Auburn makes cut for 2023 No. 1 SG Stephon Castle
Auburn is among the favorites for the No. 1 shooting guard in the 2023 class.
Stephon Castle, who is an On3 four-star recruit, released his top group of schools on Sunday. They included Auburn, UConn, Georgia, Georgia Tech, Ohio State and Arkansas.
Auburn being on the list isn’t a complete surprise.
Castle, from Newton High in Covington, Ga., has visited Auburn three times, including most recently for an official visit in October. He said after the visit Auburn would make the cut.

“I don’t have a top group right now, but when I do Auburn will be in it,” Castle said.
And for many reasons, most notably Bruce Pearl.
“Coach Pearl is a terrific coach,” Castle said. “He’s probably the best coach with the best reputation that has offered me. All the players talk about him and how much they like playing for him. He also has a lot of energy.”
On3 ranks Castle the No. 2 shooting guard in the 2023 class and No. 22 overall recruit.
