re: say what you will, but Auburn Basketball did not benefit in any way from this

Bruce was a decent coach prior to his stint in NCAA purgatory, Auburn is a fine place with top shelf facilities, etc.....But Auburn wasn't pulling this kind of talent before the PTB at Auburn pushed Chuck on Bruce and made him hire him on his staff.

haha what the frick

Bruce is the draw, he was the biggest hire in AU basketball history, and it was big time CBB news when he returned to the game

Person is a good recruiter, and perhaps it comes out he paid recruits, but your causation theory is absolutely batshit insane

Also, one of the players is a double Auburn legacy who came to Auburn during one of the most optimistic periods in Auburn basketball history. It's not exactly an "Ole Miss suddenly getting 5 star talent with a high school coach" situation.
