[QUOTE="Boomergump, post: 92291, member: 639"] As far as the academic piece and recruiting is concerned. I don't buy any of that as an excuse. We are who we are, an athletic program full of real students. Does it mean we need to do things a little differently than some other programs? Of course. So, let's do things a little differently. I don't care if it is harder. Just do it and get it done. Spend more money, look a little harder. The right kids are out there, you just can't be lazy or cheap and find them. If GT will commit the resources, we will find the right kids under CPJ. I firmly believe there are a lot of kids who would love GT and be good fits, who just don't know they would love it, because they haven't thought about it. We need to get the message to them even though they may not be close by. I look at our academics as a strength, not a weakness. The pool may be smaller, but good kids want to come here, kids you can be proud of when they leave. More importantly, we all know they benefitted in the long run for having been here. We don't use people and spit them out, we prepare kids for life and leadership. We send them out into the world way way more capable than when they got here. Special Ed Conference schools can't say that. [/QUOTE]
