Here are their records the five years prior to his arrival, and yet he recruited kids somehow. He had several building years and didn't make the tournament until his 4th year, but he had to recruit the kids he had this year at some point, didn't he?
2009-10 - 15-17
2010-11 - 11-20
2011-12 - 15-16
2012-13 - 9-23
2013-14 - 14-16
No excuses - gotta sign good kids eventually. Of course, program success counts a little, but not making the NCAAs for a few years doesn't doom a program's recruiting.
Pearl won 18 games his third year, but didn't play post-season. Still signed good recruits before and after that year.
