[QUOTE="gte447f, post: 926895, member: 4289"] I agree that most of the top tier players couldn’t care less about getting a college degree, and therefore, the GT high academic degree, valuable life advantage, sales pitch isn’t going to sway them, and might even be a turn off for them. However, I think there is a demographic of very capable basketball players, especially within a well coached team ethos, that can be attracted to the the high academic rigor, blue collar argument when it’s presented well. It’s basically the unofficial sales pitch for GT recruiting. We hear the concept given lip service by fans, alumni, and school officials all the time. I just pointed it out in Pastner’s press conference because I think that is about as good of a job as I have ever heard of articulating the idea by one of our coaches in any sport, or by an AD or other school official for that matter.
