Recruit Says Bruce Pearl Sent A Beautiful Girl To Tell Him To Attend Tennessee

Small forward Jordan Adams is one of the many prospects out of Oak Hill Academy, and ESPN has him ranked as the 50th best recruit in the nation. He's going to UCLA in the fall, but they weren't the only ones who were interested: Bruce Pearl, while still at Tennessee, apparently called in the services of one of his top recruiting specialists:

Do you have any funny or interesting recruiting stories?

[Laughing] Yeah, well, he's fired now, so… we had a game [during the high school season] and there was this girl, she was beautiful. She came up to me and started talking to me and told me she went to Tennessee. She said Bruce Pearl sent her. I kind of knew she was kind of a groupie, but she was just so beautiful I just had to talk to her… I had to talk to her, she was beautiful.

Sounds like Tennessee's vaunted hostesses/courtesans hit the road on occasion.
