Bruce is experiencing it now. Main man on campus. Both teams in the state playing high level ball and top echelon of NCAA. Iron Bowl BB complete sell out in both arenas on a Wed night. Madness!
Currently Auburn has #3 recruiting class in the country for next year, outstanding facilities. Bama has outstanding program and in first place. The SEC is loaded.

I just think the job would be easier in general. Louisville is the better basketball program and it's not even close.

The UK/UL rival is also not even close.

Would a recruit wanna play in HS gym or an NBA ready one?
Does a recruit want to play in a small little town or do they want to play somewhere they aren't easily bored away from family and have to drive to ATL every chance they get to have fun?
Do they want to play against UNC, Duke, UVA at their gyms and get crazy exposure or play against LSU and Georgia in their dump gyms?
Do they won't to play for a program with storied history and has a long list of NBA veterans that they can network with?
