Newness: Program and Mystery

newness: Pearl has gotten used to the mystery created by newness since taking over the Auburn program three years ago. "For the third straight year, we have six or seven new guys on scholarship, so how could you possibly know as a person, as an observer, as somebody in the media or even me as a coach " he said. "Part of the real challenge in building the program is just the fact that the roster has had to be reconstructed, and yet I wouldn't have done it any other way, because there really weren't any other options. "While it may be restructured and very new, we've got eight very, very solid freshmen and sophomores that are all good players, according to Hamilton Spectator. And so now the foundation is built and a good percentage of our team will return next year, and that not something we've had yet." It still makes for an uncertain present even if the future seems bright. Most of the roster is comprised of underclassmen and newcomers, including top recruit Mustapha Heron, redshirt freshman Danjel Purifoy and two graduate transfers. The Tigers are picked to finish 11th in the Southeastern Conference. The Tigers were 11-20 last season amid injury problems and the early departure of star Kareem Canty. Pearl has experienced the first two losing seasons of his 21-year head coaching career since taking over Auburn downtrodden program. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
