Mike Auger makes it official, commits to Penn Basketball

One of Penn's biggest recruits has finally come aboard.

Mike Auger, a 6-foot-7 forward out of the New Hampton School (NH), formally declared his enrollment at Penn today, giving Penn another key piece in the 2018 recruiting class.

The Red and Blue had been hot on Auger for a while, bringing him to campus over the summer.

Signing was essentially a formality for Auger, who had already seen enough he liked in the Penn program to commit to coach Jerome Allen's vision back in September.

"I am looking forward to playing for Coach Allen and the coaching staff there and playing in the Palestra and being a part of the rich basketball tradition," Auger said in a statement. "I want to be able to make a difference right off the bat. I liked the feel of the university, the people, and Philly is a great city."

Auger chose the Red and Blue over Princeton, Dartmouth, and Holy Cross, emphasizing in earlier interviews how easy a choice it was for him to make after stepping foot on campus.
