells Caldwell.
