Bruce Pearl has restocked Auburn's roster once again, only this time with expectations for immediate success.

The preseason No. 22 Tigers' coach bolstered his team with talented transfers like North Carolina 7-footer Walker Kessler, Georgia guard K.D. Johnson and five-star recruit Jabari Smith after a down year that followed the program's best three-year run in history.

For the second straight year, Auburn could have a new starting five but it will feature some transfers with college experience - and plenty of talent.
