On the Trail

Mark Fox really doesn't want to talk about Bruce Pearl.  He did answer a question or two, though, including this one:

Fox then was asked if Pearl's hiring made it a bit harder on the recruiting trail.

"Not necessarily," Fox said. "It's a challenge no matter what. He did a good job at Tennessee, and I'm sure he'll do a good job at Auburn."

The last thing we need is to make recruiting harder on Fox.  The reality, though, is that Pearl is going to pound Atlanta, and Fox better be prepared to raise his game to a whole new level.

This isn't new, and this was the case whether or not Pearl came back to the SEC.  However, the pressure just got turned up.  Big time.
