[QUOTE="Connell62, post: 905925, member: 484"] Just realized that I did not respond. See my thoughts below: [B]1.) So do you think this offense hurts his recruiting similar to the football option offense?[/B] No, I don't think that the offense has hindered his ability to recruit. These days, kids want to run and shoot three's, big men no longer want to camp out in the post. Hopefully this year, we see it evolve a bit and that may help, but I don't think it has hurt us. We have gotten solid recruits, but there are a few major factors that really hurt us. 1. Shoe money (now NIL), 2.) Ron Bell fiasco, and 3.) the fact that GT was largely irrelevant from 2010 - 2019/2020. Most kids today weren't alive when we made our run to the finals. The end of the Paul Hewitt and the Brian Gregory era was a bad time for GT hoops. [B]2.) So based on what I just read where he says the zone won’t be the primary D, why doesn’t he consider a different offense? [/B]I've talked to Josh about this and his was response is that this is what the kids know, and it has been effective when we have the right personnel. He recognizes that we need to do a better job of playing to our strengths, and that is why you have seen comments about this year's squad getting out and running more, not initiating the Princeton as much through the elbow, getting quicker shots, eliminating, careless turnovers. Said differently, I don't think that our problems a year ago were solely due to the offense that we ran, as much as how we were running it. Two years ago, we were one of the top offensive teams in the ACC/country using this same offense. [/QUOTE]
