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
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).
