[QUOTE="Connell62, post: 577218, member: 484"] I’ve disagreed with you privately and will here as well. We do agree that there’s plenty to sell, and we should see more closes, but it’s not easy as it appears on paper. As we discussed, you don’t wake up and forget how to recruit, it’s just a lot harder at some places than others! There’s just as many headwinds if not more selling points. There’s a ton of variables, but the reason that we aren’t landing Atlanta kids has less to do with Pastner being awkward or uncool than us being relevant on the college basketball landscape or winning games. That cures all and it is a necessary step before any of the game-changing recruits start tripping over themselves to sign up. Recruits go on visits to other big time programs and see rabid crowds, at a GT game they may see 40% of the stands filled with opposing teams colors. Let’s call it like it is....GT hasn’t been in the dance since high school kids today were in diapers! They’ve never seen us there.... Look, I’m going to support the program just as hard if they name you the coach, but I just don’t think it’s as simple as saying Pastner isn’t a good fit at GT. If he’s not, then who is a good fit? What’s the profile? [/QUOTE]
