[QUOTE="glandon1960, post: 661293, member: 2458"] Spot on. Great assessment. This strategy gets you a team that is in the tournament consistently (i.e. most years). It is what CJP said he wanted to do when he got here, and he said he felt is was the best way for GT to compete year-in and year-out. You need the one/done or someone that is (and should) go pro is 2-3 years to complement them to compete for ACC title (and by extension be a top 10 team in the country). It will be curious to see what happens at UGA - Hammonds and Edwards are likely gone after the year - what I saw on the floor in Athens last night from the rest of their team was not that impressive - I do not think UGA can consistently attract players of Edwards callibre (the UGA fans I sat next to over there last night told me they were enjoying his one season and could not believe they got him for this year). Look at Notre Dame - they have not had many players leave early for pros. They have fielded older teams and most years are in the NCAA or at least in the discussion (last year they were decimated by injuries, so can't look at that as the norm). They need the one or two difference makers on the team to take them to the top tier of the league. I see GT, as Pastner's teams are getting older, in similar situation. I also agree with Red that CJP can no longer sell the 'vision', and now must recruit more based on results. Winning this year and next gives him the chance to do that. [/QUOTE]
