What's this?

You can coach up talent. But not height

We won't be able to out recruit the big boys for true 7 foot 4/5 star recruits. It is what it is. Unless we hire a coach who is willing to cheat and none of us want that. So we need to be realistic of who we recruit and then coach their skill set up with maturity. Aluma is a great example though he is only 6'9" (reportedly). His first 2 years at Wofford he wasn't a big scorer. But after sitting out one year at VT while practicing with the team he got stronger and a better player.
