He told me this morning he expects to sign some guys in the spring and feels like we are close to turning the corner. (I had mentioned I noticed last night many times where all 5 of our guys on the court were in their first year at GT.) . He continues to feel like we've been snake bit. Think of the injuries earlier. Then last night we had 3 guys out sick plus Jose and Devoe both got knocked out of the game for a bit. If its not 1 thing its another. We'll get there. I like to remind people Coach Josh Pastner has been ACC Coach of the Year half of his time here.
Yeah he told me the basics, and responded to a question I had about a recruit that I knew here in Alabama. He said it was hard to get players away from another state when the state school has been after them for a long time (I'm assuming $$$). I asked if $$$ was an issue with us losing guys like Edwards and Watson, but he didn't respond to that, just gave the blue blood answer from the radio show. He's a good guy, but I'm concerned with his personality when it comes to winning over 17 year old kids. He can win over my dad all day, but he seems a little stiff and nerdy (no offense to the nerds). We're an offensive stud away from the tourney next year I think. He mentioned trying to get some bucket getters in the spring, so I guess they have some guys in mind. I'll keep supporting the team, I appreciate him being so transparent.
