AU has less talent than any team in the SEC. In 2 years they will have one of the better teams in the conference .

No, but I don't get the hype.

Or you're just clueless.

2013-14 Auburn: 129th in KenPom
2014-15 Auburn: 141th in KenPom

Maybe you're not worse, but you're certainly not better. Your record is going to be about identical, your RPI is going to be about identical, and your efficiency ratings are slightly worse.

The only difference from last season to this season is the guy standing at the sidelines.

So why is your KenPom worse? That's what KenPom measures.

Perception is a weird thing.

pearl already has a top 15 recruiting class coming in next year, so you are a moron if you think the nit is the best he will do on a regular basis.

You're a moron if you think highly-rated recruiting classes are guaranteed to get you consistently into the NIT.

Bruce was good at every school he's been at before Auburn. It's a little early to judge based on the roster that Barbee left him with.

I'm not judging him based on this team. I've never been a fan of Pearl.

I just find it humorous that people think this Auburn team is significantly better than last year's Auburn team.

It's definitely not significantly better. It's definitely more entertaining though.

Last year, we had a more complete roster and this is pieced together last minute because of Barbee's incompetence.

Of course you're not. He owned Florida. And he's proven he recruits well and those recruits equate to success on the court.

the odds of pearl being successful at auburn is probably better than the odds of your bucktooth football coach being successful. god knows pearl has a better resume and the recruiting class he is bringing in this year is similar to the classes he rode to the ncaa tournament every single year at tennessee

Hell no. He's probably the 2nd best coach in the SEC, behind only Cal. It may take a few years, but he'll have Auburn up to 2nd in the SEC behind only UK.
