Message: [QUOTE="corgiblaze, post: 1741915, member: 5137"] Georgetown grad, Class of 1978 here. I've posted a few times about Pearl here. He was an electric player who was instrumental in the growth of the Big East and the rivalry between our respective schools. As one of the posters on the HoyaTalk board noted, Pearl was the only player who ever made Gene Smith, a Hoya defensive genius, look ordinary. With Pearl's passing, all of us are united in mourning this singular person; as great as he was on the court, he was even a better man off of it. Requiescat in pace, Pearl. The Hoya community joins Orange Nation in fond remembrance, and please accept our sincere condolences. [/QUOTE]
