I was going to post how Josh Pastner very quietly picked up two 3-point sharp shooters to go with the USC transfer he has coming in next season as well.
None of them are sexy, but at the bare minimum I can't say Josh Pastner is blind to the needs of the team. GT was dead last in power conference teams in 3-point shooting. They brought in the SoCon FOTY who is Top 5 nationally in 3-pt efficiency. And they brought in an undersized guard for Columbia, SC who shoots it deep (Cremins would be proud).
However, I realized that even if they went like gangbusters GT would still likely finish in the bottom half of the ACC. All I could hear was Pastner saying "we have got to get a bye in the first round of the ACCT." Such a low bar. And he still can't clear it.
So instead here ... have Danny Hall getting off the mat for the first time in several years and doing something: winning the season series against #4 UGAg: https://www.ajc.com/sports/college/georg...7iuYn9mRM/
GT baseball may actually have a pulse again. But I'll wait to see if there's some vintage Danny Hall play in the post season before I get too excited.

If message board activity is a concern, then you should expand with Memphis, Houston and Wichita St. immediately.

Clearly it was in anticipation of the NFL draft.

Well, the ACC certainly killed it... Vegas over/under was 5.5 ACC first rounders, but 7 were taken by the 18th pick.
No Hokies for some reason.

I probably could have gone another 36 hours without that.
