How’s that 2015 class coming along?
This program is a house of cards it takes one dud recruiting class to go from Bubble team *bravo* to dumpster fire. Relying on transfers is like funding long term assets with overnight liabilities. It works fine until it doesn’t.
So take a sigh of relief thank goodness we kicked the can.
Does anyone know if he can play defense?
If he can I’m sure MG will fix that before he sees the court.Must have missed this one line comment that certainly wasted my time.
This gives us back a local kid from the ’12 class. He was probably third best area SG prospect behind Purvis and T Graham. Now he’s about to do what neither of them could. Kinda cool.
Can he play defense? Probably a lot better than our cornerbacks did last year.
Wolf in atl – I actually had thought that may be possible. However I am still not sure got doesn’t take that extra time and spend it on offense.
What really tees me off more than anything is the poor defensive rebounding. As someone else mentioned our half court d isn’t terrible…but when you get stops you need to rebound. We don’t force to’s and we don’t rebound well defensively. A top 25 team does at least one of those.
I do think gott is recruiting well. I really like our depth everywhere but the pg position. I am concerned about that position more so next year. Like I said, I see tourney bids in our future but don’t see us in top 4 of acc or a top 6 seed in the tourney…aka another year where we will be paying a lot of attention to dance card.
I have ZERO problem with bringing in transfers. In fact, I affirmatively like it. Bring in players with some experience, who get a year to practice and integrate with the team before PT is even an issue. Very good way to strategically add to roster depth and fill holes.
What do you guys think about ESPN’s Top 50 Coaches list? Gott isn’t up there (not saying he should be, though they have the likes of Mike Brey on it). I think 3 straight NCAA appearances, including 1 Sweet 16 (after years of futility), good recruiting, and a player taken in the lottery deserves at least an honorable mention. Though, I agree with what everyone else has said; we MUST get better defensively, particularly defensive rebounding and cutting down on the TOs (especially on inbounds).
What do you guys think about ESPN’s Top 50 Coaches list?
There is a whole thread on this. My take is he should certainly be in the top 75, maybe even in the 45-50 range.
As for the defense reasons, or lack thereof, I really don’t know why he isn’t good. But the stats show he isn’t good. Not just here but at Bama as well. It does not seem as if he puts an emphasis on D in game. I have no idea what happens in practice.
