Will Auburn turn out like 2017 South Carolina?

Will they become an every year contender and build the program with this momentum building tournament run or will they revert back to being an average team like South Carolina did after their historic Final Four run?

Bruce can recruit.

He has no problem doing what he has to do to get guys to come in and run his system. Hell if FM could keep half of the top tier talent in state he could be a contender yearly

Bruce recruits better than Frank.

And he’s good at finding those underrated guys who fit in his system

Yes
Bruce already has a strong class lined up next year and has done this before.
Auburn has the 11th ranked recruiting class right now
Ours was 64

I also wouldn't care this at ALL to our run.
We were a Cinderella run.
This Auburn team won the conference and is a much better team than our 2017 team.

lulz ..... I love how everyone is singing Bruce’s praises and declaring him vastly superior to Frank.
#1 - Bruce plays the AAU game and pushes the limits of the rules which is something I wish Frank would do. However, in all likelihood, it will bite Bruce in the arse again.
#2 - Even Bruce admits that FM owns him. He’s said it publicly.
#3 - Frank was behind the 8 ball after his Final Four run because of a BB gun and a dumbass PG who failed to take advantage of a second chance.
#4 - Frank signed better players from out of state than those that left the state and, in the process, signed guys that wanted to be here and were not influenced by a crooked AAU system in state that directs players out of state for money.
#5 - Bruce and Frank have very similar coaching styles if you really look at it and know what you are seeing. The myth that Frank doesn’t play a hurry-up fast paced style of offense is bullshite.
#6 - Injury bug and youth hurt Frank big time this season. Most of the season we were playing with 6-7 healthy scholarship players. shite happens.
#7 - I’m pulling for Auburn and Bruce in a big way in this tourney and I promise you, there are going to be some epic battles between Frank and Bruce in coming years.

Bruce had Tennessee rolling 10 years ago. He's doing the same thing at Auburn, it just took a little longer to build that foundation.

All I know is both have been to a Final Four more recently than Kentucky.

It’s a possibility,’but not all likelihood.

And then beat Frank in the SEC tournament. Bruce and Frank have a great competitive but friendly rivalry. Let’s just leave it at that.
Before tbe SEC tournament, I’d say FM was a better x’s o’s coach,but I don’t think that really matters anymore. Bruce just bested Self, Roy Williams, and Calipari. What Bruce does works.

I think as long as Auburn can hang on to Pearl, AU is likely an every-year NCAA Tournament team.... which is huge for a program like Auburn.
It will probably take some magic to get back to the Final 4 again, but its possible. I think they'll be a typical 4-9 seed most every year for the foreseeable future.

Bruce can cheat****.

Meh.
Pearl is one hell of a coach. Don't see them taking too many steps back.
Down year here and there, sure. Even we have those.

Shockingly they actually beat UK while not shooting well at all from 3. (7/23)
They crushed UNC and Kansas shooting extremely well from 3.
So the "if the shots don't fall they're in trouble game" happened. and they won.

Win it all, figs.

I mean, we won the SEC last year just last year. Not like this season came out of nowhere. No, we aren't going to be final 4 contenders year in, year out. Not many are.
