I love how people act as if Pearl is the only coach in America who could win at Tennessee.Well deserved and at a good time. I am happy that Mike Hamilton is making that commitment to men's basketball. Guess he has to with all the money that has been spent on the program the last two years. His worst nightmare would be to lose Pearl and therefore lose the basketball program with these huge financial commitments.

One knock on Pearl right now is that Tyler Smith, JuJuan Smith, Lofton, and Dane Bradshaw were all players that Buzz recruited. He's shown what he can do with the talent Buzz has recruited.
It will be pretty interesting to see how Bruce does with Crews, Chism, and Ramar Smith next year. :unsure:
That is why I believe signing Scotty Hopson will be the most important recruit in his tenure, so far.
Tennessee will be just fine next year. And since Tyler actually never came to TN after being recruited by Buzz you cannot claim he is a Buzz recruit.
Had Buzz been here, Tyler would have been here (and probably Jamont Gordon, also).
Pearl wasn't able to convince them to stay with their commitments. Actually, if you really look at it, Pearl has been an average recruiter so far in Tennessee.
Chism is the star of that class, with Crews adding another body down low. Ramar has regressed, seems like.
