Will Caleb Holt pick Auburn?

Caleb Holt is a junior in high school and at least a year away before heading to college. Still, the youngster has garnered attention from top programs. As per On3, Auburn, at the moment, is the most likely to land the No. 1 guard in Georgia, with around a 37.1% chance.

Holt also appears to lean towards the Tigers. In an interview with On3's Joe Tipton, Holt said:

"They have Tahaad (Pettiford), and he’s having a great year,” he said.

"Just seeing what they do with their guards, it’s a great look for me to see because I want to play guard and get to the next level. The confidence coach Bruce Pearl has them playing with is a coach I’m looking for to have that confidence in me.”

Alabama, Baylor and Cincinnati are among the top programs vying for his commitment.
