[QUOTE="Root4GT, post: 1003121, member: 5618"] A foundation needed to be laid for GT BB. GTBB has been lost in the wilderness for 15+ years with no foundation to build upon. I saw a foundation being laid for the first time in a very long time. We have 2 excellent freshmen who positively impact the game and both progressed very well this year playing 2 of the most difficult positions for freshmen to impact. They are the foundation pieces! Making last year's roster turned over an issue is a Red Herring at best. The only players that possibly could have contributed this season that left were Smith and Moore. Smith didn't play the last several weeks last season and it seemed clear at that point he was done with GT. That is about the normal level of turnover for every college team. Lose two players who were marginal contributors the prior season. No big deal. Reeves and Gapare contributed at the level Smith and Moore contributed last season. Get used to this as it is the way of college BB now! The coaching staff seems very solid. CDS has a clear method he wants his players to practice and play. To play winning basketball the way he wants the players to play GTBB needs more good basketball players. Of course that is true for every ACC BB team. UVA may be the only ACC BB team that does not have a significantly better BB roster than GT that clearly was a better team this year. Recruiting very good players is essential to winning in the ACC. That has been the core problem for GT BB since Hewitt's time as HC. Recruiting in 1 year with CDS is better than any time since Hewitt. Digging out of the hole GTBB has been in is not easy. Lack of money and fan support hurts. Winning is what will turn those issues around. Next year GTBB has a chance to be in the mid pack of the ACC around .500 in Conference play; hard to see us being better than that. Our talent level has been that bad and is still lower tier ACC. Getting Davis as another capable PG would be a huge get though is appears money is calling him to FSU. Getting at least one more high level player from the Portal would help a lot. Anyone who expected a quick jump from GTBB being a very bottom tier ACC team to an average ACC team had unrealistic expectations! [/QUOTE]
