[QUOTE="Techster, post: 221220, member: 360"] I read an article that one of the recruiting issues Pastner had at Memphis was that he couldn't sell academics at Memphis and his pool of kids were limited to guys who weren't necessarily bad kids, they just grew up in a different environment than what he believed in. Let's face it, the GTs/Dukes/Stanfords of the basketball world recruit a different kind of kid. You're talking about a coach who doesn't cuss, drink, or smoke trying to relate to guys who have no problem questioning his authority in front of the team and talking back versus a player like Marcus Georges Hunt who is probably the model NCAA athlete. Guys like MGH don't go to Memphis, just like a certain subset of recruits don't go to GT. Part of why his teams looked bad at times...some of his guys may have had different agendas. You get guys who buy into TEAM, and not the AAU let's show the scouts NBA skills type, and the overall team product is better. Now that he's at GT, let's see the type of kids he can pull in when he can sell academics....because he has to sell it given the rigor of the school. [/QUOTE]
