The ALREADY want him down here for the U basketball program.
The U has a basketball team? I honestly didn't know.
Yep, can't beat that experience of knowing what you can and can't get away with, with the NCAA....Neither did I! LOL! The U is in a hotbed of basketball talent but most of the talent is leaving the state or going to UF. They need a charismatic coach down here and they are thinking Pearl would be perfect.

Pearl's departure has already affected Tennessee's recruiting. Highly touted senior guard Kevin Ware of Rockdale County (Ga.) High School, who is ranked 91st overall and 27th at shooting guard in the ESPNU 100, has asked to be released from his commitment to the Vols, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.
Ware, who has been committed to Tennessee since his sophomore year, said he requested his release last week. He said he "didn't have a good feeling about the situation" after talking to Pearl on the phone last Thursday, according to the report. Tennessee would need to approve Ware's request.
