Message: [QUOTE="stone567, post: 178805, member: 1127"] Pearl was the most dominating player I have ever watched wear a Syracuse uniform. As great as Sherm, Stevie, DC, Rony Billy Owens, Lawrence Moten, John Wallace, Melo, Hak, Flynn and Wes Johnson were, not one of them were as dominating as Pearl. And I thought those guys were tremendous players. But, Pearl could take on a whole team by himself. And it was a thing of beauty. Melo was close as a dominating player, but Pearl was still on a different level. Sometimes I feel that Pearl is one of the most under-appreciated players in SU history. I hear that Sherm was the greatest guard, Coleman the greatest big man, Owens the best all around player and Moten or Melo the greatest scorers, they never completely dominated like Pearl. You had to see him to fully appreciate him. Pearl is a big reason why the program is what it is today, and sometimes I dont think he gets enough credit. [/QUOTE]
