Powell isn’t coming here to play 10 min a game. He starts IMO

Vescovi has over seas options and he also isn’t returning to play 10 minutes a game which tells me CRB is facing a challenge to keep everyone bought in since they all can’t start and get 30 minutes a game

All about the Pearl family? Surely not. 😆

I’ve had season tickets since Pearl’s 2nd season and been to most games unless my son had a conflict with his sports.
Some that went with us noticed it and wondered what dirt Pearl’s ex-wife had on him for Pearl to be playing and Jackie to be singing every game.
Others thought he knew he was on his way out and just did what he wanted to and gave opportunities to his family.

It's not bad. It's not lights out, but it's good. He seems very streaky.

His main issue with his shot is it takes him so dang long to get it off. Not a novel observation at all I know, but it would help him a ton to get it off quicker so folks can’t close out on him so easily. From what I’ve seen of Powell, doesn’t seem like that particular issue will be a problem with him

I don't see Vescovi as someone who can "shoot the lights out." If Powell isn't a better shooter than Vescovi, I'll be disappointed.

To be fair, Powell only played like 10 games last year and was 0-6 against the 2 SEC teams he played. Let’s see what Powell can do over the course of the season. Last season was Vescovi’s first full season. They are both still very inexperienced. Vescovi should be up over 40% on threes this season. I think they should both have a pretty similar 3pt %. But if they allow Vescovi to play his natural position for the entirety of the season, it wouldn’t shock me to see him with the better % at seasons end.

Yet he still averaged a team high 5.3 attempts from deep a game, so while I don’t necessarily disagree he has a slower release/set up than some folks it either 1. Isn’t as slow as we think or 2. He’s just really savvy at getting himself extra space…and he was able to do that without a PG setting him up or a post drawing a double and kicking out to him.

There was one game that Stephen Pearl came in and had a calming effect on the team. He got the team together and was essentially another coach on the floor. . . We were relatively successful that year, so you don’t really question it.
The only other thing about that time frame is that Stephen was playing over much more talented players and his sister was singing the Star Spangled banner virtually every game. It came across, to me, as being all about the Pearls.
Regardless of why Pearl was playing over Maymon, my point is still the same towards Uros. But I’m not expecting him to have the same type of impact Maymon had.

I have been in the father coach/son player scenario. It is usually a no-win situation. I mean, the father knows what the son is capable of, and the son often knows exactly what the father wants the team to do. So, of course that connection makes for a better team. However, everyone else in the gym is just waiting to pounce on any perceived unfairness.

In Pearl's case, I think he played him in places where he thought Stephen could help the team. I'm not saying he was perfect, but I don't think you are a winning major college coach, and constantly play favorites.

Another case in point was Coach Houston and his son Allan. He had a great player in his son, but I wonder if no one good was willing to play for him, believing that he would always favor his son.

I believe that having an offensive threat like Allan discouraged other great offensive players from signing, no matter who his dad was. As skilled as Allan was, getting the ball into his hands was always going to be the primary option from his first game. Had he stuck with UL he wouldn’t have immediately been by far their best offensive threat. He was a shooter and a scorer and not nearly as talented at getting his teammates involved in the offense. It was just an unfortunate situation that his surrounding cast was very average. Didn’t help that Wade wasn’t a great developer of talent and he left his recruiting mojo behind in Kentucky. Imagine what TN could have been had somebody like Shaq or Stanley Roberts come to play beside Allan.

Noone good was willing to play for Wade because he was a terrible coach.
