In Basketball.

How long does it take, though? Aren't you one of the ones saying it's not that difficult? It's all about the RECRUITS! He's had 3 years. That's a complete roster in a young roster sport.

His first class was not top 25, it was #34. Next 2 classes were top 15. So he's got 3 years worth of his guys - and highly regarded recruits - and he's still #11 in a league that's very top heavy.

In truth, it really is a double standard. Or contradiction, if you prefer.

I spelled it out pretty well above.

He came in 2014 with a bunch of Barbee's guys on the roster. He only had a couple spots open, one of which was a 2 yr juco.

So, in 2015, he had 4 of 6 leading scorers graduate.

So starts over in year 2 (2015-16) from scratch. One of his three recruits from 2014 leaves school for personal reasons. Team flubs through the year. He brought in a grad xfer who graduates. Cinmeon Bowers graduates. And one of his other recruits decides to leave for the NBA. And one of his top recruits redshirts.


So, again, (going into 2016-17) he loses his top scorers.

So this year (2016-17), for the most part, he's stated four frosh (one of them being the redshirt from 2015) and a sophomore. Barring the unforeseen, he will be returning all of them, plus a transfer from Presbyterian who averaged 20 ppg, and have three reserves who played time this year, plus two top 50 recruits.

The only senior they will have (again barring transfer or issues) is some cat who averages 4.5 ppg and he will be replaced by the #7 overall guy that Bruce has locked up for 2018.

Again, I'd buy that stock.

If you have to pull-in that many excuses, then I think the point is made.

There's the thing with chasing recruiting. It can be a slippery slope. Results are what matters. He ain't getting it done - no matter the excuses, the recruits, whatever. Maybe he will in year 4.

In fact, that summary reminds me of the Pastner years. So glad they're having to justify and not me.

Not justifying anything.

Dude now has a balanced roster with eight returning players including all five starters, a 20 ppg transfer, and two top 50 recruits.

Bottom line: excuse time is over. NCAA or bust. But with that being said, it is easier as a fan to be patient with a couple of disappointing years when all signs are pointing to success.

And...we can revisit this in a year.

Sounds like Pearl is loaded, sweet 16 baby.

I think the absence of hope - anchored on reality - is weighing heavily on Tiger fans this season and for future seasons. We could lose our best player next year and the reinforcements to date does not prompt confidence for a quick turnaround.

Even last year I held out hope that we could earn an NCAA bid based on sheer talent alone and indeed we came within one game of doing it. I do not have the same hope this year.

Why in the world would you expect anything this year. My expectations We're maybe NIT, and that was only in passing.

WE HAVE AN UNBALANCED TEAM.

Simple...should have beaten Monmouth. Up by 12 in the 2nd half. Lost.

Should have beaten Temple at least once. They are 4-11 in the AAC when not playing the Tigers.

Should have held onto a 17 point lead vs. UConn.

Should have beaten Tulsa.

Could have beaten any of OM/UH/Providence.

In any event, just win the above 4 (three of which Memphis had double digit leads) and Memphis is sitting at 22-7. Fat on the bubble and maybe in as poor as the bubble is this year.

That.Damn.Easy.

Auburn should have hired Forbes, he's winning in the Southern conference.

Geez, how much talent does he have down at auburn?

Next year is the year! He's moving from 11th place to 9th!

The beauty about all this (like the Shaka stuff above) is that it's documented and can be brought up again.

We'll see.

That's where you have the advantage. You obviously track this kind of stuff and bring up the ones you want. I will have long forgotten this in a year.

Couldn't be too easy Pearl hasn't been able to do it with more resources at Auburn. And way more time. He's younger, I figure he's playing golf and chasing tail.

You claimed he wouldn't be able to recruit well at Auburn because of the Under Armour deal. Wrong again?

Does that change anything about the fact of the talent we had on this team...

Just in this thread you made excuses for Pearl losing his top scorers as the reason he is in 11th place in the SEC yet Tubby should be in the tourney

Losing the only shooter on a team needing shooters
The best big to graduation other big to dropout on a team needing size
Losing 4 out your top 5 scorers

Leaving Tubby with 0 shooters
A point guard who struggles going right and shooting
entire front court that struggles guarding on every night
And one guy who can get his own shot

...Oh the irony...Either you aren't bright or your not being honest here.

You respond to specifics with generalizations.

Make a case not some broad b.s.

Beat Monmouth. Fugging Monmouth.
Beat Tulsa.
Don't lose at Home to a sh1tty Temple team.
Don't blow a 17 point lead to a team you already smoked.

Last 4 in/first 4 out.

That simple. With essentially the 6 guys Josh left for him.

Should have beaten Tulsa.

Could have beaten any of OM/UH/Providence.

In any event, just win the above 4 (three of which Memphis had double digit leads) and Memphis is sitting at 22-7. Fat on the bubble and maybe in as poor as the bubble is this year.

That.Damn.Easy.

Does that change anything about the fact of the talent we had on this team...

Just in this thread you made excuses for Pearl losing his top scorers as the reason he is in 11th place in the SEC yet Tubby should be in the tourney

Losing the only shooter on a team needing shooters
The best big to graduation other big to dropout on a team needing size
Losing 4 out your top 5 scorers

Leaving Tubby with 0 shooters
A point guard who struggles going right and shooting
entire front court that struggles guarding on every night
And one guy who can get his own shot

...Oh the irony...Either you aren't bright or your not being honest here.

You respond to specifics with generalizations.

Make a case not some broad b.s.

Beat Monmouth. Fugging Monmouth.
Beat Tulsa.
Don't lose at Home to a sh1tty Temple team.
Don't blow a 17 point lead to a team you already smoked.

Last 4 in/first 4 out.

That simple. With essentially the 6 guys Josh left for him.

Silly talk...How about you say that Tubby has over achieved based on the talent he had returning because you feel like Bruce is doing just fine with the talent he has returning.

Tubby could have lost to USC, Oklahoma, Houston @ Houston and Iowa but hey lets ignore those facts...Swap your 4 bad losses with these wins then is that better.

You are just being argumentative and dishonest at this point.

WE HAVE AN UNBALANCED TEAM.

Simple...should have beaten Monmouth. Up by 12 in the 2nd half. Lost.

Should have beaten Temple at least once. They are 4-11 in the AAC when not playing the Tigers.

Should have held onto a 17 point lead vs. UConn.

Should have beaten Tulsa.

Tubby has NOTHING to do with Bruce. Period. Furthermore, I said nothing of the sorts about Pearl. Last year was a miss for him.

This year showed a glimpse of what the next couple years should provide, since (for the 1000th time) HE IS RETURNING ALL STARTERS, THREE RESERVES, BRINGING IN A TRANSFER WHO SCORED 20 PPG, AND ENROLLING TWO TOP 50 RECRUITS.

And as for Tubby--good lord, you are the engineer of the Excuse Train. Chug chug. Keep pulling the cargo of low expectations and no accountability. Choo choo.

Even last year I held out hope that we could earn an NCAA bid based on sheer talent alone and indeed we came within one game of doing it. I do not have the same hope this year.

Monmouth has like a 43 RPI and has a chance to be in the tournament.

RE: Bruce Pearl is 15-38 in the SEC since going to Auburn
Where was Bruce at, at 10 months? 20 months?

Bruce has been at Auburn, with all of their resources, for years now. What has took him so long? I think he has either been chasing tail, or he's trying to be more careful cheating?

Either way he failed to fix Auburn in 10 months.
