With a recent win against No. 7 Duke and a victory over No. 21 Mississippi State, Stoudamire is starting to sow the seeds of a resurgence. Georgia Tech has struggled in recent years, but Stoudamire's unique background as a former player and his ability to relate to his roster may be the key to bringing the program back to relevance. Additionally, Stoudamire recognizes the importance of embracing name, image, and likeness opportunities to attract top talent and improve the team's standing in the competitive ACC.
