re: Bruce Pearl really did break the alabama fanbase

Harper and Brown are huge losses. People trying to downplay their losses are kidding themselves. There is a slight chance Harper comes back though. Sharife Cooper would be huge if we could get him and he reclassifies.

Those 2 had elite skillsets that were sharpened over tons and tons of intense big time games. They had no fear to take the big shot and get to the rim. Harper was always the guy I looked at as the lynchpin for Auburn next year. If he came back I'm not sure they'd miss a beat. If he goes, that's basically a start over job (in terms of team identity and all that).

That's hard to replace. I'm sure Bruce will figure out some ways and the team will be different, because he's a very good coach. But it's tough to lose both your dudes.
