Vanderbilt transfer guard George Kimble III has signed with Auburn men's basketball on Wednesday, Apr. 22, via Joe Tipon of On3.

The addition of Kimble brings a solid rotational piece for Auburn's backcourt. Auburn so far has in its backcourt the returning players of Tahaad Pettiford, Kevin Overton, and Simon Walker.

The Tigers bring in a player who averaged 18.0 points, 3.7 rebounds, 3.2 assists, and 2.6 steals per game during his sophomore season at Eastern Kentucky. He did not see the floor at all for Vanderbilt due to injury.
