[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 395225, member: 2299"] I think in theory that's basically what we want to do. But Ben keeps getting drawn further out to help the guards. I think the lack of shooters contributes, but it's more a product of a freshman PG not really taking control of the offense like he nees to combined with wings that don't have good point guard skills. First off one player can change the entire program, for a single year until he decides to go pro. That also means we have to attract that level of player that every single school wants, and you expect us to land that with no momentum recruiting wise, no recent history of relevance, and an overall terrible pitch when compared to teams being coached by hall of famers that have played in and sometimes won national championships? On top of that it isn't just any one and done that will change the program. Add a 5* center to this team wouldn't change much. It'd have to be a guy capable of carrying a team, as a freshman. Those are few and far between. Secondly, Pastner inherited not a single reliable, proven player and an overall weak recruiting class (yes Okogie was good but it was a one man class). When that is the case, yes, it does take 3 to 4 years because that's how long it takes for freshmen to become upperclassmen and get the level of experienced needed if you can't rely on bringing in one and dones every year which we have no reason to expect that we can. When the team you inherit doesn't have an ACC level PG, which sorry but Heath wasn't, and the recruiting class you inherit doesn't even feature one, Moore was recruited after Pastner got here, then how do you expect to rebuild before year 3 or 4 when that is the earliest that you could have an upperclassman PG? The only answer is through grad transfers, and if anyone actually thinks that is the path to success after the mess it got us into, then that's on you. [/QUOTE]
