Auburn currently has the top recruiting class in the SEC. Pearl is on fire. Three four-star recruits in the 2015 class + a JUCO standout.

Yes taking criminals and thugs is surely a way to get there.. In 5 years AU will be bitching about probation

Those Pearl teams at UT never amounted to anything significant

Say what you will about Pearl's problems with the NCAA, but blatant cheating or questionable recruits is not his MO.

Hate on.

Monty is exactly correct. The same NCAA official that put the sanctions on Tennessee and pearl is now on our compliance staff. Dumbasses don't realize we either keep a tight ship, or we cover shite up like a mofo,

The others hate to see that a bottom feeder is no longer that.

In other words, there is no better man to help Auburn get away with shite.

Pearl will always make a splash at the start.

He can recruit and he can motivate and he can promote.

And he'll get Auburn to the post season, probably faster than most other coaches could.

But long term...let's see how it plays out. I have my doubts.

I'm guessing all those past Final 4 trips that Pearl led his teams to gives you that feeling

Just a matter of time until he gets caught again. For those keeping score this would be job #3 that he gets rung up. Very good coach but a better conman and bag man. Fits right in with Calipari

As a fan of SEC basketball I'm glad to see it. No way this league should be so mediocre in basketball. It's time for (at least) LSU, Bama, AU, Tenn, Ark. to step it up. We can't just have UF and UK carrying the torch. This league used to have some great battles night in and night out.

He's recruiting alright but teams like Florida and Kentucky typically don't build their classes until later in the signing period since a lot of 5-star kids wait until later to commit.
