    When does Pastner feel heat

    That it will require his best coaching effort since coming to Tech for this team to win. As mentioned, it will be tough for him to ever outperform the job he did in year one. That team was flat out horrific from an on-paper, talent perspective. BTW, let's also define what winning means for...

    When does Pastner feel heat

    Disagree. His first year at GT will be hard for him to top. The talent comparison between then and now is night and day. That year, he had Tadric Jackson, Ben Lammers - who avg less than 10 mpg the year prior, and an incoming Josh Okogie. I’m pretty sure the starting PG was Josh Heath...

    Preach! You really hit the nail on the head here. Anyone that points to recruiting ranks as a sign that Josh can’t recruit either hasn’t been paying attention to what’s happening in college athletics or they have an agenda.

    Nowhere to go but up

    Exactly. I’m pretty sure the year we went to the championship game, we were also picked to finish last or next to last. No, I’m not saying that we should expect the same from this group. My point is that preseason projection are just projections and mean diddily squat.

    When does Pastner feel heat

    I like the way he put it... He is going to use the zone as a change up, versus it being our fastball. He also talked about how other teams killed us on the boards last year due to the zone. Personally, I'm confident that we will be able to score the ball, but what will be able to do on...

    It was an offense that his assistant, Tavares Hardy, installed. He did not run it at Memphis.

    When does Pastner feel heat

    Still gonna run the Princeton, not as much from the elbow, but it will continue to be the offensive philosphy. The biggest "change" will be more of a focus on getting out in transition and taking shots (good shots) earlier in the clock...not giving the ball a headache. Another primary focus...

    He also talked about Meka improving and being able to provide some quality minutes as Meka's backup.

    When does Pastner feel heat

    There's 3-4 fonts on this board that have really taken away from what it used to be. Everyone knows who they are. Just a miserable bunch that never have anything positive to say, offer nothing toward the discussion, just completely uninformed about the college basketball landscape. There's a...

    When does Pastner feel heat

    It's going to be next year before he really contributes. He is only 18 and a few months removed AAU ball. He may play a role this year, but he's probably a season away from being a key part of the rotation. That said, the coaches are really high on and his future potential. Same with Freds.

    New court! Notice the Yellow Jackets word mark on the baseline.

    Always complaining about something aren't ya...? What's good kg?

    Do you realize that we just spent $10M+ for guy not to coach here any longer, and that we also have to pay a new coach + coordinators?

    When does Pastner feel heat

    That is precisely what happened...That along with the fact that that there were few Big-Men talented enough to fill the void to begin with. Just like this year, any transfer recruit in the portal that is capable of filling the ACC POY's shoes (or coming close) will be highly coveted. They're...

    College Basketball NIL Discussion

    I didn't read past the first paragraph since it was behind a paywall, but that statement alone seems like an inducement. Am I wrong? Last I checked, there's no star rating system for active NCAA athletes. 5 star's consist of high-school kids only.

    College Basketball NIL Discussion

    Interesting...I can't wait to see what this is all about. Show me an NIL collective specific to basketball and I am in. The currently active NIL collectives all seem to be dedicated to football with hoops getting crumbs on occassion.

    When does Pastner feel heat

    LOL...Professor, as usual, you are dead wrong. They weren't early draft entries but they both had the COVID year left. Most thought Jose was coming back, and it was unclear on Moses. Understandably so, they waited as long as they could to make an informed decision. It's easy for you to sit...

    LOL.. we can all rest easy now that professor Stevec has given his professional opinion on the 2023 schedule.

    Nah, there have been far worse. That said, that’s exactly what is needed. This squad needs to feast on as many cupcakes as possible. We’re counting on guys to do things they’ve never done (at this level) and we need to give them time to gel!
