3rd Assistant?
Have we hired a 3rd assistant? I read this board and the CA routinely, and haven't seen anything posted about it recently. Did I miss something?

RE: 3rd Assistant?
So, what's the story? There were a couple of names being mentioned and then everything went silent.

If GT gets rid of him, I would be more than fine with Pastner as an assistant. That is what he excels at, IMO.

No, he is not a good mental fit. He needs to go to some small Div III school.

Going into his third season at GT, who are the top three recruits he’s signed and what are their star ratings and national rankings?

It is much tougher for him to sell himself as he has proven to be shaky as a head coach
I think Pastner would be very successful selling a better head coach to recruits.

Yep -- I strongly suspect this is the right answer.

Man, I just looked it up, and according to 24/7, Pastner has only signed 1 4* (Micheal Devoe) since he has been at GA Tech. That is kinda surprising seeing that recruiting was his strong suit.

His recruiting has fallen off. He can't grind anymore like he did.
#74
#78
#41
Those are average classes. You can't win with that in the ACC.

Yeah. Not at our school.
Some boyfriends you can’t take back—-but you wish them well.
Some boyfriends you don’t wanna think about, but if you happen to see them, it’s ok.
Some you wanna forget they ever happened, but you can’t.
Ok lol, this boyfriend thing is gettin too weird. Gotta wrap it up.
Pastner leans toward the first with hints of the second and occasional dips into the third. Dilly Dilly!

I am sure he is grinding...
But now he has a history...
It is easier to sell nothing than it is to sell all the baggage he is carrying.

Going into the season with 2 AC's and will see if we can pickup a waived NBA player along the way - like Luke Walton.
Really, all signs point towards Sam Mitchell when he gets through working the 2019's this summer.

There has been no public movement in any direction other than Brown to Mitchell.
Insiders might have some more concrete info but they ain’t talkin.
