  1. Pastner Staff Thread

    The whole HS coach to college assistant is a great topic. Seriously, someone should write a book. Would be fascinating. Some very successful HS coaches turn down offers and stay in HS for decades. Morgan Wootten, Bob Hurley, Stu Vetter et al. They always point to their love of working...
  2. Pastner Staff Thread

    Is a homerun recruiting personality living in a city that produces 6-10 top 100 recruits annually 2017 is a stellar year for Atlanta HS recruits. Currently 8 kids in the Rivals 150. Got me thinking about whether 2017 is the norm or an outlier. The last 4 years (2013 - 2016) were not great...
  3. ACC Discussion

    @orientalnc you nailed it. Ever since the N&O broke the story of the academic fraud at UNC about 8 years ago, that's been the big focus for the WuffPack. Their hatred for all things Chapel Hill is hard to grasp unless you live in the area. Most NCSU fans I know would glad go 0-12...
  4. Coaches on the Hot Seat

    a quick Google search is all you need. Pearl is filthy.
  5. Coaches on the Hot Seat

    Now he gets to recruit with the lowlife of all time. Pearl makes Cal look innocent. AU alums will throw plenty of cash to get recruits. (See: Newton, Cam). Only a matter of time til Pearl is out and they're on probation.
  6. What We Know

    Jorgensen leaving? We need every warm body to have a team next year. Seriously, our returning players (Heath, Stephens, Tadic, Lammers, Jorgensen, Hayward) are not a fearsome group. Without Jorgy, we're down to 5 guys and likely to lose at least one more. We may be playing walk ons...
  7. Pastner Staff Thread

    Does CJP really think Memphis is the most intense coaching job in the country? Is he delusional or just stupid? It's not even in the top 20. So far his inability to manage the press worries me more than anything. I think we need to hire Kevin Costner to coach him through the media...
  8. Pastner Staff Thread

    re: Gottfried: the natives in Raleigh are very restless. Partly due to the product on the floor, partly due to the rumors of his indiscretions. Who knows if they're true or not? The same thing was rumored about Jeff Jones at UVA. Bottom line, when an ACC team falls from the level the fan...
  9. ACC Discussion

    will be interesting to see where he goes next. He had an up and down freshman year but he clearly has major potential.
  10. Georgia Tech has hired Josh Pastner

    Back to the GT portion of the thread... I would love to see Tech in the top 25 every year (see post a back before the Memphis trolls hopped on).... unfortunately, that has never happened in my lifetime (I'm 50). At best, Tech has had 4 or 5 years runs in the top 25, broken up by 8 - 10 year...
  11. ACC Discussion

    This has been out there for a month. Duke didn't push him out. His dad didn't think he got enough to PT. sad, but true. These days AAU coaches and parents get way too involved in their kids' decisions
  12. Pastner Staff Thread

    Techs best teams were Oklahoma (Price), NYC (Salley & Dalrymple), Florida )Hammonds), Maryland (Ferrell), ..... I think the focus on recruiting Atlanta is overblown
  13. What is your definition of success for the next 3 years?

    2004 was the only time in past 20 years Tech has been above 500 in the ACC (9-7). They've had 10+ losses overall every season except one in past 30 years. I don't think it's realistic to expect Pastner to hit those levels in year one when he inherits a painful roster. Year two may be...
  14. What is your definition of success for the next 3 years?

    2016-17: win 10 games. Avoid 0-18 in ACC. With the roster we have coming back, nothing more than that is realistic 2017-18: win 6 ACC games and 15 overall 2018-19: finish .500 in ACC and win 20 overall. NIT definitely. NCAA possible
  15. The Day After

    UVA - Tech games will be interesting. Austin Nichols facing Pastner. Hope he brings in a strong game coach as an assistant. Pastner is known as a hard worker on the recruiting scene but generally mocked when it comes to game coaching / x and o. (Similar to Gottfried bringing Bobby Lutz...
  16. The Search Reloaded

    Hopefully it won't take Tech 14 days to sh*tcan Bozo if we end up with Kelsey
  17. The Search Reloaded

    Some folks outside the Flats are watching this. I got emails and texts yesterday and today from friends all over the country. Every one was heckling GT and Bozo about this. My buddies are all college hoop fans, so they care about the sport, but none has any connection to Tech. (Stanford...
  18. Ranking the ACC for Prospective Coaches

    My bad. VPI #14. no history . fans are non existent for hoops. football rules Blacksburg. backwater. no local recruiting
  19. Cuonzo Martin

    I have a source that is usually pretty good. He makes mistakes, like all of us. Possible that the Martin meet was not in Atlanta but elsewhere. He was very sure Martin and Bobinski were meeting. Told me that well before the story broke in SF paper yesterday. Tonight / tomorrow is just a...
  20. The Search

    awbuzz.... Capel was never a candidate. CBS reported it from "sources". AJC, as always, picked it up and reported it as gospel. The whole thing was something to keep people occupied while they waited for Valpo to lose. Unfortunately, Bozo didn't realize Drew loved Vandy
