I wonder if he built so much of a brand around it he couldn't get past it in the eyes of recruits. They expect to go to Kentucky on a one year loan whether they need more development or not.I assume Calipari is looking forward to having players that stay more than one year. I wonder if at KY, he had pressure preventing him from building a veteran squad (as opposed to cycling in top recruits every year).
Auburn didn’t do anything for him…. They would hire Ted Bundy if they thought they could win games….. I have to admit that I am right below that level myself.If Pearl goes to KY he's a trash human.
If he goes to KY now after what Auburn did for him and his time in Knoxville no doubt in my mind he would've left us too if he hadn't gotten show-caused.
Auburn gave him a chance when he came off show cause. Most programs would not have done that and steered clear. Dude didn't coach anywhere for 10 years after cheating and got hired to a solid SEC program. They've supported him fully his entire tenure there. They absolutely did do a lot for him.Auburn didn’t do anything for him…. They would hire Ted Bundy if they thought they could win games…..

They didn’t give him a chance…. they hired him bc he is a winner…. Same as Hugh Freeze…. Auburn didn’t care about the Hookers…. the lies… using a company phone…ncaa violations….. trying to ruin another man’s reputation….. They cared about winning… Some other team would have given Pearl a chance… just like Liberty gave Freeze a chance…..Auburn gave him a chance when he came off show cause.

Yet.Winning in a less competitive conference with less talent is not the same as winning in the SEC. She'll have to recruit at a much higher level and she does not have the relationships with the kind of players we need.
