[QUOTE="KlausMikaelsonTheOriginal, post: 25342, member: 886"] No, this is a very flawed argument. If an illiterate Recruit is being wooed by a BCS college, then the only other player that will take that Recruit's slot is another player that has the SKILLSET the coach is looking for first and foremost, and then IF that "replacement" Recruit wants to major in Engineering, then that is a bonus. CPJ, Saban, Urban Meyer, Malzahn or any other College HC is not going to replace "on-field talent" with a student that is serious about majoring in Engineering unless that recruit that desires to major in Engr. is at the SAME TALENT LEVEL OR VERY CLOSE. The first, primary filter that BCS level HCs use is on-field talent, and then after that character, academics and everything else comes into play. The most high-character recruit in the world won't get a BCS level scholly if his talent is not "close enough" to make a HC take chance on him, the same goes for the smartest recruit. In summary the #1 criteria is talent for the game. In the example above if your SA is waiting on Presby as his last choice, last hope, then he probably doesn't have BCS level talent. It would probably benefit him to start contacting D-II and D-III schools to see if they have any interest. Even at the FCS/D1-AA level many of those HCs "wait" for recruits that cannot get BCS schollies, so even at that level your SA is probably out of luck. It all comes down to talent. A music dept. doesn't give out a scholly/financial aid package to the student that is the smartest, they give it to the best singer or musician, that can also do the academics at that school. There is a huge difference between talent-based schollies and academic-based schollies. [/QUOTE]
