So is it possible that pearl could do better with non nba talent then teams who easily get one and done future nba stars? Honest question.
It’s certainly possible, yes. This season is proof of that. He even did it without All-Americans

I started getting season tickets when Sonny Smith was the coach and really enjoyed the games and players. In the state of Alabama he and Wimp generated more interest in basketball than I could have imagined.
Went to the games when Tommy Joe did his best, but Auburn went through some hard times.
Cliff Ellis put the enjoyment back and had some good runs, SEC championship and NCAA appearances and fans turned out.
Suffered through Old Testament equivalent of famine and drought under Lebo and Barbee.
I have been truly amazed with Pearl's teams and the fan excitement and support and results. Fans looking for tickets and sold out games became the norm this past season.
Never ever thought final four would be reached and already looking towards next season.

Yes. Success in the tournament seems to be driven by upper classmen instead of one and done NBA talent. I'd say two of the last 10 championship have been by teams with 1 and done (Ky in 12 and Duke in 15.)

Locking up Pearl and keeping our nose clean are the most important things. While I would have loved to win the title this year, we can still accomplish a ton even if we don't get back to the Final Four for years.
Make Auburn into a consistent competitor, somewhere that will attract a high level coach even when Pearl departs (hopefully retires). Build expectations of success for fans and recruits. Change the long-term trajectory of this program in a span of 10 years.

Aside from our run-the thing I was most impressed with was the class that a lot of these teams had, especially ours. That stuff matters, especially when grooming these young guys into real men. That is a direct reflection of their coaches.
We absolutely gotta lock him up.
We absolutely gotta lock him up.
