[QUOTE="RamblinRed, post: 432616, member: 1776"] We'll see. He got a Top 50 recruit in the last class in Devoe - first time we've landed one of those in 6 years. Has a good shot at landing another Top 50 recruit this year in Watson. So far the recruiting is going fine for me. He made it clear when he was hired he did not expect to be going after alot of one and done types and that he had learned at Memphis that just recruiting the most highly rated players wasn't always the best strategy, that you needed guys who wanted to be there and were willing to work hard and be good teammates. His recruiting has progressed largely as I expected when he was hired. For better or worse, you just can't recruit anybody you want to when you coach GT, you have to recruit guys you can get through the Hill and guys who are likely to be able to deal with the courseload and not fail out. Yrs 4 and 5 were always going to be the years were I ultimately judge Pastner's success at GT and whether he is a long term answer - that involves not only record on the court, but also how well recruiting is going and how things are going off the court as well. Basketball HC's are usually involved very early on with the top couple of prospects they want in a class (such as Watson, or Little and Devoe last year) and less so with guys slightly further down the list who have more time with the assts.
