Heron Bound for Auburn
Sacred Heart High School rising senior Mustapha Heron made a verbal commitment to Bruce Pearl during his visit to Auburn this weekend.
The pledge was an unexpected development since it was just one week ago that Heron claimed a top five and said he expected to take all five of his visits.
After this weekend though, it now appears as if Auburn will be Heron's first and only visit.
Heron has been a celebrated local prospect since literally before he was in high school and has lived up to that billing in the last three years. He began his career at Wilbraham and Monson Academy in Massachusetts but transferred to Sacred Heart High School early in his sophomore season, where he has now won back-to-back CIAC state championships.
Below are some of Sunday's headlines and Heron's recent highlight videos:
