[QUOTE="jojatk, post: 926686, member: 2627"] I understood that. There’s a fundamental problem with what you and others are saying. You are taking away something that many KIDS think is a positive because you have a bad impression of the city and the GT surroundings. Do you understand that every city has the same problems people are complaining about? Yes every city. Some more than others of course. But there are people who still want to be there. Yet you want to take away a massive potential positive. One of my frustrations with our fans and our program is a seeming inability to get that we have to try and take advantage of everything that could possibly be a positive. We are in ATL whether you or anyone else likes that. Either we say nothing and all the kids hear is the negative recruiting which, oddly enough, is exactly the things you all are bringing up, or we say something positive and maybe they also hear that. Maybe we undercut the negative by addressing what ATL has going for it. Similarly we seem reluctant to take advantage of small, free things because individually they are small. Well guess what. If you get enough small things together eventually you have a big thing. I disagree with some of the silly things Collins did to play up the ATL but he wasn’t wrong to want to use the positives about the city. He just didn’t ever back up anything on the football field because he’s a crappy leader. Have you ever wondered why companies have multiple different marketing campaigns? I’m sure I can’t be telling you something you don’t know already but it’s because not everyone responds to the same stimuli. If a kid is completely uninterested in living in a city we probably can’t get him. But if he doesn’t care where he lives then our campaigns about academics and facilities and job potentials with internships and exposure by being in a P5 conference etc… might appeal. And if a kid does want to live in a city then we’ve got a good one that may just have things he likes. I’m 56 years old. What appeals to me is vastly different than what appeals to my 19 year old kid and her friends. So I try to keep an open mind and NOT put my likes and dislikes onto what I think recruits might like or dislike. My point is if you want to understand how to help sell GT then I suggest looking at everything we have and trying to figure out what IS positive about it. If there is anything you think is negative I can GUARANTEE that someone else is using it against us and we better have answers and not come back with “yeah you are so right this city is really dangerous.” That’s all I’ve got. You all can go back to bashing Atlanta. [/QUOTE]
