ATLANTA -- Georgia Tech is starting over. Dylan Bundy Orioles Jersey .Again.Once an Atlantic Coast Conference powerhouse and program that sent a steady stream of players to the NBA, the Yellow Jackets havent made the NCAA tournament since 2010 -- a streak that doesnt figure to end in Josh Pastners first season as coach.Even Pastner acknowledges that reality.Its going to take a couple of years, he said, but our mission goal is to get us back to a championship-level program year in and year out, so we have a chance to get back in the tournament, ACC championships and all those good things that go with it.Pastner left Memphis to take over the Yellow Jackets, who dumped coach Brian Gregory after five seasons produced just one postseason appearance (last years run to the quarterfinals of the National Invitation Tournament) and a dismal 27-61 mark in the Atlantic Coast Conference.With his job on the line, Gregory relied heavily on seniors and one-and-done graduate transfers in his final season. That forces Pastner to rebuild the program essentially from scratch, having lost five players who accounted for nearly all the scoring and rebounding.In the loaded ACC, which looks to have several national championship contenders and up to 12 teams that could contend for NCAA berths, Georgia Tech is expected to bring up the rear along with Boston College and Wake Forest.It definitely gives us a chip on our shoulder and some motivation, senior guard Josh Heath said.Pastner is known as a top-notch recruiter, but it wont be easy to persuade the type of prospects that Georgia Tech needs to compete in the ACC. The program has been down for so long -- first declining under Paul Hewitt, and then completely falling off the radar during Gregorys forgettable tenure -- that its going to take quite a selling job for the latest coach to turn things around.Since making it all the way to the national championship game in 2004, the Yellow Jackets have failed to post a winning record in the ACC or advance past the second round in three NCAA tournament appearances.---Some other things to watch for in Pastners debut season:HUGE LOSSES: The Yellow Jackets must replace their top four scorers from last season -- G Marcus Georges-Hunt (16.7 ppg), G Adam Smith (15.0), F Nick Jacobs (10.5) and F Charles Mitchell (10.1). Thats not all. Mitchell was the leading rebounder (9.7 rpg), followed by Jacobs (5.8) and another departed player, F James White (4.4).LOOKING FOR POINTS: Senior F Quinton Stephens, who made 14 starts, is the top returning scorer at 6.0 points per game. Hell need to do more, along with Heath (4.3) and junior G Tadric Jackson (5.4). Pastner will also be counting on players such as 6-10 center Ben Lammers to step up at the offensive end. He shot 65.5 percent from the field in limited minutes.NEWCOMERS: Kellen McCormick and Jodan Price are graduate transfers wholl get a chance to bolster Georgia Techs outside shooting. McCormick hit 42 percent from 3-point range over three seasons at Western Michigan, while Price averaged 4.2 points last season at Eastern Michigan. Pastner needs them both connecting at better than 40 percent beyond the arc.THINKING LONG TERM: Knowing that his team will likely struggle for wins, Pastners major goal this season will be installing a system that begins to win back fans and win over recruits. A fast-paced style of play would be a big step in that direction, especially after Gregorys teams often bogged down in a stilted, half-court offensive game.SCHEDULING MATTERS: After five straight home games to start the season, beginning with the Nov. 11 opener against Tennessee Tech, the Yellow Jackets go on the road to face Penn State, Tennessee and VCU. That stretch of games will give Pastner the first true indication of what hes up against before the ACC schedule kicks off Dec. 31 with a home game against North Carolina, followed by a trip to Duke four days later.---Follow Paul Newberry on Twitter at www.twitter.com/pnewberry1963 .

Indias Shiv Chowrasia, who has finished runner-up in this tournament twice, was in second place after a 66. RIO DE JANEIRO -- The mens Olympic golf tournament has seen its share of negativity with all of the high-profile withdrawals. But the tournament does boast six of the top 12 players in the world, including six major championship winners. The 60-man field stretches from No. 5 Henrik Stenson of Sweden to No. 405 Jose-Filipe Lima of Brazil. While Lima is not expected to contend for a medal, the idea of a low-ranked player rising up and making things interesting certainly exists in golf. Here is a look at some of the main contenders for the gold medal -- and a few possible countries that could be sleepers to earn a silver or bronze medal.1. Henrik Stenson. The Swede is the hottest player in the field, having won a European Tour event in Germany, The Open and then a sixth-place tie at the PGA Championship. Stenson is also stoked to win here, certainly an important factor.2. Sergio Garcia. The Spaniard has also expressed nothing but enthusiasm for the Olympics, and was here to participate in the Opening Ceremony. Although Garcia missed the cut at the PGA, he finished fifth at both the U.S. Open and The Open. It would only be fitting if Garcia, tormented in the majors, ended up winning the first Olympic gold since golf was last held at the Games in 1904.3. Martin Kaymer. The two-time major winner from Germany has been hovering around 50th in the world for most of what as been a so-so season. He tied for seventh at the PGA Championship but has not won since his 2014 U.S. Open victory. Kaymer, however, is another player keen on the Olympic competition.4. Patrick Reed. One of the four Americans in the field, Reed might be the most fired up to participate in the Olympics. Ranked 14th in the world, Reed is coming off a tie for 11th at the Travelers Championship, his fourth consecutive finish between 10th and 13th. Reed has not won in more tthan a year. Jim Palmer Orioles Jersey. 5. Justin Rose. The Englishman continues to lurk around the top 10 in the world, a consistent contender but an infrequent winner. His last victory came in the fall at the Hong Kong Open, but his name is routinely on leaderboards, which makes him a threat anywhere. Rose has embraced the Olympics, was here early to see the course and seems poised to get a win.SLEEPERS1. Venezuela. Not a big golf-playing nation, but Jhonattan Vegas is a two-time PGA Tour winner who recently captured the Canadian Open. Few would be surprised to see him win here, let alone contend for a medal.2. Ireland. No Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland and Ireland compete as one nation in the Olympics). No Shane Lowry. No Graeme McDowell. No problem. Padraig Harrington still has the ability to get it done, and Seamus Power is an up-and-coming name in the game.3. Argentina. Not only is Emiliano Grillo a strong medal contender, but he could easily give Argentina its next major championship. Already a winner on the PGA Tour, he got into contention at the PGA. He also is a solid ball striker, a trait that will suit him well in windy Rio.4. India. Anirban Lahiri has already experienced plenty of international golf, playing a good bit this year in the United States and also competing last year on the International Presidents Cup team. His countryman SSP Chawrasia gets on the all-name team, but he could also surprise.5. Australia. Clearly the Aussies would not be on the outside looking in at a medal if Jason Day or Adam Scott or even Marc Leishman were here. But Scott Hend and Marcus Fraser are seasoned pros who have played around the world, including Europe and Asia -- although their success on the big stage is limited.
