[QUOTE="glandon1960, post: 395583, member: 2458"] I agree with Red's comments (as I find myself doing a lot). CJP made it clear early what his strategy was and that it would take 3-4 recruiting classes to get there. Jose looks like he will be solid 4 year starter - one of those players others will think 'he has not graduated yet'. PG play is key - especially in top conferences. Haywood shows a lot of potential to be solid ACC player (but not quite there yet) ... and Cole/Wright have shown flashes but need 1-2 more years (expected a little more from them this year, but did not expect either to be solid ACC level starters). AD's development has been amazing since early in the year ... would not bother me if he ends up starting at the 5 next year. Last year was the overachieving year of all years ... which set the bar a little higher in a lot of our eyes for this year. I think this team is about where it should be from competitive perspective - right now ...If healthy and with all players we would have beaten Grambling, Wofford, and Wright State .. possibly UCLA given their suspensions ... in the ACC we've done pretty much what I expected to date given where we are in the rebuild. Unlike Gregory who used grad transfers as core strategy once he realized he could not land the top tier recruits, Pastner has used them to fill out the roster. I don't want to rely on grad transfers, not sustainable (neither are 1 and done's unless you are Kentucky, Duke, etc.) - but if he could find solid big for next year would not hurt the long term strategy (AD won't play 35 minutes most nights without fouling out). I was at the game in Tallahassee (one of my daughters went to FSU and still lives there). People I spoke with were impressed with how hard GT played all night, and said FSU was playing one of their better offensive games. We lost it on turnovers - nothing else. Jackson also had one of the worst games of his career (could not finish, bad turnover after bad turnover) - CJP knew it but had no other options than to hope he broke out of it. As someone posted stat sheet - and I commented at the game , the stats showed the effort- GT got off more field goal attempts (but FSU made several more), more FT's (despite some fouls at the end), had more rebounds (Okogie was a beast on boards), and had same number of threes on the night. Where we got killed was bad turnovers (Jackson and Jose in particular) which led to too many easy baskets and at times the D stopped helping on penetration (FSU got to basket too easy). FSU is more athletic than GT, and that showed. I thought other than turnovers we played well enough to win, and left impressed with the overall effort despite the loss. [/QUOTE]
