Best wishes, Pearl!

I still have trouble reconciling that my favorite college player of all time went to Syracuse but, alas, it is true. No one was better than Pearl when I was in high school.

Pearl was fun to watch for sure back in the ole Big East days. I wish him well and hope things work out.
