re: Bruce Pearl really did break the alabama fanbase

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).

It is more about being in a system that would allow them to excel. I am not sure either one would have been half the player they were at any other SEC School. Imagine what Sexton could have done under Bruce. Most of the elite players do not like to work at playing that type of fast Basketball because of conditioning and you are not guaranteed to get the ball on every possession. That is why Johnson was talked about at most practices this year. His time is coming.
