New Auburn men's basketball coach Tony Barbee appears to have wrapped up his first, abbreviated recruiting class.

Power forward Luke Cothron, a Huntsville native who now attends Flora Macdonald Academy in North Carolina, has committed to the Tigers and will sign shortly.

The news was first reported by Bryan Matthews' on his outstanding Auburn blog.

Another Huntsvillian -- forward Josh Langford -- signed with the Tigers last month.

To rub salt in the wound, this article was from the Press Register less than a month ago.

Tide closing in on coveted hoops recruit Luke Cothron
By Gentry Estes, Mobile Press-Register
April 06, 2010, 4:03PM

Cothron.jpgForward Luke Cothron averaged nearly 30 points per game this past season (Photo courtesy of HighSchoolOT.com)It's no secret that an underwhelming first season on the court has only heightened the importance of a first full recruiting class at Alabama for basketball coach Anthony Grant.

Grant signed two players in November, and eight days before the beginning of the sport's late NCAA signing period, Grant appears to be nearing his biggest commitment to date for the Crimson Tide.

Red Springs, N.C., power forward Luke Cothron, a 6-foot-8 player who is rated by Rivals as the nation's 33rd-best prospect for 2010, has narrowed his list to Alabama, Auburn and Marquette, according to an update today from Rivals' basketball recruiting analyst Jerry Meyer.

That news eliminates formidable powerhouses Kentucky and Tennessee. And as Meyer notes, Cothron has visited Alabama but has yet to visit Auburn or Marquette, which is a pretty clear indicator that the Tide is in good shape. Another important note: Cothron is originally from Huntsville and grew up an Alabama fan.

"There are several things I really like about Alabama but the biggest is Coach Grant," Cothron told BamaOnline.com in a recent story. "Ever since the first time I talked to him I have really been impressed with what he has to say and the way he runs his program. It also doesn't hurt that Alabama is the home-state team for me and a team I grew up pulling for. I have always liked the fans at Alabama and the atmosphere they can create when things are really going good.

"A lot of people talk about how the fans at Alabama and Auburn don't get excited about basketball but that's just not true. They are just like any fanbase, they love a winner."

Cothron committed to NC State originally but chose to reopen his recruitment, and he's the kind of player who could contribute immediate on a thin Alabama front line.

They didn't want him anyway.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."
