Steven Pearl

I know he is Bruce's boy but I went to the North Alabama exhibition last night and this kid is the worst athlete in Div. I basketball. I seriously wouldn't even let him play on my YMCA basketball team on account of him being so bad. I just dont understand why Bruce embarreses this kid and lets him at all. Whats worse is I have seen him in the past getting playing time against respectable competition when the game is on the line. I wish Bruce would take the blinders off because this kid gives me a good laugh everytime I see him play.

his minutes will only be to spell Tyler, J.P. and anybody else in the wing. typically he gets in the game just before halftime if someone gets a 2nd foul. Steven is a Carson newman type player but he isnt wasting a scholarship so hey let him go beat up the opposing team. he does play physical.

Get off the kids back!!! He hustles when he plays and CBP is not giving him someone elses minutes!!!! He averaged nearly 30ppg in high school. Besides he is not on scholorship, whats the difference between him and Tanner Wild? Only that he is CBP's kid, I'll bet he would abuse your behind weezer!

Didn't people say the same thing about Dane?

I know he isn't the caliber of Dane, but if he plays hard and gives his all, well can't argue with that.

He will not be he downfall of this team.

He won't get meaningful minutes once the regular season begins.

He's a freebee, small relief role and good tough practice player once the season starts! Certainly doesn't deserve those peckerwood statements, I would like to know the thread starters Div 1 stats and accomplishments?



Thats what I thought!!

You should compare Jordan to Scotty Hopson / same position same cost!
Steven to Tanner Wild / different position same cost!

Even though he is the coach's son he seems a better deal!!!!

He has played in the NCAA tournament, meaningful minutes too. He has no business playing anything but garbage time.

Let me put this out there. To all of you who think that for some reason you have to have played high level basketball to criticize players and coaches, the next time you feel like criticizing say Congress or the President, remember that you have never been Senators or the President before.
