Auburn has secured a commitment from four-star forward Chuma Okeke as first reported by Evan Daniels. The Tigers now have the No. 1 ranked class in the 2017 247Sports Composite Recruiting Rankings.

Okeke, 6-7, 225-pounds from Fairburn (Ga.) Westlake High School, is coming off a strong showing in Las Vegas. He is ranked No. 57 in the 247Sports Composite.

He joins two highly ranked prospects big man Austin Wiley and point guard Davion Mitchell in the promising 2017 Auburn recruiting class.

I am trying to.  That was what I was about to post myself. Unreal. I hope it sticks.

Coach Pearl getting it done on the recruiting trail, no doubt ...

[Randman5000 4,224]

Congrats CBP. Auburn bball on the up. Need a good season this year!

Very smooth player. I like that he is coming with Davion...should be some built in chemistry. It's early but still hard to believe we have the #1 class

[aujeff11 6,243]

Has he given an interview since commiting?

What are the signing dates? I'm not used to being a fan of a basketball school...

It won't. We are likely only taking 1 more. It will stick in the top 10 though & maybe top 5.

How fun is our BBall team going to be to watch in the next few years! Soo Cool! Gotta love Coach Pearl. Auburn in the NCAA tournament on a regular basis, sounds crazy, doesn't it?

Great pickup welcome to the family and War Eagle

[Tiger 8,818]

This is awesome! I've seen where's listed as a SF/PF as well as considered as a frontcourt pickup. Is he more of a big man or does he have a perimeter player's skillset?

No interviews yet. And please tell me you are doing simple searches on your own instead of coming straight here asking & expecting others to do it for you.

[aujeff11 6,243]

Some of these questions that I'm asking are not very simple. Such as yesterday when I wanted to know what our updated class rank in football would be. I searched but couldn't determine if it was updated or not. I definitely searched for the interviews on Twitter though.

Now is where Coach Pearl begins to realize that everything he finds annoying about Auburn's compliance department is worth putting up with as the NCAA hounds see Auburn ranked #1 in basketball recruiting and start warming up their scopes.

Nice to get the recognition but anyone find it strange that Duke, Kentucky, Arizona, Kansas and the usual powerhouses are not on the list?   Seems like many schools are not announcing their commitments yet.

Hoping we can hang on to these guys...they should at least give us one of the top 2 or 3 classes in the SEC when the dust settles.

No cuz a lot of those teams get theirs late because they are a NBA Draft revolving door.
