[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 784443, member: 282"] This has been a tough road for our seniors, and they’ve gutted out the last few years to bring our program back around. In 2017, Haywood, Alvarado, Moses Wright, and Evan Cole as our new recruits. Pastner was in his second year, and just had a better first season than expected, everything was looking like we were set for a faster turnaround than expected, and the assistant coaches were Reveno, Tavaras Hardy, and Darryl Labarrie. Lammers was our star that year. Alvarado stood out that year as a gritty young player. 2017 and 2018 were rough years for our basketball team. We’d favored transfers over recruiting (with our previous coach), but we did have Okogie for a little while. 2018 was the first year for Schwartz and Wilkins as assistant coaches. Pastner was under a lot of heat, and this set the stage for probation and recruiting restrictions that we’re pretty much past. Not only did Alvarado and Wright (and Cole) stick with us through this time, but Bubba Parham and Jordan Usher came over to join us last season after seeing the grinder we’d been put through and said “I want to play with those guys and those coaches”. Finally last year, we pulled off a winning ACC season and should have had a shot at post-season, but between COVID and the NCAA our players had to end a season early when they were playing really well. This doesn’t even count the injuries that these players have fought their way through over the past couple of years. If you wanted to look at a group of players and see what “grit” is, you couldn’t find a better group of players. There are a lot of things that could have made the last four years easier, but almost none of them happened. Through all of that, they’ve fought hard, taken a ton of bad bounces, and squeezed their way towards the NCAAs. Congrats to all of them. Let’s win at Wake and push our way into the NCAAs and cap this four years off in the right way! [/QUOTE]
