[QUOTE="YlJacket, post: 445635, member: 2784"] That article lays out the high level issues facing the Jackets right now. Recruiting has been a slow uptick and in year 3 we are still full of question marks and projects - talent is improving but really young this far into a rebuild. Recruiting at the 4 star level has to improve for us to compete in the ACC. And this year we pretty much have to transition to the style Pastner wants to have which by all accounts is a much more uptempo style. Uptempo is more fun and all that but when you don't have the horses yet - it is a great way to get blown out on a routine basis by more talented horses. With Lammers gone we are going to have to switch to a much more perimeter focused defense. Clogging passing lanes, pressure on the ball and trying to get turnovers - while making sure we don't get blown by. AD likely won't last 20 min per game if we put the kind of pressure on him that we did on Lammers. And if you want to run, turnovers are the best way to get out on the open floor - not grind out position defense aka UVA. In a highly competitive league like the ACC, the basecase assumption here has to be that this situation and transition takes 2 years to an uptempo style with this year being the one we take our lumps. This is where Stansbury most likely has to be patient this year while the transition happens as I think it could get ugly at times unless a whole lot of question marks turn up aces. How warm CJP's seat is next year likely hinges on how recruiting goes - get a Watson and a high end big (IOW a big pick up in recruiting) and likely patience abounds. If we can't close on the recruits we are targeting this year and have the transition season I expect this year, then the warmth described in the article starts to become the operative word. [/QUOTE]
