- play immediately
- I'm a proven coach with a history of winning
- give this school any reason for hope and the fan support is insane
- this school has only one basketball legend, Charles Barkley, from 30+ years ago. Help us turn this program around and you'll be an immortal God to these fans OR go to Duke/ Kansas and the likes and be just another in a long of very good players.

And honestly Austin Wiley has been a catalyst for a lot of these guys commiting. He's a 5* Center that's a legacy. Good players want to play with other good players and once the first domino falls it's immensely easier to get the rest to fall. With Bruce Pearl and the players coming into the program the light at the end of the winning tunnel is within sight and the players see it too. Next step is to turn in a winning season this year and you'll start to see even more guys looking our way.

Some cherries on top to help sell it all would be:
- nice shiny new state of the art facilities
- white womenz

This is bigger than people realize. Unless you have an older historic place like Cameron Indoor, Rupp or something like that, if it's not new and shiny, they don't want it. An investment like that shows these kids that the school is serious about improving the program. Then add someone like Pearl on top of that and it starts to really snowball.

All it takes is a couple players to make any team in the SEC one of the best 2 or 3 teams in the conference. You'll always have Kentucky at the top and then there are some like Florida and Ark that rise up every now and then, but there's really no others teams that are consistently up there other than Kentucky. And you can see how important a coach is in this league when you look at the drop off of Florida after Donovan left. They just don't have the same type of players they were getting under him.
