About Auburn University at Montgomery Basketball
You're weighing whether Division II is the right move, and whether a program in Alabama fits your timeline. That's honest thinking—and it matters. Auburn University at Montgomery, competing in the Gulf South Conference, offers what many players need at this stage: genuine playing time, strong coaching, and a realistic path to contribute immediately. Head coach Michael Cheaney has built a program that values development over hype. He knows the players who land here are serious about basketball and their education, and he coaches accordingly. AUM sits in a competitive conference where you'll face real competition every night, but you won't get buried on a bench while your eligibility ticks away. The program prioritizes student-athletes who understand that this level demands professionalism—in practice, in the classroom, and in how you represent the university. Montgomery gives you access to a growing city with authentic college basketball culture. You'll play meaningful games, build relationships with coaches who actually know your game, and earn minutes that matter for your next step, whether that's a move up or professional opportunities. The question isn't whether AUM will take a chance on you. It's whether you're ready to earn your role and maximize it. Before you reach out to a program at this level, make sure your game is where it needs to be.
