Article on Horace Spencer signing with us.

Article says Rivals has us with the #11 class and 247 composite is #13. We aren't paying Pearl enough.

3rd highest paid coach in the SEC only behind Cal & Donovan. That is enough for now.

I don't see pushing his pay above Donovan, but maybe increase it to just under if next season is dynamite.

Yes but his contract has substantial yearly increases already built into it. The focus on this offseason, even by Pearl's own admission, is to upgrade the assistants' salaries & benefits.

Are there any transfers to keep an eye on other than Tyler Harris, nick king had interest out of high school if I remember correctly and he is an undersized athletic 4 that fits pearl's system perfectly

This has been answered more than once in this thread recently. Basketball staffs generally keep this kind of info hush hush so no there is not any names to keep an eye on. If names pop up then that means AU feels they have a descent shot.

Also as posted a day or so ago, FWIW JGT says AU is likely done adding players this year even if we miss on Harris.

I'm assuming we've already written a check to Horace...might as well write one to Harris too.

I'm not buying that. I think we add at least one more even if Harris decides to go elsewhere.

If we can get better players we will. If we can't then we didn't want them anyway and always planned on staying put. Do I really have to explain how this is supposed to work?
