He actually had a team, Pope did not.

Also, Pearl didn’t walk into an SEC as strong as what Pope just walked into, so don't give me this bullshit about Pope having it easier than what Pearl had.

In 2014, it was UK, Florida and everybody else, Pearl got his start in a very weak SEC.

pearl walked into the same situation. Yet didnt have the portal like pope has now. Ita you that is bad at this. Auburn was the worst power 5 job in the country when pearl arrived. Hell we had a player get in trouble for point shaving the year before pearl came. uK was far better off

Bama without Sears would look like different team. Just call it like it is. Every team has injuries but not every team has injuries to the most important position on the court, including our best defender.
