[QUOTE="BeeRBee, post: 577620, member: 1466"] In addition to the other good points that have been made, I have a personal theory that recruiting to GT is just different, and until a coach is here and experiencing it they can't really understand it. I'm not saying it's harder than any other school - every place has advantages and disadvantages - but GT and the academic atmosphere is just different. All coaches have supreme self-confidence, but convincing a kid to come hoop for four years in Starkville is different than convincing them to come and put extra effort into academics taking away from time spent on basketball (or other things.) As noted, Pastner and staff seem to have been very good at spotting talent early. What they perhaps have not been as good at is evaluating the likelihood of those players wanting to come to GT once they get other offers, but this is a key factor as well. It's an open question whether they are getting better at this with experience, and the staff turnover can't be helping. Also as noted by others, better results could help make GT more attractive to some of these recruits. Under my theory, Collins has a massive advantage in having recruited to Tech before, and in building a staff with some experience with GT. Ultimately either Pastner will figure it out, or he won't make it. I do think this argues for a little more patience with coaches here. [/QUOTE]
