Barbee didn't exactly leave a stacked roster. Can Pearl hit the recruiting trail right away or does he have to wait until August?

Just posted this in the official thread.

From Steele4AU

He can't contact recruits till August.
He can evaluate recruits in the July period (big).
He can set up his staff.

Middle of April is when the late signing period begins. Recruits can enroll as soon as they graduate and are cleared by the NCAA clearinghouse.

I'm not positive but I think some of his assistants from UT also have the show cause that expires in August.

Could be. I'm trying to find out for sure from some people that would know for sure.

Yep the assistants were pretty much let off the hook w/ their penalties. Pearl took the biggest hit out of the entire party

Got to imagine that Lingwood will stay and we may pick one or two more up just off publicity. Wonder if he retains Ryan miller

You guys are right. Jones and the rest of the staff only got 1 year.

I'd bet Longwood will stay. Miller would be big to keep but sometimes it's better to just clean the entire slate even if that means you lose out on a good young coach

No offense to Longwood. I never heard of him. But I hope the staff is Ryan Miller and former Pearl assistants Tony Jones and Steve Forbes. Forbes has seemingly been Gold everywhere he has been and is with undefeated 1 seed Wichita State now.

Supposedly Longwood is extremely solid. He has a very very talented younger teammate too that has mild interest in AU for now.

On the rant a vol fan posted an article about how Steve Forbes hates us

The first name would have helped. I know who Sam Longwood is. I thought we were strictly talking assistant coaches based on the rest of the convo.

On another note I just thought about how good Price and Shaq Johnson would be if they were here under a Pearl system and got a momentarily sad banana.
