Don't underestimate what a great coach Pearl is. He took Tennessee to the dance in year 1, following Jerry Greens flame out and an abysmal era under Buzz Peterson. Dude knows his shite.

That roster was in much better shape though when he took over. He had Chris Lofton, who went down as one of the all-time best shooters in SEC history, and CJ Watson, who most recently was getting significant minutes on the #1 seed in the Eastern conference this past year.
The situation he is stepping into is a bit more difficult at Auburn. I have no doubt that he will succeed at Auburn it is just a matter of to what degree and how quickly. I'm mainly jealous because he is the perfect hire for a "football school." Other guys can be great hires X's & O's wise, but outside of Calipari I can't think of anyone who is better at selling a program better than Bruce.
I am extremely interested to see how the Under Armour stuff impacts his recruiting too. It is crazy how much the shoe game has an impact on CBB recruiting.
