AUBURN, Ala. - Auburn’s top recruit, point guard Sharife Cooper, hasn’t been cleared to play by the NCAA. Tigers coach Bruce Pearl said Monday on Auburn’s weekly radio show that the NCAA is still conducting Cooper’s initial eligibility review but didn’t give details. “But really there’s not much more I can comment.”Auburn is scheduled to open the season Thursday against Saint Joseph’s in Fort Myers, Florida. The Tigers play preseason No. 1 Gonzaga on Friday morning in the Fort Myers Tip-off.
