HoosierPal Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 1 hour ago, VeniceMenace said: Speculation: A couple nights before the Indiana-Kentucky all star game, the Kentucky senior all stars played the junior all stars. Pearson and the seniors lost by a point, but he had 24 points and was 7-7 from the FT line. Perhaps Pearson was used differently in the Indiana game, resulting in lower production and parental frustration. From someone at the game, Pearson wasn't the main KY Alpha Dog in the ASG. My contact really wasn't focused on Pearson, and didn't remember much of what he did. His play didn't grab anyone's attention. As everyone knows, ASG are pretty much run and gun. Getting only 7 shots may not have been what the Pearson family envisioned. Bottom line, Pearson wasn't featured. Did that get Mom upset? Maybe it did, or maybe it didn't.

I just won't read it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old guy Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Assuming, and I can be wrong, that Pearson's mom tweet was directed to the tournament game and not to us, AND hoping that there are no qualification issues with the new recruits, my thought is that Welmer will be the one to step out. This is pure speculation, not better and not worse than all the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOne Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 8 hours ago, kshoe said: You guys are way off on Pearson’s motivation for not coming. The tweet may have been in reference to his use in the all-star game. As for why he’s not coming, think more along the lines of a sick relative that he wants to stay near. 8 hours ago, bauman said: Shoe, it sounds like you have some actual knowledge of the situation. I can't imagine you speculating about a sick relative, that's not your style. 8 hours ago, brianstl said: I don’t think that is what the issue was. Actually, this IS reportedly indeed the issue.

SLU_Lax Posted June 10, 2018 Share Posted June 10, 2018 Regardless of what Pearson does and where he goes, I will quietly root for him and hope for what is best for him. It sounds like he has important priorities that are changing to balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to see some more official type word. If DJ is in fact on campus does that mean he has done what is required academically to qualify? Wiley is just a timing issue as is Isabell, but DJ is a qualification issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would screenshot it and post it on here but that feels a little stalker-ish for my taste.

He would have to sit out a year I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
