[QUOTE="steebu, post: 475844, member: 740"] GT has never landed a 5* recruit, fwiw. When did we ever consistently land top 150 guys for that matter? Adding majors by itself will help but it's only a piece of the puzzle; we have to recruit nationally. The reality is we are surrounded by football-first factories in the south where high school education isn't a priority. Consider where Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Louisiana rank on the list of high school education. Sure, we tap Florida, but it would be great to go after kids in Virginia, Texas, California, places where there is no inbred (pun intended) bias against GT where high school education is better than anywhere else in the south outside of metro Atlanta. Consider what CPJ said on the radio show before the Duke game: 9 of Duke's 11 starters on defense aren't from North Carolina. He also said that they were the best defense GT would see outside of Clemson, and they definitely proved it. Smart kids who can play are out there. They just don't always want to major in engineering or the liberal arts majors we DO have (econ, management, etc.). But I bet they might take a stab at Sports Science, Telecommunication and Journalism, or Technology and Forensic Sciences. [/QUOTE]
