I don't think it's because those posters are obsessed with Auburn, just trying to temper some of your joy. You guys are doing backflips over someone who can only play for one year.

I already congratulated Auburn on the pickup, but getting a senior one-and-done isn't going to make much of a difference in the long run. Pearl and staff also need guys that will stick around for 3 or so years and add some stability.

Strange to say in an era where college basketball careers are progressively shorter. Auburn needs to win soon. Every additional win adds credibility to what Pearl is doing, and enhances who he can bring in.

I would love for Pearl to bring in stud recruits who will stay here for 3-4 years, but those kids aren't coming to Auburn right now. I think Pearl will probably try for a mix of solid players who will stick for a while, and players who can make an immediate impact and raise our profile.
