Bruce Pearl

If you take what Pearl said at face-value, he wants to go to a school that has another sport which has won championships and he wants to rebuild the men's basketball program to get at that same level. Think about those schools that have premier football programs, yet have lacked on the basketball side... and a school that MIGHT have an opening in a year or two

One HUGE one comes to mind...

Auburn.

The Tigers haven't been a consistent winner on the court, and Tony Barbee has been very lackluster down there. Pearl has coached in the south before and he can coach there again.

Another program that come to mind:
Georgia (another school that has tradition in football - and national championships to back it up - Fox could be shown the door)

And the wildcard:
Texas (better than Auburn on the court, but Rick Barnes hasn't had the results lately - football team has several national titles but the basketball program is still second fiddle)

Alabama came to mind for me.

Do you really think that Thomas was the only player Illinois tried to buy?

Don't put words in mouth. I know Illinois has bought tons of players. The Bruce Pearl-Illinois incident involved Deon Thomas not Marcus Liberty. That's all I said. I didn't say it in a rude way...just getting the name right before someone else smarted off about it. Chill!

That blacklisted Iowa from Chicago recruits for years. Who's the best player we got out of Chicago since then? Pierre Pierce?

Pierce and Tony Freeman are the only players I can think of that the Hawks have pulled from the Chicago area since the Pearl incident.

Until this November when Tyler Ulis signs on the dotted line for the Hawks.

Liberty was only a couple of years before Deon and Pearl allegedly did report Illinois to the NCAA on the Liberty recruitment as well. Clearly, he probably had good reasons to report them, based on Liberty's own admissions.

He'll take over in Ames next year when Hoiberg moves to the NBA. Pearl and Pollard = birds of a feather.

You were probably joking but I would love pearl. What did he do at UT other than invite ol' rosy cheeks from osu to a BBQ?

I don't remember putting anything in your mouth and you're the one getting bent out of shape.
