Johnnie Harris and Auburn’s women’s basketball team is continuing to make noise well into the offseason after Arkansas transfer guard Taliah Scott announced her commitment to the Tigers in a social media post Sunday morning.

With the addition of Scott, Auburn has landed one of the most coveted guards in the transfer portal as The Athletic’s Chantel Jennings recently rated Scott as the third-best available player in the transfer portal.

Jennings cited Scott’s scoring ability as well as her remaining three years of eligibility as reasons for her top 3 ranking.

As a freshman with the Razorbacks this past season, Scott averaged 22.1 points and 3.3 rebounds per game across 20 appearances and 19 starts. Scott finished the season having shot with a 40 percent clip from the field and 29 percent from beyond the 3-point line.

Ironically, one of Scott’s biggest games of her freshman campaign came against Auburn as she played in all 40 minutes and dropped 33 points on the Tigers — her best scoring performance in SEC play. Her 33 points against Auburn made for her third and 30-plus scoring performance of the season.

Scott missed a handful of games in January as she dealt with an injury, followed by missing time in February as she returned home to Florida to deal with what was described as a “serious family emergency.”

Coming out of St. Johns Country Day School in Orange Park, Fla. in 2023, Scott was named a McDonald’s All-American, Florida’s Gatorade Player of the Year, Florida Dairy Farmer’s Miss Basketball and was a Naismith High School Girls Basketball honorable mention.

Scott finished her high school career having scored 2,735 career points and led the country in scoring for the better part of her senior season before finishing with an average of 36.2 points per game. In her final game of her high school career, Scott tallied 47 points as her team fell in the state semifinal.

The addition of Scott is huge for Harris and the Tigers as they look to replace the scoring of Honesty Scott-Grayson, who averaged 17.3 points per game in her final season on The Plains.
