comparing Kansas with LSU or Pearl with McMahon shows just how stupid and bitter you really are
Great point. Although Pearl is a media darling and nationally known coach his first three years at Auburn were not very good, Even though he did not take over a program under NCAA investigation and facing possible draconian sanctions his record was
2014–15 Auburn 15–20 4–14 13th
2015–16 Auburn 11–20 5–13 13th
2016–17 Auburn 6–14 0–11 11th
They did have to vacate 7 SEC wins in 2017 due to assistant coach and former Auburn star Chuck Person's involvement in a scandal with Adidas. Even with credit for those wins Pearl was 16-38 on court in the SEC in his first three seasons.

Great point.
Except it's not. Pearl didn't have ability to mine a transfer portal of over 1000 players who would be immediately eligible. The only means he had available to him to immediately improve the roster as HS signees, JUCO players, and grad students.
Coaches, by and large, don't like the transfer rules. But I don't think you'd find a single one who would tell you the rules don't provide more opportunity to improve your roster quickly than at any point in the history of the sport (Of course, the downside is your roster can be decimated just as quickly).
Comparing "rebuilds" pre-2020 to post 2020 is foolish. For better or worse, they are completely different environments.
If you want to support your argument a better one would be to look at Rick Pitino at St. John's. HOF coach who is struggling in year 1 after taking over a program that lost 11 players from last year's team.
