Auburn's basketball team got a boost when Johnnie Lett was declared academically eligible for Wednesday's game against Florida, a school spokesman confirm Tuesday.

The 6-foot-8 Lett missed the South Carolina game while an academic issue was being resolved. Auburn's frontcourt suffered, with Korvotney Barber having to play 36 minutes.

Lett is averaging just 3.6 points and 4.1 rebounds in 13.7 points per game off the bench, but he provides a big body that is able to defend opposing post players, something the Tigers are lacking.

In football news ...

• Auburn has interviewed Mississippi Gulf Coast head coach Steve Campbell spoke with Auburn about its offensive line coach vacancy, according to multiple reports. Campbell has been at MGCCC since 2004. He was Mississippi State's offensive line coach in 2003 and was Middle Tennessee State's offensive coordinator in 2002.

• Major kudos to fellow beat writer Evan Woodbery of the Mobile Press-Register for his story on (former?) Auburn offensive lineman Chaz Ramsey, who had issues with the way his rehabilitation from back surgery was handled by the Tigers' medical staff. Definitely worth a read, so click on it. We'll see how this one plays out.
