[QUOTE="takethepoints, post: 34138, member: 265"] I think you're right and that this was one of the reasons we hired Coach: he had just come from an environment with similar standards and high expectations. In general, I think the experiment has worked out ok, though we could do better then the last two years. One thing we did ignore - I didn't know this until much later - is that there aren't any athletic scholarships at the academies. Everybody is going to school on the taxpayers's nickel so what you get is a pretty doggone large pool of talent to pick from. True, almost all the talent is at the "two star, if you're lucky" level, but there is always room for a diamond in the rough (provided the Senate comes through with the appointment, that is). It also doesn't help that Georgia has one of the worst secondary education systems in the country. Given what the students "learn" in a good proportion of the state's high schools, I'm sure the response you posit is more common then not. [/QUOTE]
