Depends... Pearl is somewhat capable of coaching at an upper level, but is Auburn willing to make the financial commitment to the program to make it a contender?
Where will Auburn's recruiting base (for basketball) be? Arkansas didn't get good until they were able to get into Memphis, and it's no coincidence that after Scott Edgar (our Memphis recruiting ace) left that the program went downhill.
Let's face it, it's all about football in Alabama. Will the fans support it to the level that it needs to be supported to be a national contender?
Not saying it can't happen, but I just don't see it. We were there for a while, and struggling to get back there.

Yes. We just spent a frickton of money on a state of the art arena and we are shelling out for Bruce Pearl.
