[QUOTE="lv20gt, post: 661199, member: 2299"] Get old stay old is about making sure you consistently have a core group of upperclassmen that you can lean on. It doesn't mean ignore one and done talent or not try and get guys that can contribute right away. But what you don't want to have to do as a coach is play freshmen more than they are ready. Maybe that means only playing a 5* 20 minutes a game instead of 30, or it might mean taking a guy like Moses and letting him learn for 2 years before actually. In either case, the freshman is playing what they are capable of and not needing to carry a greater load than that. Currently we're in a decent position to reach that. Our current distribution of scholarships is as follows. Sr - Banks, Phillips Jr - Alvarado, Parham, Wright, Cole, Usher Soph - Devoe, Moore, Didenko Fr - Price, Sjolund HS - Gigiberia, Meka, Maxwell We'll have 4 spots for our next class, assuming the reduction sticks and Devoe stays. With how we have put together a team we can field a starting 5 after next year of Devoe, Moore, Price/Sjolund, Meka, and Gigiberia with the other one of Price/Sjolund and Maxwell coming off the bench. Lets say we start the 2021 class with something similar to what our 2020 class was. 4* point guard, a 3* Center, and 3* wing or PF. If we get that then we can go for a one and done PF or wing and still be fine. Then, after that year we can do something similar for when Devoe and company leave. Now is that how you win ACC or NCAA Championships? Maybe not. We'd probably have to sprinkle in more guys who might go pro after 2 or 3 years to make that happen, but at the moment we shouldn't be worrying about that. We need to first become a consistent tournament team before worrying about championships. [/QUOTE]
