Pearl comments on players staying in school

[vols2345]

Are you telling me that since his mom and dad are millionaires he won't care to lose over 5 mil?? I highly doubt that. You can't live off of mommy and daddy.

He'll make plenty. If he were concerned about the money, he would have come out. Other than Oden, there aren't any additions to the draft list next year he needs to worry about going ahead of him. He needs to be more concerned about Al Horford being selected before him.

Too bad he is the ugliest man I have ever seen in my life... I might actually like him. Its hard to like a basketball player that looks like a turtle on crack.

Perhaps Noah will have more FUN playing in college next year than in the NBA. That is what he has to gain.

Whenever I always saw Noah play, for some reason I got the feeling he played a lot of "me, me, me" ball. For this reason I was hoping he would leave and go pro. That way he would fit right in with the NBA. But with him staying, I wonder if we haven't already seen him at the top of his game. How long can he stay at the top? But anyway, I feel sure Bruce and the guys will be ready for him again this year.

You are the only person in the entire world that feels that way. The success of that entire team, including Noah, was based on passing the ball to the hot or open shooter. Selfishness is one trait none of those guys displayed this past year.

I concur.

I especially enjoyed the bounce pass to Dane Bradshaw at the end of the game.

When was the last time someone came back to school and suffered an injury that really hurt their draft status? I think that concern is always overstated.

well it did happen this year with jason allen.

john henderson and malehona hurt their draft status coming back

You're absolutely 100% correct. At no point next year will Noah play four games in five nights guarding Duncan, Nowitski, Garnett, and K-Mart. The NBA is a job. I travel a great deal for work. I can't imagine logging the miles I do, then going to the arena and guarding one of those guys in the post every other night.

The part I would hate would be all those women throwing themselves at the players after the game. that must be terrible. They probably get little if any sleep.

I've never met a big time college athlete who had any trouble finding companionship on campus.

There's no doubt about that.

It's good for the SEC that Noah and his teammates returned. They should be the #1 team to open the season, and should be in the top 5 most, if not all of the year. I think it does help recruiting when the conference does well, and the SEC should be pretty good this year.

Whoa . . . an actual on topic post.

I agree with you 100% although I think Noah probably should have declared.
