[QUOTE="stinger 1957, post: 1009435, member: 1682"] CBK summed it up when asked about GT recruiting when he was recruiting at AL. "I Don't know, we never ran across them" (GT). The TO recruits athletes others don't want, (not totally true) it's one of the reasons the academies run it. They can be effective WO the great athlete. I totally agree with Jacketup we are just now recovering from a decision that was made roughly 17 years ago. I enjoyed the TO through the Justin Thomas years, think CPJ was the best at doing it and deserves all the honors and especially his development and caring of young men. After the '09 season I noticed a very different looking type athlete when I watched them, many of the Chan recruits were gone. Chan's greatest ability IMO was evaluation of athletes, Jerry Jones told me he was the best at evaluation he had ever seen, thus his hiring as OC at KC and hiring as HC at Buffalo, they were both heading into a rebuild at the time. The TO is appearing to me to have run it's course at least as it presently is being run. It may show up in a different form again in future years. As Grandpa Holtz once said if it's new they'll figure out how to defeat it eventually. I was not around during the 70s and 80s but my understanding is GT's administration mindset was to get out of athletics, and even though they hired Homer Rice in the 80s ( a really good AD IMO) the school still was not fully behind it, at least that is the way it appeared to me. This is the reason I got so excited when our current school Pres. made his comittment. [/QUOTE]
