Pearl is barred from talking to high school and AAU coaches about recruits, too, which has proven difficult. Pearl is leaning on assistants Tony Jones, Chuck Person and Harris Adler on the recruiting trail in the meantime. The coach has also scheduled a basketball camp for "elite" prospects on the day his show-cause penalty ends: Aug. 24.

Auburn could potentially add an additional player for the 2014-15 season, but time is running out.
