I like Bruce, for some reason I have back when he was at UT. I think with his desire and drive thrown in with his coaching ability, he's a great catch.
I would have agreed with you 5 years ago on him leaving. He is recruiting on a level now at auburn where he can win titles. Also with NIL now and how much money SEC schools have and are going to have it’s changed the game a bit. He can win big at auburn and can pay to get top players here. Auburn has all the money and resources he needs.
You may be correct, but what I understand, he's always coveted the UK job.
Recruiting has also changed. For example the transfer portal has become just as big if not bigger than recruiting high schoolers. Look at Baylor last year. Especially when it comes to poaching guys from small schools. Auburn has 4 transfers playing big time minutes this season. Kentucky has multiple starters that are transfers.
Don't forget a 3-year show-cause. A very prestigious achievement that not many coaches can claim.
Pearl hasn’t done anything worse than quite a few coaches that are already in the ball of fame have done. Including John calipari. Jom Chaney should have not been held back. He would have kicked the shit out of cal
Yes sir, I understand, I am talking big stage, like Duke, Kansas, North Carolina, Kentucky and so on. The ones that get the coverage.
Summoning the goons with pitchforks to go batshit on a voter because Auburn didn't get voted #1..... LOL.
I just think the stage is changing in basketball. You have football programs now putting tons of resources into basketball. That wasn’t Happening before
Big Dick Bruce would NEVER leave Auburn, DUMBASS!!! He has tiger blood in his veins!!!!!!!11!!!!!!!!!!!1111!!!!!!!!!!
Well nobody has ever accused Bruce of being humble. 😆
I hear he's won a lower-level championship too. Don't forget that.
Have you ever heard of a coach named Ben McCollum? Me neither, but he has won 3 of the last 4 D-II nattys. HoF here he comes!
I won’t be losing the bet so I am not sure why you are giving me an avatar@AuHoosier420 I have the perfect avatar for our bet. You can use it now and I won't make you use it for the month afterwards.
Bruce pearl isn’t leaving Auburn. Steven pearl will be auburns next head coach when Bruce retires
@AuHoosier420 I have the perfect avatar for our bet. You can use it now and I won't make you use it for the month afterwards.
Absolutely.. Greg Sankey spearheaded the rise in sec basketball. We Kentucky fans appreciate it.
You seem to be pretty annoying
Holy Shit.
I laughed.So you're the one!!
Kentucky clearly has an incredibly rich basketball history and have had some all time greats come through their program. Definitely many more than Auburn. But who is better than Charles?
I'm sure they would try but Bruce seems pretty happy at Auburn. We would likely match anything they could offer. It wouldn't make a lot of sense for him to make that jump, would it?
Good point. I was talking NBA to myself in my head. College I'm sure there are several that had better careers at Kentucky.
Despite their recent transgressions. UL is a borderline blue blood. They're like KU in a sense they just have 3 titles, but all their other stats add up. Plus, don't sneeze at the amount of money they generate.
There's a few that have more rings than Charles....but that could be anybody, not just guys that played for UK.
Who has had a better overall basketball career from Kentucky than Charles Barkley has had?
We aren’t talking about rings. Roll players can get rings. We are talking individual career
I am alright with comparing Charles Barkley’s overall basketball career to anyone Kentucky has. You would have already named someone if you had some they could legit compare.
