And sometimes the D3 kid chooses to stay in D3 over taking the D1 scholarship offer. Milwaukee fan why do we need you here? Yeah and it sucks. And sometimes you get Milwaukee panther fans in a uwgb boards? It doesn't suck, there's more to the story. Either way, I'm not sure he could defend at this level.

We’re talking about a D3 player here, he wasn’t going to come to GB and make any big difference for this team. His choice was between coming off the bench at GB or being a star player at the D3 level, I probably would’ve done the same if I were him.

Green Bay must have low balled him with their NIL offer if he chose a D3 school over them. Even if they offered him 15k that’s 15k more than he would have gotten at Platteville. I’m curious what this “more to the story” riddle shooting the j always speaks in then never offers any insight to it and the story never comes out about it. If these kids want to get paid and get treated like adults they no longer should be afforded the privacy kids get when it comes to why schools turn them down or why they turn schools down.

Pearson got his GB offer on 3/29. He announced his decision on 4/19. In the 21 days in between more players became available and have visited GB. We know recruiting is fluid, priorities change. I would not be so sure that he picked a D3 over GB, when it's just as likely GB moved their recruiting priorities to other players. If that’s the case great. But the portal closes in a week and a half and we still have a lot of gaps to fill to be cute about it. I’m still surprised Reynolds hasn’t picked a school yet. Or any of these other guys that left other than Byrne.

Either way, I'm not sure he could defend at this level. For being a d-3 player of the year you take a chance if you’re a school like GB that he can figure it out at the defensive level. Byrne couldn’t defend either but at least he was an asset offensively. When you’re a small school you take potential over certain flaws. He’s only got one year left anyways so if it didn’t work out they could easily move on.

Or any of these other guys that left other than Byrne. I don't disagree that there are holes to fill. I think this is a game of dominos. The guys at the top have to make their picks and then everyone else falls into place. I would guess the GB staff feels pretty good about their recruiting pool, even knowing they won't get all of their top picks. I highly doubt there was any NIL money for Logan. GB would already be taking a risk bringing him in, you don't pay for guys like that. Noah will be picking within 5 days IMO. Jones seems to be gathering interest but not offers yet. Wade and Cummings are likely D2. Jacob seems like a juco guy or back to Canada.

I doubt Sunny’s gonna find 6 players better than him at this point. Don’t understand why Jacob would leave either then unless Sunny told him to leave. I think he could be a contributor in another year.

His choice was between coming off the bench at GB or being a star player at the D3 level, I probably would’ve done the same if I were him. Uh…..have you never watched d3 basketball? What division was the team that lost at the buzzer THIS preseason against the nix? The division you play at has more to do with your networking in aau ball etc than it does with actual skill. When Cerroni transferred down to SNC he was the third best player on the team and he was very solid for GB. Where was Duncan Robinson before Michigan and the NBA? Tons of other examples, as well. Depending on how the roster fills out, Pearson probably would’ve ended up starting for GB if Noah doesn’t come back.

I listened to the st. Norbert game on the radio. Kam cerroni from 10 years ago transferred to st. Norbert to Gary Greszk who uwgb has interviewed for the head coach position 3 times if uwgb would have hired him l would have never been a manager. Linc Darner came from d2 Florida southern. Will Ryan came from d2 wheeling university. I don’t want division 2 or division 3 games. The game against st. Norbert this year will eames got hurt early. From what I remember I don’t think Noah Reynolds played? I don’t think Noah comes back. Or Elijah jones comes back. Antshak could be back. But you could get a Gus Yalden who just like him.

If Pearson didn’t have confidence in himself that he could be a difference maker at the D1 level, why should I think he could’ve made a difference? Clearly he thinks his game is better suited for the D3 level, against vastly inferior size and athleticism. I won’t question him on that, go get that WIAC title kid.

Yes, a great way to show how loyal you are is to announce you’re transferring, only to come running back when the offers (or lack there of) aren’t what you expected. If his decision was about loyalty, he wouldn’t have entered the portal to begin with.

We are all free agents at one time or another.

Players who are entered into the portal are free to choose a a new school right up until school starts in the fall.

And sometimes you get Milwaukee panther fans in a uwgb boards? You’re more than welcome over on our board. Or you could just ban me here like you blocked me on Twitter. You tweeted at me more than anyone else then randomly blocked me after the season, I wonder why. Pearson got his GB offer on 3/29. He announced his decision on 4/19.
