Pearl to Auburn

Bruce Pearl is going to be the next coach at Auburn:
"I'm humbled and blessed to be back in the game that I love," Pearl told the school's website. "I don't know how long it will take, but it's time to rebuild the Auburn basketball program and bring it to a level of excellence so many of the other teams on campus enjoy."
Is there a chance he'll build Auburn into a powerhouse?  Absolutely.  The man can recruit and the man can coach.

Is there also a chance he'll have his first NCAA violation under his belt by next fall?  Absolutely.  If you've never read his history, now would be a good time.  Let's just say if another coach has a chance to bust him, don't think it won't happen.

We do know the SEC just got tougher.  That's a good thing for the conference and, by extension, should be a good thing for Georgia basketball.
