cheeseman Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 What do you think Ford told Pearson as to how he was going to be used? What do you think Pearson was expecting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG BILL FAN Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Pearson started last night and had 9 points in the Ky/In all star game, won by Kentucky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billikenbooster Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 I think every freshman dreams of walking in and contributing day 1. He may have had a wake up call, either from the coach or from playing with the guys, and would rather be ‘the man’ elsewhere. i truly have no idea. MP may have been the one with qualifying issues. I’m just being a fan and bemoaning possibly not following him for 4 years. mhg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kmbilliken Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 What ever happened to coming in and earning your playing time? If you are that good, the coach is going to have you on the court. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billikenbooster Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Yeah. I like that he was third on his all star team in minutes, 2/2 in FT, 3 Reb. Still would like him to play for us. mhg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kshoe Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been following Pearson throughout his senior year, and have been anticipating his joining SLU and developing under TF guidance. Would be disappointed if he got away. mhg Something needs to happen since I believe we have 14 known possible scholarship players: (Sorry Roy, but I'm not going to type 14 full names) 2 GTs-DW and TI, JG, HF, KCH, CAG, FT, DJ, JB (no not Bishop), LS, DJF, EW, MP and IG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

The tweet may have been in reference to his use in the all-star game. I was going down this path, kshoe, when I saw your post. I think it is highly likely the tweet was referencing his situation on the KY All Stars. I have zero knowledge of what is going on, but if Mom was disappointed in SLU, she would have sent her message out earlier. The timing of the message to me suggests issues with the KY All Star staff. But I am just guessing like the rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlarry Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 Seems odd to complain about anything when it comes to an All-star game. I would think the tweet was referencing the Bills. Oh well...next man up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
