[QUOTE="orientalnc, post: 491566, member: 1199"] That 1982-83 team that had Price and Salley as freshmen went 13-15 (9-15 against Div 1 teams) and 4-10 in the ACC. I saw every home game that year and there were times when it was not pretty. The next year we went 18-11 with the addition of Bruce Dalrymple and Craig Neal and Yvon Joseph becoming eligible. The next year Cremins sign Duane Ferrell and Tech won the ACC Tournament. The next year he added Tommy Hammonds. The next year it was Brian Oliver. I am not sure at that point if any of those guys, with the possible exception of Ferrell, would have 5* recruits with a rating system like we have today. Maybe Hammonds, but he came from a part of Florida that got almost no media coverage. The next year Cremins signed Dennis Scott, a legit 5* and then, two years later, Kenny Anderson, the top PG in the country. The point of all this is that Cremins did not bring in a wave of top recruits. But he knew how to evaluate talent and his charming personality was almost irresistible. He also did not have to deal with AAU runners and hangers on. [/QUOTE]
