[QUOTE="Techster, post: 1003076, member: 360"] In some ways I am VERY hopeful. Stoudamire instantly improved our talent level, and he's showing he can recruit with the big boys. He's also shown he can beat those big boys on the court which is what you want to see first and foremost. I saw development in some of the younger players that give you hope that Stoudamire can indeed develop young talent...GT is a place you can not be successful if you can't develop talent (that goes for our football team as well). However, other things have given me concern. Inconsistency, and too many "one step forward, one step back" stretches all season. We just could not seem to put out a consistent effort from game to game. Regardless of offensive talent, our defense should have been a LOT better. Given Stoudamire's reputation for defense, you would have hoped he could scheme some type of defense the way Pastner was able to with his less talented rosters (minus the teams that had Alvarado/Moses/Usher). For me, he's shown enough on the court (elite amount of Q1 wins) and in recruiting that there's light at the end of the tunnel there. There were some REALLY fun wins this year, but there were some atrocious losses as well. I didn't appreciate the "my guys" comment because a good coach shows he can win with a mix of inherited talent and recruited talent (Hewitt his first year, and Pastner his first year proved that). Now the work really begins. I expect this roster to get a heavy face lift this offseason. Of the "older" guys, I hope to see Kelly and Reeves both come back. Reeves kind of tailed off towards the end, but he can absolutely be a high end player on both ends of the court. Kelly we all know can be one of the country's most elite scorers when he's on...he just needs to be "on" more consistently. I'm excited to see this recruiting class under CDS, as well as who we'll bring in this offseason. [/QUOTE]
