[QUOTE="Techster, post: 109464, member: 360"] IMHO, it's MUCH easier to fix a basketball program than it is to fix a football program. It really only takes 1-2 very good recruiting classes...and 2-3 very good players. Especially at a school with the history and recruiting territory of GT. By year 2-3 a school probably knows the direction a coach is headed in. What concerns me about this staff is the over-reliance on transfers. It's like Kansas State football relying on JC players and other school's castoffs. That's not a good long term model for a program. Given the hotbed of Atlanta recruiting, and recruiting in the Southeast overall for basketball players, a school like GT shouldn't be so heavily dependent on transfers...just my opinion on that. GT has the ability to recruit elite national level players...Thaddeus Young, Iman Shumpert, Gani Lawal, Jarrett Jack, Derrick Favors, Chris Bosh, Stephon Marbury, Javaris Crittenden, Kenny Anderson, etc. GT has the ability to recruit the "just shy of elite" players...Travis Best, James Forrest, Lewis Clinch, BJ Elder, etc. GT has, and always will have recruiting "pull". The ACC makes it tough for us to be a perennial NCAA Tourney team, but there is no reason why we can't make the NCAA 2 out of every 4 years and at least the NIT the years we don't go to the NCAA. IMO, it's a failure on the current staff's part that we haven't been to any post season tournaments by now. [/QUOTE]
