Old guy Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Pearson asked for a release claiming his grandmother was ill and he wanted to stay near her. There was a lot of discussion in the board about this. Once he got the release he posted an "I'm now available" notice. He wanted to play for Kentucky and thought he was the hottest thing available after coming a runner up in the KY Mr. Basketball designation. He had some interest but decided to go to prep school instead. I believe he was expecting offers to rain on him and apparently none did. He is going to TCU and as I have mentioned many times before I hope he rots sitting on the bench. This guy truly thought he was too good for us. This is my recollection of the Pearson event.

Pistol Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 Had a SLU offer (which was honestly his best for a while), signed with Penn State, got out of his LOI, got offers from the top half of the ACC, committed to Virginia. He had a monster senior year and leveled up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you're telling me SLU is losing recruiting battles to Central Connecticut State? Things are not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moytoy12 Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 Wasn't quite sure where to put this, but seems Jameer Nelson Jr. wanted to really stick it to St. Joes. Pistol likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RiseAndGrind Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 Robert Carpenter to the Bonnies. Because i refuse to admit that T Ford would ever lose a recruiting battle to the Bonnie’s I feel like someone should be coming our way soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquinas Posted May 1, 2019 Share Posted May 1, 2019 We need 2 big guys with the 2 remaining scholarships. We don't need a 6'6" small forward at this time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am OK w 1 grad transfer big and pocket the remaining scholarship if we cannot get 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bonnies have plenty of minutes for a combo forward. CBFan likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol Posted May 2, 2019 Author Share Posted May 2, 2019 Closing the loop on a former SLU offer - I don't think we'd been recruiting him for quite some time. I figured he'd end up in the Valley, Horizon, or MAC. D-II is a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
