its all Under Armours' fault


It is actually a valid reason for Pearl to pass on the job if you keep up with high school basketball recruiting at all

I can think of bigger reasons to pass on the AU job. That is why I have said all along that he will not be at AU.

If AU didn't ruin their local AAU connections, Under Armour wouldn't be the biggest deal just an obstacle.

If you are a guy attempting to recruit at a high level, being at an Under Armour school seriously handicaps that

Why spend money on a big name like Pearl, the recruits don't want to play in UA shoes. They don't fit good.


Has nothing to do with how shoes fit. It is all about AAU, recruiting, camps and access- money. Someone summed it up pretty well:
When it comes to basketball Nike is the Pacific Ocean, Addidas is Lake Superior and UA is a muddy hole in the back yard. You may or may not agree but this is an opinion that a lot of people have.

Do you think the interest will be this high in Jim Tressell when his show cause elapses?

He actually won a NC and major conference championships.

Louisiana is going to the tourney and they are a Russell school.

I'm aware of all the excuses. I was mocking the AU fans that were arguing with me on this forum a couple of days ago, saying the players would not sign because the shoes don't fit.

Will be curious to see, timing will also be in play. One think I do think, no school will be hiring him months before his show cause ends

interest will be this high


is interest really high? Are there any other programs actively pursuing him at the moment?

In reality by the schools? No.

By fanbases? Yes.

It was said.

The AAU thing is really only a problem for guy's who do all their recruiting via the AAU circuit.

Plenty of players in HS and JUCO are not involved in the AAU recruiting games.

What is this is all a ploy for Bruce Pearl to get more followers on Twitter?
