WarEagle84 0 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 He can't recruit until late August, but apparently his name alone is worth a lot to some recruits: Garrett Tucker @GTuckerF150 Bruce Pearl effect already beginning in recruiting. High-level recruit says he is going to be very interested in Auburn now with hire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jojo1515 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Technically, the recruiting thread is for all sports (though 99 percent has been football). I think Bruce is gonna force this site to adapt....and split recruiting into football, bball and all others. Willie Atwood, one of the nations top Juco PFs has already expressed interest and a hope to visit!!! AU Bball just hit a never before seen level of national prominence without BP having even had a press conference yet. Its gonna be a fun ride!

InfernoOrangeSS 321 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Every recruit in the country that is watching ESPN's coverage of the Tourney is getting a dose of Pearl. This is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homersapien 11,357 Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 He can't recruit until late August, but apparently his name alone is worth a lot to some recruits: Garrett Tucker @GTuckerF150 Bruce Pearl effect already beginning in recruiting. High-level recruit says he is going to be very interested in Auburn now with hire But Auburn can appeal to the NCAA to drop the sanctions before then, right? Also, isn't the restriction only for travel. He can still recruit from Auburn? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, isn't the restriction only for travel. He can still recruit from Auburn? I suppose they could but the likelihood of success is remote. The NCAA could simply just take their time about it and just let the penalties end on their own in August without ever making a ruling of any kind.I am not certain if he can have any contact with recruits except on campus. I don't know if he can phone them or anything like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just an opinion here, but I believe the NCAA will lift the suspension as they have gotten blasted for how overly harsh it was and Pearl has done everything right, took his punishment and never whined about it...also Auburn has the right guys on their Athletic staff to make this appeal happen and quickly....His full return is huge for college basketball, the NCAA knows this.

NoALtiger 3,849 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I imagine Bruce has a plan with regards to 'cruitin. Besides, worst case is August and then it should be full on. Anything other than that is a bonus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,080 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Also, isn't the restriction only for travel. He can still recruit from Auburn? No.. He can not talk to unsigned recruits anywhere.

Why? That makes no sense. BP accepted his penalties 3years ago. Auburn is/was fully aware of all this when they reached out. Under what basis would you think they would ask for the length of penalty to be reduced? I don't look at it like prison where you get reduced time for good behavior. You just hired a guy who was penalized for breaking rules and lying. You don't ask for special treatment. That is just my opinion. My question to you is , under what grounds do you request this? And could it possibly agitate the situation with the NCAA and/or public perception. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keesler 5,924 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Never hurts to ask. "If" it gets lifted early, that's just a bonus for AU, 'cause Bruce is going to blow up this conference real quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And could it possibly agitate the situation with the NCAA and/or public perception. There is no precedent for this. The "show cause" penalty is relatively new, and this is the first time a coach has been hired before his show cause expired. JJ and Bruce have both said they are going to operate under the assumption that it will remain in effect for the full term, but they were going to explore the options and talk to the NCAA. I don't think the NCAA even has any procedures or regulations in place for this kind of thing, so they might have to make it up as they go along (which would strongly favor not changing things now). The only logical argument for reducing the penalty is the length of time it took for the NCAA to impose it (from the end of the basketball season in March until August). He was essentially operating under a de facto show cause during that 5 months, so he has already missed 3 full years of coaching. Auburn and the NCAA are also talking to get clarification on exactly what he is and is not allowed to do during the remainder of the show cause. He's doing a great job so far of staying in front of the public and selling the program to potential recruits in a general sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they do look at things, I doubt they decide anything in time to make any real difference. That assumes they even care to revisit the issue in the first place.

CameronCrazy 1,058 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 I would love to see Bruce Pearl take back the state in recruiting starting with Daniel Purifoy in 2015 and Josh Lankford in 2016. Both are top 40 players, and getting Lankford would put us back in Huntsville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
