[QUOTE="ZacketJacket, post: 281776, member: 3166"] Background: I have to admit -- I was as big a critic of the CJP hire as anyone. Pastner had a five solid seasons in Memphis after Calipari left; then they went 18-14 and 19-15. My assumption was that he was riding off the coattails of Calipari's recruiting. Just because you worked under a good coach doesn't mean you'll make a good coach yourself. We learned that with CBG. But I've started to warm up to CJP with the success we've had to start conference play this season. The Point: I think other teams in the ACC have more growth potential in their current rosters than we do, so I have to remind myself to temper my expectations for the rest of this season. However, since our conference schedule was so front-loaded, I don't see any reason we couldn't finish around .500 in conference play. I'll say we get to 9 wins, but I say that won't be enough for COY. I think we'll have to make the NCAA tournament and win a game or two. There will inevitably be some program that outperforms expectations and makes a run in the NCAA tournament. That's the kind of thing that gets attention and hype for a coach, and I can't see us doing that this year. Bottom Line: If Pastner learned anything about recruiting from Calipari and continues to get the potential out of his players that he has this year, we've got a lot to be excited about for the future of the program. Winning COY would just be icing on the cake and would be another selling point to future recruits to come play for us. [/QUOTE]
