I agree to an extent, although it would have to be an ELITE class.

Yeah Hogwall but UGA should've been in
If AU coached by Pearl in 2 yrs is 3rd in the SEC with his OOC sched he will likely set up, he will make the Tourney
ETA: I also agree that NCAA will remove the 4 months for "time served" it'd be stupid not to

No they shouldn't have. They are 19-13.

based on what? the SEC is awful, and UGA's OOC record was not good. Their RPI was 76. No they shouldn't have been in. you can't go 6-6 with a weak OOC schedule and expect to make the ncaa tournament in the sec

Lsu was competitive in the sec this year and made the nit, with how good of a coach pearl is he can do that in year one if he brings in a top 30 class which ill admit is unlikely

It takes a class McDonald's AAs like Kentucky has gotten.
Other wise it is a 3-5 year road for all other programs in the SEC.
Recruiting rankings don't mean jack in basketball, quantity will rank higher than quality, if they are not playing in the McD AA game they are not elite ready to contribute blue chip recruits.
Since 1977 Auburn has signed 2 McD AAs, Frank Ford in 1983, and Korvotney Barber in 05.
For other SEC schools:
Kentucky - 44
Florida - 18
LSU - 15
Arkansas - 12
Alabama - 10
Georgia - 9
Tennessee - 7
Missouri - 5
Carolina - 3
aTm - 2
Vandy - 1

Being on the same level as Kentucky is not what I meant by competitive I meant finish in the top 5 of the conference standings and be seeded in the top half of the NIT

so Bruce Pearl had the success he did at Tennessee with two McDonald's AA? Scotty Hopson was the first he ever signed (was extremely overrated coming out of HS), and he coached Tobais Harris for one season. I don't think he'll have quite the immediate success he did at UT, but it's not going to take as long as you think.
btw, what's your definition of competitive?

He inherited a good core group of players at Tennessee, he will not have that at Auburn this season.

A team that does not "drag the conference down", gets things done in the OOC competes for a spot in the NCAA tournament.
That isn't something that will be fully completed this season or likely next for Auburn, by year 3 you will see the direction their program will be heading under Pearl (or any coach).

I think it will take at least two seasons. Auburn doesnt have the talent right now. But Pearl will put a winner on the floor that we have not had in YEARS.
So there is excitement on the plains.

I am curious as to why people think that Bruce Pearl will be immediately so successful at Auburn, and that they will all the sudden contend for Championships?
2 Things:
Atlanta, GA and Memphis, TN

Memphis, TN
During his time at TN. Bruce Pearl signed zero elite players out of Memphis.
He got JP Prince on a transfer, that's it.
The good news is he doesn't have to. There's plenty of other talent in America. If you're not one of; UNC, Kentucky, Duke, Kansas, Florida, you're not stealing a Memphis kid from Memphis. And it's an uphill battle even for those elite programs.

We need to focus on Atlanta.

For all the bitching about Under Armor by your fans, I would think they would know Memphis is a town where AAU and HS coaches do steer players to or away from certain programs...
