Dual-Threat Rigby 8,673 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 I’m of the opinion that Bruce Pearl has done more to raise the ceiling for potential star level talent of the last half decade. If someone wanted to say Barnes has done more to develop castaways, I’d be fine with that, but if I was Phillips, I’d at least have that in my mind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If someone wanted to say Barnes has done more to develop castaways, I’d be fine with that, but if I was Phillips, I’d at least have that in my mind Yeah, the only top level recruits in that time span who didn't raise their draft stock are Coop, whom we only saw briefly, and Jabari, who didn't have much room up to go. Everyone else who was a 4 star or better has increased their draft stock. The big thing that playing for Bruce seems to develop in kids, at least to my uneducated eye, is defensive presence. Maybe he just attracts recruits who are naturally gifted in that direction, but the calling card of a Pearl centerpiece star is an extremely well balanced game. From what I've seen of high school basketball, kids aren't learning much defense before getting to college, so deductive reasoning suggests Bruce is teaching/honing in on that kind of thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing explicitly wrong with your post, it just seems redundant is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewhiz7 273 Posted May 2, 2022 Share Posted May 2, 2022 Once I stopped to think about the number of players Bruce has improved their professional stock it is impressive. Okeke, Harper, Brown, Kessler, Thor, AF until he got hurt and I think he even improved Jabari some. I know he was already going to be a high pick but I don't think he was possible #1 coming in.

I don't think he was viewed as being quite so likely a #1 before the season, but he was viewed largely in the same light then. But Bruce did definitely develop him from where he started. Again, I'd bet a great deal of the defensive form Jabari showed came from Pearl. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't need the thread derailed again. Yes, teenagers change their minds constantly. We will never know until Phillips announce himself. Florida had momentum with Broome until Bruce and Steven Pearl had the last in home visit with Broome and his father. You just never know with teenagers. If Phillips picks another school besides Auburn, I don't see it as a big blow because a a couple of months ago Auburn was never in the picture until he decomimitted from LSU. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
