Auburn’s offseason roster makeover took another turn Monday morning.

Allen Flanigan, the Tigers’ starting wing, entered the transfer portal Monday, according to multiple reports. Flanigan’s decision comes just two days after he graduated and walked across the stage at Neville Arena during commencement festivities during the weekend.

Flanigan will have one year of eligibility remaining, thanks to the extra year granted to athletes by the NCAA due to the pandemic.

The timing of Flanigan’s decision was not unexpected, as coach Bruce Pearl said late last month that the 6-foot-6 wing would “weigh all of his options” after completing his undergraduate degree. It has been expected for some time that Flanigan would not return to Auburn for a fifth season, with the options to either turn pro or transfer elsewhere for his final season.

According to a report by ESPN’s Jeff Borzello, Flanigan is “likely” to wind up at Ole Miss, where his father Wes Flanigan is now an assistant coach. Wes Flanigan spent five years as an assistant on Pearl’s staff at Auburn before leaving the Tigers last month to reunite with Chris Beard as part of his inaugural staff at Ole Miss. Wes Flanigan previously worked with Beard at Arkansas-Little Rock during the 2015-16 season.

During Allen Flanigan’s four-year career at Auburn, he averaged 8.5 points and 4.2 rebounds per game. He was a role player during his freshman season, which was cut short due to the start of the pandemic, but he enjoyed a breakout sophomore campaign during the 2020-21 season. That year, Flanigan averaged a career-high 14.3 points and 5.5 rebounds per game while starting all 27 games for Auburn; he shot 45.5 percent from the field and 33.8 percent from beyond the arc that season, both of which were career-high clips.

Flanigan was expected to build on that the following season, but his junior year was derailed before it could even get underway. He sustained a partially torn Achilles tendon in the preseason and was sidelined to start the year. He was cleared that December but struggled to return to form, averaging just 6.3 points and 3.5 rebounds over 27 games while shooting 39.5 percent overall and a mere 20.5 percent from deep.

After testing the NBA Draft waters for a second straight offseason and even earning an invite to the NBA G League Elite camp during the pre-draft process, Flanigan opted to return for his senior season. The move paid off, as he looked closer to his sophomore self — an explosive athlete who provided a pop to the offense and on the boards. He averaged 10.1 points and five rebounds per game last season and shot 44.2 percent overall, including 33.3 percent from 3-point range. He was one of four Auburn players to average double-figure points for a team that advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament for the second year in a row.

Flanigan is the fourth player to enter the transfer portal for Auburn since the end of the season, joining freshmen Yohan Traore (UC Santa Barbara) and Chance Westry (Syracuse), as well as fellow senior Stretch Akingbola, who will officially hit the portal after graduating this summer. Auburn has also had four players — Wendell Green Jr., Jaylin Williams, Johni Broome and Dylan Cardwell — declare for the NBA Draft, though three of them (Williams, Broome and Cardwell) retained their college eligibility and are likely to return to school next season.

Should all three of them return, as expected, Auburn’s roster — as things stand Monday — is set to have nine scholarship players for next season: Williams, Broome, Cardwell, K.D. Johnson, Chris Moore, Tre Donaldson and newcomers Aden Holloway (five-star 2023 signee), Denver Jones (FIU transfer) and Chaney Johnson (UAH transfer). That leaves Auburn with four available scholarships at its disposal, with at least one likely going to a walk-on; Lior Berman, who is returning for an additional season, is the prime candidate to be put on scholarship. The Tigers would still like to add at least one more piece to the roster, with wing a priority following Flanigan’s departure.
