Continue ReadingDanville 6’6” 2018 power forward Julian Pearl is a big bodied post that is a tough rebounder. He was particularly effective with Team Manimal 16U getting on the offensive glass. He uses his strength and physicality to box out and snatch rebounds. Most of his points come on put backs and dump off passes.
He enjoyed running with his Team Manimal squad again this summer.
“It has been a journey. It has been a wakeup call because we have been playing with each other for two years and we have grown with each other.”
Pearl likes to dominate the glass.
“I feel like if I want to rebound, if I want it I will go get it. I can block shots.”
He is a tight end/defensive end on the gridiron where he says he has heard from a wide range of D1 programs, but isn’t hearing anything so far on the basketball front. Does he prefer one sport over the other for college?
“I am just trying to get scholarships.”
As a basketball prospect he projects as most likely a D3/NAIA player.
